Submission declined on 29 June 2023 by Urban Versis 32 (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Urban Versis 32 10 months ago.

• Comment: The only source that meets the WP:GNG standard for notability is (possibly) the Prishtina Insight one, and it alone isn't enough. DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:06, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

PRISHTINA OBSERVATORY (1977)

Observatori i Prishtinës in Albanian or Prishtina Observatory in English is a part of the Palace of Youth and Sports building complex and was built in dedication to discovery, scientific research and educational practice. It opened its doors at the end of the 1970s by a group known at that time as KOSOVO YOUNG RESERCHERS for passionate youngsters and scientific researchers, part of a cultural shift that brought new opportunities to people, including the scientific community of Kosovo. Its dome-shaped cupola gave the citizens of Prishtina a view of the stars, planets, meteorites and more.

The Observatory was not in use for decades, but the space has now been reclaimed by the Astronomy Club of Kosovo. Since 2014, the club has worked to revitalise and equip the building with telescopes, ready for it to reopen once again for stargazing.

The Observatory was re-opened on July 13, 2023 with the UN -UNMIK support and Pristina Municipality, after 43-year gap. The Observatory opened its doors just a few days after NASA revealed the first five full-colour images and spectrographic data from the James Webb Space Telescope.
