SpaCe – Aarhus Space Centre
Aarhus University Interdisciplinary Centre for Space and Earth Observations
"SpaCe - Aarhus Space Centre is organised within six thematic themes, each led by theme leads. The six themes are: Life in Space, Earth Observation, Education and Learning, Innovation Hub, Space and Humanities, and Space Exploration."
Working groups have a specific focus and area of interest, and relate to one or more of the five themes. If you want to know more about the activities in one or more of the working groups, feel free to reach out to the work group chairs.
SpaCe supports a broad variety of projects - projects that run over a longer og shorter periode of time
Researchers from Aarhus University have published the first detailed microanalytical study of the Dueodde meteorite – Denmark’s 8th known meteorite. The findings provide new insight into material and processes dating back to the early history of the Solar System.
A new book, "The Kepler and TESS Asteroseismic Consortia – A Historical Overview," tells the story of how KASC and TASC grew from an idea into the collaborative communities that helped drive forward asteroseismology using data from Kepler and TESS. The book is devised and edited by SpaCe's Mikkel N. Lund and Tiago Campante (CAUP).
On Wednesday 12 August, a partial solar eclipse will be visible from Denmark, weather permitting. Find out when and how to observe the eclipse safely – and what makes a total solar eclipse an entirely different experience.
High in the Chilean Andes, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has officially started the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST): a ten-year, night-after-night filming of the southern sky. Through a national in-kind contribution, a Danish data centre led from the Niels Bohr Institute, researchers from across Danish institutions can get direct access to one of the most ambitious scientific datasets ever assembled
A Danish space delegation recently travelled to Daejeon, South Korea, to strengthen collaboration across the Korean space ecosystem. Karsten Bubber, steering committee member of Aarhus Space Centre (SpaCe), represented SpaCe during the delegation visit.
How big is the Universe? How do we know it’s expanding? And how much do we actually understand about the cosmos?
Join us at the Astronomy on Tap August event, where Thomas Tram, Associate Professor in Theoretical Cosmology at Aarhus University, will take us on a journey through cosmic questions, mysteries, and maybe even a few answers.
Join the Danish space ecosystem and international stakeholders from across the global space industry for an informal networking evening at Green Island in Copenhagen, ahead of ESA’s Space for Inspiration 2026 conference on commercial space exploration.
Space for Inspiration 2026 comes to Copenhagen on 1–2 September, bringing together Europe’s space ecosystem to explore the future of commercial space.
When art, light and astronomy meet
When Aarhus turns off the lights, the universe comes into view. As part of Aarhus Festival 2026, SpaCe – Aarhus Space Centre, Ole Rømer Observatory and the Remote Teaching Telescope, FUT, invite you to Seeing Stars: an evening of astronomy, telescopes and shared wonder in the heart of the city.
Join us, as Dale Kedwards, Assistant Professor in Old Norse-Icelandic, Fellow of King's College, University of Cambridge explores the attraction and symbolism of Old Norse mythology in Space science
