Antares Astronomical Observatory, Astronomical observatory and university museum in Feira de Santana, Brazil.
The Antares Astronomical Observatory sits on the campus of the State University of Feira de Santana and functions as both a research facility and a place where visitors can learn about astronomy. The site has telescopes and educational materials that allow people to observe the sky and understand the cosmos.
The observatory was established in 1971 as the first astronomical research facility in Feira de Santana. Its founding preceded the university's establishment, marking the city's entry into organized astronomical research.
The observatory conducts regular educational programs that connect students and local residents with astronomical sciences through observations, lectures, and interactive displays.
