The current Tadeusz Banachiewicz Astronomical Observatory in Lubomir was built in the location of the pre-war observation station that was a rural branch of the Krakow Observatory. The idea to create the first observation station came from Professor Tadeusz Banachiewicz. The station was opened in September 1922 but was destroyed as a result of military operations on 15 September 1944. The new building of the Astronomical Observatory opened on 6 October 2007. The building has two entirely automatic astronomical domes, one 3 m in diameter and the other 5 m in diameter. An additional observation pavilion modelled after pavilions from the inter-war period was built in 2010. The current operations of the Observatory focus around three different areas: science, didactics and dissemination. Regular lectures, presentations for schools and individual tourists take place in the observatory. Thanks to the implementation of the ‘Carpathian Sky’ project, the Observatory bought unique astronomical telescopes for solar observations (including solar flares) and night sky observations. Solar observations take place during the day each Saturday and Sunday from March to November and, additionally, on Thursdays and Fridays during the summer holidays. Night sky shows are held in the spring and autumn to discuss the formation and evolution of galaxies, the life of stars and the history of constellations. We also arrange observations of extraordinary events in the sky (eclipses, transits, meteor showers, and so forth).
