Poznań Observatory, Astronomical observatory at Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland
The observatory operates advanced telescopes and research equipment within a dedicated facility at Adam Mickiewicz University's physics department in Poznań.
Established in 1919, the observatory emerged from earlier astronomical traditions, including an 18th-century Jesuit observatory founded by Jozef Rogaliński.
The facility maintains an educational program through public seminars, conferences, and workshops that introduce astronomical sciences to students and visitors.
Located at Słoneczna 36 in Poznań, the observatory offers specialized research opportunities in asteroid physics, satellite dynamics, and stellar astrophysics.
The observatory contributed to the discovery of asteroid 1572 Posnania in 1949, which received its name in recognition of the city and institution.
