About us
The Royal Observatory of Belgium is an internationally renowned research institute with recognized expertise in the study of planet Earth and other nearby or remote objects in the Universe. Astronomy, astrophysics, planetology, geophysics, seismology, gravimetry, spatial geodesy and solar physics constitute the main research fields of the Observatory. As a public institute, the Royal Observatory of Belgium also provides services to the scientific community, to the public, to the government and to the whole society, where these services fall within the boundaries of its missions and are based on the results obtained by its researchers. Such services include time service, management of the Belgian seismic network, integration of the Belgian GNSS stations (Global Navigation Satellite Systems such as GPS and Galileo) in international reference systems, gravimetric measures, continuous monitoring of the solar activity, space weather forecasts and diffusion of information related to astronomical phenomena. The Royal Observatory of Belgium also manages the Planetarium at the Heysel site, a magical place! Visitors can admire starry skies reproduced in genuine form by projection onto the large dome (at a diameter of more than 23 meters, on the largest in Europe). The scientific disciplines that fall within the remit of the 3 Federal Scientific Institutes of the Space Pole are presented there by immersive audiovisual displays, outreach conferences and exhibitions. Together with 9 other Federal Scientific Institutes, the Royal Observatory of Belgium is part of the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO).

🌍 It's a wrap! A field campagne was performed in Greece by the Royal Observatory of Belgium, the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens and the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales. They joined forces to measure #earthquakes and ambient #seismic noise in the Paliki peninsula of the Ionian Island of Kefalonia (#Greece) to better understand the subsurface of this area. To our knowledge, it is the first time that such large-scale fieldwork has been performed on the Ionian Islands. 👁️🗨️More to this story: https://lnkd.in/dZUtNHSX 🌍 Het zit erop! Een veldcampagne werd uitgevoerd in Griekenland door de Koninklijke Sterrenwacht van België, de Nationale & Kapodistriaanse Universiteit van Athene en het Nationaal Museum voor Natuurwetenschappen van Spanje. Ze bundelden hun krachten om #aardbevingen en #seismisch ruis te meten op het schiereiland Paliki van het Ionische eiland Kefalonia (#Griekenland) om de ondergrond van dit gebied beter te begrijpen. Voor zover wij weten is het de eerste keer dat dergelijk grootschalig veldwerk is uitgevoerd op de Ionische eilanden. 👁️🗨️Meer over dit verhaal: https://lnkd.in/dii7YKdj 🌍 C'est terminé ! Une campagne de terrain a été menée en #Grèce par l'Observatoire royal de Belgique, l'Université nationale et kapodistrienne d'Athènes et le Musée national des sciences naturelles d’Espagne. Ils ont uni leurs forces pour mesurer les #tremblementsdeterre et le bruit #sismique ambiant dans la péninsule de Paliki, sur l'île ionienne de Céphalonie (Grèce) afin de mieux comprendre le sous-sol de cette région. À notre connaissance, c’est la première fois qu’un travail de terrain d’une telle ampleur est réalisé dans cette région. 👁️🗨️Pour en savoir plus : https://lnkd.in/dSWvFYEf
