Sternwarte Mirasteilas, Astronomical observatory in Falera, Switzerland
The Mirasteilas Observatory contains a 90-centimeter telescope positioned at an elevated location with minimal light interference for optimal celestial observations.
Construction of the observatory began in 2006 following a town meeting approval and received financial support through a 690,000 Swiss Francs loan.
The facility sends collected data about asteroids, comets, and satellites to the Minor Planet Center at Harvard University for scientific research.
Tours of the observatory occur on Fridays and Saturdays with trained demonstrators, costing 15 Swiss Francs for adults and 10 Swiss Francs for children.
The observatory discovered an asteroid named Falera in 2009, measuring 3 kilometers in diameter and completing its solar orbit every 5.5 years.
