    Welcome to the Department of Astronomy!

    The Department of Astronomy at Stockholm University, Stockholm Observatory, is the main institution in Stockholm for research and education within astronomy and astrophysics. We are located in AlbaNova University Center close to the main Stockholm University and Royal Institute of Technology campuses.

    About us

    Information about teaching Autumn 2020 and Spring 2021

    From 24 November 2020, the limit for the number of people at public gatherings will be lowered to 8. The Government has also made it clear that this limit should be seen as a guideline for other events. The department's assessment is therefore that as much teaching as possible should be moved online.
