Paul Wild Observatory, Radio astronomy research station in Narrabri, Australia.
The observatory contains six 22-meter radio telescopes arranged in a line formation, with five moving on tracks and one fixed antenna positioned separately.
The facility received its name from John Paul Wild, a British-Australian scientist who led the development of the Culgoora Radioheliograph in 1967.
The research center advances Australian astronomy through the operation of the Australia Telescope Compact Array, contributing to global space exploration initiatives.
Visitors must deactivate mobile phones and Bluetooth devices during their visit to prevent interference with the sensitive radio telescope equipment.
The observatory maintains a specialized sundial memorial near the parking area that commemorates the scientific achievements of Paul Wild.
