Capturing the Cosmos: Exploring the art and science of astrophotography
On March 16, 2026, the Department of Astrophysics and UZH Space hosted a special public astrophotography event celebrating the beauty of the cosmos.
Guests enjoyed a gallery-style exhibition of stunning images captured by members of the department, alongside an apéro and engaging presentations highlighting the creative process, technical challenges, and the stories behind the images and telescopes.
The images are displayed throughout the institute’s hallways and remain accessible for visitors to view.
