Ecuador is located in a strategic geographical position on the planet.
The Quito Observatory, located in a strategic geographical position where solar-physics studies can be performed year-round, providing data for the scientific community working to understand Sun-Earth interactions. We invite leaders from other scientific projects to deploy their instruments in Quito and to join us in supporting our new strategic research center.

The Quito Astronomical Observatoryand was completely renovated and fully restored in 2009.
