In this paper, the semilinear Lane-Emden problem \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta u = |u|^{p-1}u & \text{in}\;B, \\ u=0 & \text{on}\;\partial B, \end{cases} \] is considered, where \(B\) is the unit ball of \({\mathbb R}^N\), \(N\geq2\) and \(1<p<p_S\) with \(p_S=\infty\) if \(N=2\) and \(p_S=(N+2)/(N-2)\) if \(N\geq3\). It is shown that, when \(N=2\), the Morse index of the least energy sign-changing radial solution is exactly \(12\) if \(p\) is sufficiently large. The first eigenvalue of a limit weighted problem in \({\mathbb R}^N\) is also computed explicitly in any dimension \(N\geq 2\).
