Killarney Provincial Park Observatory, Astronomical observatory in Killarney Provincial Park, Canada.
The observatory contains two buildings with telescopes, including a 16-inch automated instrument and a 5-inch refractor for research and public viewing.
The facility opened in 2010 with a 10-inch Meade telescope to commemorate 25 years of astronomy education programs in the park.
The observatory buildings carry Indigenous names Waasa Debaabing and Kchi Waasa Debaabing, reflecting the connection between astronomy and native traditions.
Visitors can participate in astronomy programs on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays during summer and fall, with opportunities for daytime solar viewing.
The meteorite collection at the park office displays iron fragments and Allende specimens containing pre-solar grains from before our solar system formed.
