Astronomy and Space Physics

At Uppsala University, we study the universe at all scales, far and close-by: galaxies far away and our own Milky Way, distant stars and their exoplanets but also our Sun and its planets including Earth, and fundamental processes happening at atomic scale in planetary or stellar atmospheres.

At the division of Astronomy and Space Physics we are doing research across a range of fields, from space in Earth's direct vicinity to the first stars in the universe found in distant galaxies. We are using state-of-the-art equipment for observations and data gathering, as well as developing new theories and techniques. Below you can find links to the different research fields where you can read more. Image: ESO
