Einstein Tower Einstein Tower Because the tower itself functions as a telescopic tube, Einstein Tower is also referred to as the "Tower Telescope". The building is 18.6 m high, with five floors above ground and one basement floor. The Solar Tower Telescope was nicknamed the "Einstein Tower" after the astrophysical observatory named Einstein Tower in Potsdam, Germany that was built to validate Einstein's general relativity theory through sunlight observations. The building in Mitaka has the same structure and functions, so it became known as the "Einstein Tower".
