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 the near-Earth environment to the earliest stars in distant galaxies. We are using state-of-the-art equipment for observations and data collection, as well as pioneering new theories and techniques. Explore the links below to learn more about our diverse research areas.
