The Universe belongs us all... or perhaps it belongs to no one. We who study the Universe are always happy to share stories and insight with the public. Here are some examples of what we do: Astronomers always give several talks at the annual NMT days. These talks are aimed at high school students and their teachers. Our seminars are open to all who wish to attend, but do require some basic unders

The Universe is in motion. We may not notice as we gaze upon the night sky, but on large timescales galaxies orbit one another and merge with one another. Astronomers simulate these processes in order to understand them better.

The first recorded observatory in Lund was built in 1672 by astronomy professor Anders Spole, the grandfather of Anders Celsius. Spole's observatory was destroyed in 1676 during the Battle of Lund. Lund Observatory was founded in 1749 with an observatory in the round tower in a University building in Lundagård, Kungshuset. The Observatory's first dedicated building was built in 1867, and is locat

This picture is taken in the lecture theatre of the old observatory in the fall of 1940 (the planetarium would be housed here from 1978-2000). This picture was published in Kvällsposten (local news paper) on March 6th, 1955 under the headline "Jättearbete med stjärnpanorama slutfört vid lundaobservatoriet".

Charlier gathered a large number of apprentices, such that one talked about "lundaskolan" within astronomy, referring to the statistical methods for analysing the structure of the Solar System used by Charlier and his apprentics.

ALVA is an astronomy club for students in Lund. The purpose of the club is to provide a place for science students and other people interested in astronomy to get inspiration and to experience how exciting the Universe can be. ALVA arranges astronomy-related activities such as public lectures, stargazing nights, planetarium shows and workshops. We aim to arrange events roughly once per month, usua

Galactic Crash Tests ALVA is arranging a talk by Dr. Florent Renaud about galactic collisions. The abstract of the talk is as follows: The most widely accepted theory of galaxy formation claims that a major aspect of the assembly of galaxies is the interaction and mergers with their neighbours. Such interactions are commonly observed as distorted galaxies which host violent bursts of star formatio

Lund Observatory has a long history of famous astronomers working on understanding the dynamics and the constituents of the Milky Way. Today we honour this legacy by actively pursuing questions at the cutting edge of astronomical research, namely the formation and evolution of galaxies, stars and exoplanets. The research here at the Division for Astrophysics is driven by the curiosity of individua
