A History of the Department of Astronomy
Abstract
The head of the observatory at Nagyszombat, founded in in 1755, already had the privileges of a full professor, so the foundation of the observatory can be regarded as the beginning of the Chair of Astronomy. Both the university and its department of astronomy have been moved and renamed on several occasions. Nevertheless, the institutional continuity can be traced down to the contemporary Department of Astronomy of Eötvös University.
