Greenhill Observatory, Research observatory in Spring Hill, Australia
The Greenhill Observatory stands at 646 meters elevation on Bisdee Tier, housing advanced telescopes for astronomical research and satellite tracking operations.
The University of Tasmania established this facility in 2013 to replace their previous observation center at Canopus Hill near Hobart.
The observatory honors Dr. John Greenhill through educational programs that connect students and researchers with astronomical studies and space exploration.
Located 50 kilometers north of Hobart, the facility contains the Harlingten Telescope, a 1.27-meter diameter reflector with specialized mounting systems.
A new antenna installed in 2023 implements bi-static radar technology to detect and monitor satellites and space debris with a 2 million dollar investment.
