P R O J E C T S   ASTRONOMY ASTROPHYSICS EDUCATION SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCES

Science Overview
Visnjan Observatory projects have two goals: do science research and develop educational methodology. We consider both aspects of our work equally important. The main research topic at Visnjan Observatory is the study of the small bodies of the Solar System. So far, we have discovered more than 1400 asteroids. Besides looking for new objects, we also keep track of known bodies and contribute in determining their orbits. Other technical research areas include telescope  construction, automatization  technology, data analysis, and storage software. As we have mentioned before, we have dedicated part of our program to educators. Visnjan helps train science teachers, and together, we work on new classroom techniques that create a fun and stimulative learning environment.
