Royal Observatory Edinburgh

	Map		Reviews

The Royal Observatory, Edinburgh is unique among UK scientific establishments in that it houses on a single site a university astronomy research group, an establishment of a UK Research Council and a Visitor Centre.

The Royal Observatory Edinburgh Visitor Centre is a window into the world of one of Scotland's leading centres of science and technology. We have the (second!) biggest telescope in Scotland. Our scientists are investigating the origins of the Universe and the birth of stars. They are searching for new solar systems like our own and for asteroids and comets that pass nearby! Our technologists are building some of the best instruments in the world to aid our astronomers - and scientists around the world - in their studies.
