Sthanapati: Did you ever set up an Astronomical Observatory in the planetarium? Subramanian: Till now we are not having an observatory as such. Some 20 years ago‚ I had moved for procurement of Celetron C14 telescope‚ which is manufactured in USA. I wrote several times to them‚ on some excuse or the other‚ they were not giving me the quotation. Then I wrote to some German firm‚ who immediately responded. That is how I imported it‚ though American equipment from Germany. It has got several attachments

Anders Celsius was born in Uppsala to Nils Celsius who was a professor in astronomy. His two grandfathers were also professors’‚ one taught mathematics and the other was and astronomer. In 1732 he began his grand tour and visited almost all of the notable European observatories of the day‚ where he worked with many of the leading 18th century astronomers. Celsius went on an expedition with the French astronomer Maupertuis. The expedition was to measure the length of a degree along a meridian

It was there where Copernicus became more interested in astronomy. Although his models weren’t completely correct it did formed a good strong foundation for future scientist to build and improve. Thanks to him we don’t believe in a Geocentric universe anymore. We know now that the earths rotation is accounted

Although most European universities and academies of science excluded women entirely‚ in Italy a few women held professorships in science and mathematics. Women translated scieitific works on physics‚ astronomy‚ entomology‚ and anatomy; they also participated in scientific discussions held in salons. | Document 1

NAOC complemented my knowledge of Technologies and Methods in Radio Astronomy which I supposed to be necessary professional skills. With the introduction

There is a lot of competition for permanent spots on the job and education opportunities and or research at colleges and universities‚ so one has to be the best in the field in order to be successful (“Academics”). The competition in astronomy careers could make it difficult to make a living and technology could become a problem if new advancements are continued. I would rather risk becoming sick or injured and have a job in veterinary medicine than have no job at all because of competition

Born in 1738‚ Fredrick William Herschel‚ as a young adult‚ he was interested in music and moved to England to excel at the oboe. During his lifetime‚ he composed 26 symphonies as well as several other shorter works. An introduction to astronomy and mathematics by his father turned out to be his new passion. A fascination with telescopes peaked his interest and‚ in 1774‚ he constructed his first large telescope. He would spend multiple hours a day polishing and grinding the mirrors used in the

The first known practical telescopes were invented in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 17th century‚ using glass lenses. They found use in terrestrial applications and astronomy. Within a few decades‚ the reflecting telescope was invented‚ which used mirrors. In the 20th century many new types of telescopes were invented‚ including radio telescopes in the 1930s and
