    Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory

    Guests will visit Georgian National Astrophysical Observatory that was founded in 1932 by Academician Evgeni Kharadze on Mount Kanobili, near the Abastumani resort at the altitude between 1650 and 1700 m above sea level. Its distance from air pollution and artificial sky illumination, together with excellent natural conditions (a hilly landscape covered with coniferous forest) makes this location one of the best for observatories at the same altitude range. The weather is stable, without harsh and sudden changes. The observatory carries out wide-profile research spanning different fields of astronomy and astrophysics and investigations of the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere.
