New astronomical station to be built in Karabakh

"Based on our proposals, a new astronomical station will be built in Karabakh shortly," the Executive Director of the Shamakhi Astrophysical Observatory named after N.Tusi, Professor Nariman Ismailov, said.

According to him, the leadership of the National Academy of Science of Azerbaijan supported the proposals to place modern robotic telescopes in the region, to create a central space test site in the territory of the observatory to study the Earth from space through satellite observations.

An employee of the observatory noted that this work would be an essential step for transforming the Shamakhi Astrophysical Observatory into an international scientific center for the study of deep and near space.
