A historic moment: for the first time in its 200 years of existence, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences has elected a woman astronomer as one of its members.
László L. Kiss, physicist, astronomer and Director General of the CSFK won the 2023 Prima Primissima Award in the Hungarian Science category. Congratulations!
ESA's Gaia mission released a goldmine of knowledge about our galaxy and beyond, with the active involvement of eight researchers from the Observatory.
The success of the observatory's research assistant program is reflected in the 12 awards in the Physics section of the OTDK, several of which were won by Bachelor students. The Science Faculty of ELTE also awarded prizes to our students.
New results from HUN-REN CSFK researchers and their US colleagues suggest that the six-year light variations of Betelgeuse may be caused by a previously unknown companion star.
