#Introduction 🇬🇧

The #Marseille #Astrophysics Laboratory is one of the largest astrophysical laboratories in #france . Our #research teams study the #universe and its evolution in all its themes (solar system, #exoplanets, #stars, #galaxies and #cosmology). The #LAM also has the means to participate in the development and construction of #instrumentation for very large terrestrial #observatories and for #space observation missions.
