[2] The observatory features four telescopes:[3] Piszkéstető Station discovered 3 of the first 8 impactors which were observed and confirmed while still in orbit: 2022 EB5, 2023 CX1, and 2024 BX1.

Several asteroids impact earth every year with enough force to be detected by infrasound sensors designed to detect detonation of nuclear devices, but the vast majority of impacts are unpredicted and occur without warning.

[5] 2023 CX1 was discovered at the station on February 12, 2023 and impacted the Earth off the coast of Normandy, France.

2024 BX1 was discovered at the station a few hours before it entered the Earth's atmosphere near Berlin on January 21, 2024.

[6] The minor planet 37432 Piszkéstető was named after the station, where it was discovered by astronomers Krisztián Sárneczky and Zsuzsanna Heiner in January 2002.
