Editor's Notes
- Good morning all speakers, staffs, those who are interested in the forum, and those who are forced to be here. Today, I am going to talk about Astronomy Outreach at Science Center for Education..
- First, I’d like to talk about ้ีhuman studying stars, its limitations in the real sky, and the invention of astronomy teaching materials to overcome such limitations. Then I’ll move to the 1st star projector/planetarium, an advanced astronomy teaching material. And the first planetarium in Thailand, Bangkok Planetarium. I’ll talk about activities here. The future of Bangkok Planetarium. 5 to 10 mins for questions.
- Observing stars in the real sky is the matter of time. For example, it’s Febuary now and we cannot see Aquarius because it is behind the sun. We need to wait for the right time to observe a specific constellations, stars or planets.
- ฺBeing awake for an observation late at night or all night long could ruin your biological clock. Night time should be our sleeping time. Well, no one complain about that when we go to a pub.
- Observing stars in the real sky is weather permitted. Light pollution, cloud, rain could be problems for us to observe the stars. Can anyone notice the constellation here in the picture?
- So to walk across the limitations, human has been inventing astronomy teaching materials. Here, constellations have been drawn outside a globe to show the positions of constellations in the real sky. However, this is not realistic because we should be inside the globe not outside.
- At around B.C.250, Archimedes invented a globe that could explain the motions of the Sun, the Moon and the five planets. Later, Ptolemy invented a globe that could explain equinoxes, which is the time when day and night are equal.
- Looking at the stars from outside the globe is not realistic, so we made bigger globe for us to be inside. The globe has holes align like stars in the real sky. Not many holes though.
- The last globe/sphere built
- Orbitoscope is the first star projection system. There is a light on Earth projecting the shadow of Mars to the screen to explain Mars’ retrograde motion.
- The real first star projector was built in Germany. Max Wolf is an astronomer at Deutsches Museum. He proposed his ideas about a star projector to Oskar von Miller, who is the founder of Deutsches Museum at that time in 1913. Miller liked Wolf’s idea, so he talked to Walther Beuersfeld, a Carl Zeiss Engineer. Beuersfeld spent 5 years to talk with his team and design the 1st star projector. It took totally 10 years for the first star projector to be open to the public.
- This is Carl Zeiss Factory in Jena, Germany. The Beuersfeld’s team consisted of scienctists, engineer, and craftsmen. The team had to design a mechanism that could show stars, planets and their motions.
- And at last, we have the first star projector. It could project 4500 stars.
- This is a testing dome on the top roof of Carl Zeiss Factory.
- Mark one trip: Carl Zeiss Factory > Deutsches Museum > Max Planck Institute> Conclude why the world needs planetariums. People were amazed about the star projector and the planetarium. So, it’s spreading really quick throughout Europe, then to the US...and yes...to Thailand.
- About 20 years after WW2, theatres...stores are quickly increasing, but not education center. So, the the ministry of education started Bangkok Planetarium Project in 1961 to be a place for people to study astronomy. B.Grimm and Co. was Carl Zeiss’s authorized agent in Thailand. [talk about the desing and budget].
- Finally, we officially opened on August 18th, 1964. [Explain that the King and the Queen were here and there was no high buildings in this area at that time]
- ์Now Bangkok Planetarium is a part of Science Center. [Explain what other buildings are]
- Star projector in Bangkok Planetarium. Carl Zeiss Mark 4…. [Explain about the seats...the number, the style].
- Bangkok Planetarium has serviced 60,000 star shows. We have shows every day except on Mondays. There are 4 rounds a day at [times]. Now, a show is in two parts, the first part is star gazing and the second part is full dome movies.
- Another common activity at Bangkok Planetarium. Observing celestial objects using telescopes. We also have other activities e.g. making star map, sun dial clock, 100 years calendar... etc.
- There are many camps in a year. It is normally held by a department in Science Center e.g. Sci and Tech, Natural Sci, Sport Sci, designing department...and Bangkok Planetarium always. Name all the camps...We normally work together...give and example of summer camp.
- Young astronomer 2014, the content is solely about astronomy. They are studying parts of telescopes.
- We resume Astronomy Quiz last year after abandoning it for a decade….
- Digital star projector is coming...It’s digistar.
