Astronomsko-geofizikalni observatorij Golovec
The Astronomical and Geophysical Observatory Golovec, located on Golovec Hill in Ljubljana, is a historic research and educational facility operated by the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Ljubljana. Established in 1949 at the initiative of Professor Fran Dominko, it was Slovenia’s first university observatory, designed to advance professional astronomy and geophysics. The observatory features a 5.5-meter dome housing the historic Askania Bamberg refractor and the modern 70-cm Vega telescope, used for photometry, gamma-ray burst studies, and comet observations. It serves as a vital training ground for students and hosts public events, open days, and group visits, fostering scientific curiosity and outreach.
