Bernoulliborg, University observatory on Zernike Campus, Groningen, Netherlands

The Bernoulliborg building features a 40 cm Ritchey-Chrétien reflecting telescope within its dome, positioned at the top of the structure.

The architectural firm De Zwarte Hond completed the construction of Bernoulliborg in 2004, with an official opening ceremony taking place on February 7, 2008.

The Blaauw Observatory, named after Groningen astronomer Adriaan Blaauw, engages students and residents through public viewing sessions of celestial objects.

The observatory dome accommodates up to 25 visitors and includes a control room equipped with a spectroscope for analyzing light from celestial bodies.

Students prepare for observational trips to the Canary Islands by practicing astronomical research techniques at the Bernoulliborg observatory facilities.
