About Lovö Magnetic Observatory
This is a magnetic observatory rather than an optical one, meaning it records data about Earth's magnetic field rather than being set up for viewing stars. Having operated since 1928, it represents nearly a century of continuous geomagnetic monitoring.
Location & getting there
The observatory is located in Sweden, in the Europe region.

Because Lovö is a magnetic rather than optical facility, it isn't set up for stargazing visits. If you'd like to actually view a named star through a telescope, browse the observatories directory for a public observatory near you, or name a star to get its exact coordinates first.
Opening hours and public-visit programs vary by season. Check Google Maps for current times before you travel.
