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.
