Solaris Observatory sits in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland, and takes its name from Solaris, a global network of robotic telescopes coordinated by the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
About Solaris Observatory
The wider Solaris project uses 0.5-metre robotic telescopes fitted with 2K x 2K CCD cameras to hunt for and characterise circumbinary exoplanets, planets orbiting pairs of stars, by measuring tiny variations in eclipse timing. It's an international collaboration run through the Polish Academy of Sciences.

The precision needed to time exoplanet eclipses is the same kind of precision that lets an observatory point at a named star's exact coordinates. If you've named a star with us, its position is ready to find, or browse the star catalogue to see what's already been named.
Opening hours and public-visit programs vary by season. Check Google Maps for current times before you travel.
