▲'''The Institute of Astronomy''' of the [[Bulgarian Academy of Sciences]] is a leading [[Bulgaria]]n [[research]] facility in the field of [[astronomy]] and [[astrophysics]], located in [[Sofia]],
The institute co-operates closely with the other two institutions involved in the same field of research in the country - the Department of Astronomy at the Faculty of Physics of [[Sofia University]] and the Astronomical centre at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of [[Shumen University]].
It owns and operates the Bulgarian National [[Rozhen Observatory]] located at an altitude of 1750 m in the [[Rhodope Mountains|Rhodopi]] mountains in south Bulgaria, as well as the [[Belogradchik Observatory]] situated at 650 m at the foot of the [[Balkan Mountains|Western Balkan Mountains]] in north-west Bulgaria.
The institute was inaugurated in 1958, as an independent section of the larger Institute of Physics of [[Bulgarian Academy of Sciences|BAS]] by academician Nikola Bonev. In 1995, it becomes a separate institute. ▼
▲The institute was inaugurated in 1958
Following a reorganisation in the structure of its departments in 2010, researchers at the institute were divided into three [http://www.astro.bas.bg/departments.php departments]: "Sun and Solar System" (head: Dr. K. Kozarev), "Stars and stellar systems" (head: Dr. I. Stateva), "Galaxies" (head: Dr. B. Mihov). They replaced the previous division into seven sectors: "Sun", "Solar system", "Non-stationary stars", "Stellar atmospheres and envelopes", "Chemically peculiar stars", "Stellar clusters" and "Galaxies".
