The Diminion Raido Astrophysical Obervatory is located in Penticton, B.C by White Lake. It is the largest radio astronomy observatory in Canada. Carlyle Smith Beals was the creator of this, she wanted to expand the field of astrogoly in Canada.
This observatory has three instruments. Fristly, there is the Synthesis telescope. The Synthesis telescope is used for the study of hydrogen. Hydrogen is very important and studying it can help astronomers find out about the structure of our galaxy. Secondly, there is the Solar-flux monitor. Lastly, there is a 26-meter telescope. This site also supports engineering labortories. There is also a raido telescope. From 1995 to 2005, the raido telescope was used to map out a large part of the Milky Way.
Today, the observatory is still running well. It is under the responsibility of the National Research Council and still continues to do its job 24 hours a day.
