Stargazing

The telescopes at Lund Observatory are primarily used for university education, but every now and then we take them out and invite the public to come and take a closer look at the night sky.  These observing events are organized by volunteers and are free of charge.

If you are interested in attending a stargazing event we strongly recommend that you join our 2025 mailing list.  Some outreach events may be advertised more broadly but some events will only be available to those who have joined the mailing list.
