Atacama Desert Observatories

The Atacama Desert Observatories are advanced facilities located in one of the driest places on Earth, excellent for astronomy. Their clear, dry skies reduce atmospheric interference, enabling scientists to observe stars, planets, and distant galaxies with great precision. These observatories host large telescopes equipped with sophisticated instruments, allowing for detailed studies of the universe. The unique environment of the Atacama Desert, with high altitude and minimal light pollution, makes it one of the best locations worldwide for space observation and research.
