The home page of the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics includes links to many astronomical web sites, which are rich sources of information about current research in astronomy. Many spectacular images of celestial objects are to be found at those sites. A link to the home page of the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics is provided at the bottom of each of these pages.
