According student’s ability
For primary school students, We often teach astronomy
course at school or in our observatory.
Focus is to inspire them to think, to observe, and to do.

傅科在大厅的穹顶上悬挂了一条67米长的绳索，绳索的下面是一个重达28千克的摆
锤，摆锤的下方是巨大的沙盘。每当摆锤经过沙盘上方的时候，摆锤上的指针就会
在沙盘上面留下运动的轨迹。按照人们的想象，这个硕大无朋的摆应该在沙盘上面
画出一条不变的轨迹，然而人们惊奇地发现，傅科摆每摆动一次，在沙盘上画出的
轨迹都会偏离原来的轨迹。现场观看的人们不禁惊呼：“地球真的是在转动啊！”
傅科摆-地球自转的验证
---最美十大物理实验之一Foucault pendulum
Earth rotation, who saw or felt? why do you believe? who did what experiment?
Many students do not have thought about this problems.

月相变化的因素：
1）太阳照射方向，所以月
亮圆边总是朝向太阳；
2）地球观测方向与日照
方向相反---新月；
方向相同---满月；
方向垂直---上下弦。

上半月傍晚月相变化规律：
（农历初一至十五）
1）月亮由新月变成满月（一天天长胖）
2）月亮从西-南-东，一天天移动（在太阳后，日落后）
月亮到达天空同一位置的时间，一天天滞后
3）月亮（在天空）运行轨迹与太阳轨迹一致（东-南-西）
4）月亮圆的方向正对着太阳，缺的方向背向太阳
5）白天月亮也在同样轨道上运行，只是被阳光淹没看不

Measuring the sun's shadow, obtaining data of solar altitude,

One of our students,
Jinshan, 11 years old,
grade 5.
He measured the sun shadow in the summer solstice, winter solstice, vernal equinox and autumnal equinox, respectively.
Every time he improved the measurement tools and methods.
Finally, at the
summer solstice,
he, at first, marked
the shadow point
on the circular grid,
then measured the
shadow length, so
it improves the
measurement
accuracy.

22. 中国科学院国家天文台
Why? He has done a lot of research works
and got some results .
2014年指导北京崇文科技馆选送的
学生邢毓麟，论文获得北京市青少
年创新大赛一等奖，北京市中小学
生天文论文比赛一等奖。
Yulin, primary 12 years old, grade 6.
He looked the Hipparcos catalog and modern catalog of
bright stars and found an interesting things that the ninth
brightest star, achernar (αEri) was lost in Hipparcos
catalog.

1) Star Achernar (αEri) was not listed in the Hipparcos catalog, because it was too south (-
68 °) that may not be found in the Hipparchus era.
2) Because of precession reasons, Achernar (αEri) is now -57 °, can easily be found in
the modern.
3) He also checked the coordinates of 20 bright stars whether in the Hipparcos catalog
and brightness catalog, and draw a curve position of these stars in a sphere. This
clearly shows that the ancient pole position changed.

According student’s ability
For high school students, Our main job is to guide them to
do research and write papers.
Focus is to inspire them to think, to observe, and to have
experience of real research work.

he Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber
pectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST)
hong, Junior high, 15 years old, 9th grade
alyzed some LAMOST telescope data last
wrote scientific papers and won first prize in
g Middle School astronomical papers.

26. 中国科学院国家天文台
The main parameters of LOMOST
LOMOST is the latest China-made optical telescopes, is a reflection of the star ceremony Schmidt telescope.
Applications active optics technology to control the reflection correction plate, making it both have large field of large
diameter. Due to its diameter up to 4 meters, 1.5 hours during the exposure can be observed up to 20.5 magnitude
dark objects. And because it is the field of view of 5°, in the focal plane can be placed 4000 fibers.

北京35中学生，荣获第33届北京市青少年创
新大赛一等奖。2015年出国深造.
Dingyi, high school student, 17 years old, grade 11
He did study variable stars. He first made
observations with a telescope, and then use the
software to process data, obtained the star's
luminosity curve and so on. His thesis won the first
prize at the 33rd session of the Beijing Youth
Innovation Competition. Now he is studying in the
United States.

伟大的哲学家康德说：世界上有两种东西能够震撼人类的心灵，
一件是我们心中崇高的道德准则，一件是我们头顶上灿烂的群星。
一个民族有一些关注天空的人，他们才有希望；一个民族只是
关心 脚下的事情，那是没有未来的。
仰望星空
We continue to bring the students to do GLOBE at NIGHT

During observation, we also guide students to learn astrophotography
This is one of winning works
