The Lowndean chair of Astronomy and Geometry is one of the two major Professorships in Astronomy (alongside the Plumian Professorship) and a major Professorship in Mathematics at Cambridge University. It was founded in 1749 by Thomas Lowndes, an astronomer from in Cheshire. The original bequest stated that the holder must give two courses of twenty lectures each year, one in astronomy, and the other in geometry, and spend at least six weeks making astronomical observations.

has abstract	The Lowndean chair of Astronomy and Geometry is one of the two major Professorships in Astronomy (alongside the Plumian Professorship) and a major Professorship in Mathematics at Cambridge University. It was founded in 1749 by Thomas Lowndes, an astronomer from in Cheshire. The original bequest stated that the holder must give two courses of twenty lectures each year, one in astronomy, and the other in geometry, and spend at least six weeks making astronomical observations. Originally the holder was elected by a committee consisting of the Lord Chancellor, the Lord President of the Privy Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the Lord Steward of the Household, and the Lord High Treasurer of the First Lord of the Treasury. By the 20th century, the electors had changed to comprise the most senior scientists in the United Kingdom: the President of the Royal Society, the President of the Royal Astronomical Society, the Astronomer Royal, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, and the Lucasian, Sadleirian, and Plumian Professors. Notwithstanding the title, a professor can be chosen who specializes solely or chiefly in only one, rather than both, of the subjects of astronomy and geometry.

Em seu legado original estabelecia que o titular deveria ministrar dois cursos de vinte aulas a cada ano, um em astronomia e o outro em geometria, e passar pelo menos seis semanas fazendo observações astronômicas. O riginalmente o titular era eleito por um comitê consistindo do Lord Chancellor, do , do , do e do Lord High Treasurer do . No século XX os eleitores mudaram, compreendendo a maioria dos cientistas sênior do Reino Unido: * Presidente da Royal Society * Presidente da Royal Astronomical Society * Astrônomo Real Britânico * Vice-reitor da Universidade de Cambridge * Professor lucasiano * * . Não obstante o título, um professor pode ser escolhido mesmo se for especialista somente em uma das duas áreas de conhecimento da cátedra, astronomia e geometria (pt)
