Maiaky Observatory, Astronomical observatory in Maiaky, Ukraine.
The observatory includes two observation stations with reflectors, refractors, and telescopes positioned at 27 meters above sea level in Odesa Oblast.
Established in 1957 as part of Odesa Astronomical Observatory, the facility expanded research capabilities with the installation of the URAN-4 radiotelescope in 1981.
The observatory contributes to astronomical knowledge through publications in journals such as Odessa Astronomical Publications and maintains extensive research documentation.
Scientists at Maiaky Observatory determine celestial coordinates of stars and meteors while developing new telescoping and electronic systems for observations.
The facility houses one of the three largest collections of starry sky images on glass plates globally, containing over 100,000 plates from 1909 to 1989.
