High in the mountains of Aragats, where the air is crystal-clear and the stars appear almost within reach, stands the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory. Founded in 1946 by the great Viktor Hambardzumyan, it rose at once as a beacon of science, lighting the path to the mysteries of the Universe. Discoveries born here reshaped humanity's understanding of stars and galaxies and still today its domes are lifted toward infinity. In the quiet of the mountains, the 2.6-meter telescope opens its great eye to capture the ancient light of distant worlds, sent millions of years ago.
Visitors can enjoy lectures filled with wonder, screenings in the mobile planetarium and unforgettable nights beneath the living sky. Each moment here feels like a step into eternity, each star an answer to humanity's timeless question. The observatory unites earth and heaven, turning the peaks of Aragats into a bridge toward the cosmos. Sitting at its base and gazing upward, one feels eternity itself unfolding. The Byurakan Observatory is a temple of stars and knowledge, a luminous beacon among the mountains, guiding toward the unknown.
