Sobre "Alto Turia Astronomical Center"

The Alto Turia Astronomical Observatory (CAAT) is located in Aras de los Olmos, in the Valencian region, and is managed by the Valencian Astronomy Association. Since its establishment in 1998, CAAT has become a regional leader in astronomical research, education, and outreach, offering both professionals and enthusiasts a privileged observation site.

This semi-professional observatory features telescopes up to 0.5 meters in diameter, used for astrophotography, observation, and scientific studies. It also includes facilities such as classrooms and specialized observation areas suitable for workshops and astronomy courses. This infrastructure supports both educational activities and research projects.

Situated on the Muela de Santa Catalina at an altitude of 1,280 meters, CAAT benefits from optimal observation conditions thanks to low light pollution and stable atmospheric conditions. These advantages have made it a reference center in the community, bringing astronomy closer to a broad audience.
