Višnjan Observatory, Astronomical observatory in Višnjan, Croatia
The observatory features eleven telescopes and a dedicated team of 78 members conducting astronomical research and collecting data about near-Earth objects.
Founded in 1992, the observatory moved to a new location near Tičan in 2009 due to increasing light pollution affecting observations at its original site.
The facility manages several educational initiatives including the Youth Science Camp, Summer School of Science, and Višnjan School of Astronomy for young researchers.
Individual visitors can participate in astronomy programs throughout 2024 for 15 euros per person, which includes lectures, observatory tours, and telescope observations.
The observatory has contributed to the discovery of 1420 asteroids and two comets, making it one of the twelve most productive observatories for asteroid research.
