A Journey to Ancient Bulgaria

VISIT THE NATIONAL ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY- ROZHEN, BULGARIA
The National Astronomical Observatory - Rozhen is the biggest observatory in Southeast Europe. It was opened in February 1981. This is one of the largest investments Bulgarian science has ever made. The observatory has three night telescopes: a 2-meter Ritchey-Chretien-Coude (RCC) telescope, a 50/70-cm Schmidt, and a 60-cm Cassegrain telescope. At the moment a new telescope is being built that will be used for observing the Sun, with a wide range of applications in the field of solar physics. A multifunctional infrastructure has been established in the observatory.
