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.

Fall 2025 stargazing events

Stargazing events are on hold due to technical reasons and a lack of human resources. We apologize to all the people who have shown interest in visiting us this fall. We will inform you as soon as we can restart our outreach activities.
