The Paris Observatory - PSL in solidarity with Ukraine

28 February 2022

The Paris Observatory - PSL strongly condemns the Russian military attack in Ukraine on February 24, 2022 which brought war to the heart of Europe, and wishes to express its total solidarity with the Ukrainian population.

Our thoughts go to the students of the Observatoire de Paris - PSL from Ukraine.

We also think of our colleagues researchers and academics in Ukraine, and in particular of the radioastronomers of the Institute of Radioastronomy of Kharkov, with whom we have been collaborating closely for almost thirty years, and who took part in the definition of the NenuFAR radio telescope on the site of Nançay and contribute to the exploitation of its observations.
