Each spring, near the date of Svein Rosseland's birthday, the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics invites everyone to a guest lecture by an internationally renowned astrophysicist as a remembrance for our great astrophysicist Svein Rosseland (1894-1985), founder of our institute.
"As a student of astronomy, we get to explore and quantify the Universe using physics, and thus explore and unravel some of its mysterious nature" – Thorstein Skaug.
"What fascinates me most about astronomy are the physics and phenomena that are far away from what we experience in our day-to-day lives" – Edvarda Harnes.

"Just thinking of sizes and distances in space is just mind blowing and impossible to grasp, but also what makes astronomy so very interesting" – Jonas Thoen Faber.
"That light carries information over extreme distances and explains faraway events! That's what fascinates me about astronomy" – Elias Roland Udnæs.
– The night sky is so much prettier once you start to understand the physics behind the light reaching us from distant objects.
– What fascinates me the most about astronomy must be the whole composition of it.

- The most fascinating thing about astronomy is that us humans, not living in any special location in the Universe, have figured out the way to learn about its vastness and evolution.
– What could be more exciting than to uncover the very nature of reality by studying the contents of the Universe! There is no other field of science that researches a thing as fundamental as the very Universe itself!
"The favourite part of my job is the collection, reduction and analysis of observational data. I particularly enjoy the process of “cleaning” and exploring the data to reveal their hidden information."
