🔭 Lund Observatory

Lund Observatory was the official English name for the astronomy department at Lund University, and is currently used as a network of researchers within astronomy and space related research areas, administered by the Department of Physics. Between 1867-2001 "Lund Observatory" was also the name of the Observatory building, which is now referred to as the "Lund Old Observatory". Lund Observatory was part of the Department of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics at Lund University until 2023, when that department merged with Department of Physics. Today astronomical research is carried out in several departments and there is also an active research area in Philosophy and related areas that contributes to the astronomical landscape at Lund University.
