Noto Radiotelescope

Noto Radiotelescope is INAF’s public-facing 32-metre radio-astronomy station in Sicily. Guided tours for schools, families and curious visitors explain how the dish works, bring visitors beneath the antenna and connect live observing with Italian radio-astronomy research; the operator also provides a webcam and real-time observing context. Visitor access is guided and booked rather than unrestricted, and working areas remain controlled, so confirm current tour dates, maintenance/weather changes and accessibility details with INAF before travel. Address: Contrada Renna Bassa, Località Case di Mezzo, 96017 Noto (SR), Italy.
