Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées

The Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées, usually shortened to OMP, is a French Observatoire des Sciences de l'Univers based in Toulouse, with its address on avenue Edouard Belin. It is an observatory in the French university sense: a body that federates the laboratories of the Midi-Pyrénées region working on the universe, the planet and the environment, rather than a single telescope site. It also functions as a school within the Université de Toulouse and sits at the core of the university's Univers, Planète, Espace, Environnement research pole. Its stated missions are research, observation, teaching, public science outreach and international cooperation, and it describes its field as reaching from the centre of the Earth to the edge of the Universe. For the space atlas it matters as a Toulouse research institution that links astronomy, planetary science and Earth observation work.
