Scientific paper

The "Big Ears" of the Medicina Radio Observatory are a great attraction for visitors. The Observatory is located near the town of Medicina, at about 35 km from Bologna, Italy, and it is operated by the Istituto di Radioastronomia, a part of the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF). Weekly guided tours have been organized for high school students and the general public since 1983. A typical tour starts with an introduction to radio astronomy, followed by a visit to the observing facilities, the 32-m dish and the 30,000 m2 "Northern Cross". There are about 5,000 visitors per year.
