Noto Radio Observatory, Radio observatory in Noto, Sicily.
The Noto Radio Observatory houses a 32-meter diameter paraboloid antenna that captures radio signals from celestial objects across multiple frequency ranges.
Built in 1988, the observatory became an essential part of European radio astronomy network, contributing to numerous scientific discoveries through its advanced equipment.
The observatory maintains strong connections with universities and research institutions, providing educational programs for astronomy students and researchers from Italy and abroad.
Researchers can access the observatory's facilities throughout the year by submitting formal requests through the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics website.
The antenna's active surface technology allows it to adjust its shape in real-time, compensating for gravitational deformation and maintaining optimal signal reception.
