Evpatoria Observatory, Radio telescope facility in Yevpatoria, Crimea
Evpatoria Observatory is a radio telescope facility on the Crimean Peninsula equipped with a massive 70-meter antenna dish. The installation receives radio waves from deep space and studies planets and other celestial objects.
The facility was built in 1980 and served as a key component of the Soviet space program. It supported multiple planetary exploration missions, particularly the study of Venus and neighboring worlds.
The observatory gained worldwide attention by participating in programs that searched for signals from space and attempted to communicate with potential extraterrestrial life. This role made it a symbol of humanity's curiosity about other worlds.
The site is located in a rural area best explored with sturdy footwear and local transportation. The facility operates year-round, though visitors should confirm access in advance as not all sections are open to the public.
The observatory appears on a Russian 100-ruble banknote issued in 2015, featuring its distinctive antenna structure. This honor reflects the site's importance in Russian scientific achievement.
