Ka-Dar Observatory

The Ka-Dar Observatory is an astronomical research facility near Kuzminskoye equipped with telescopes for observing celestial objects. The elevated location provides good conditions for working with various observation equipment.

The observatory was established in 2004 as a center for astronomical research in the Moscow Oblast region. Since then it has developed into an important location for scientific observation and teaching.

The facility runs regular astronomy workshops and educational programs for student groups from nearby schools. Visitors often see classes of young people gathered around telescopes, learning from experienced observers.

The location is accessible by public transportation from central Moscow and offers observation sessions at scheduled times throughout the year. Visitors should check in advance when open viewing times are available and what conditions to expect on site.

The facility works closely with schools in the region and gives students direct access to astronomical instruments for hands-on learning. This makes it a rare place where young people can actually operate real research equipment themselves.
