Abstract:

Abstract This contribution aims to examine the scientific relationship between Giuseppe Toaldo and Jérôme Lalande, focusing on two works by the French astronomer which Toaldo translated into Italian. The first text is the Abregé d’ Astronomie (Compendio d’Astronomia, Padova: Stamperia del Seminario, 1777), addressed to students of astronomy; the second one is the Astronomie des Dames (Astronomia delle Dame, [Venezia]: Giacomo Storti, 1796), written for a female public to which Toaldo interestingly added the appendix Astronomia de’ Gentiluomini (Venezia, 1797). These works clearly testify Toald

Abstract:

Astronomia jest nauką niezależną od wiary, natomiast astrologia jest ściśle powiązana z wierzeniami religijnymi. Astronomia obserwuje kosmos, aby tworzyć teorie, astrologia ma wydźwięk praktyczny, jest sztuką panowania nad kosmosem, ma powiązanie z magią. Na ogół słowa mające w końcówce -logia (np. filologia, teologia) mają charakter bardziej teoretyczny, natomiast nazwy dziedzin bardziej praktycznych mają w końcówce -nomia (np. gastronomia). Tymczasem tutaj mamy sytuację odwrotną. Artykuł niniejszy zajmuje się kwestiami językowymi oraz tłem historycznym jedynie po to, aby odróżnić te dwie dzi

Abstract:

It is not possible to sketch the history of astronomy by amateurs without first defining what the term “amateur astronomer” truly means. But we must avoid using “the benefit of hind-sight” to interpret the past in terms of a concept, the relevance of which has been perceived only during the course of the last one hundred years. In order to avoid the sophistry arising from such a purely imaginary history that is based on false conceptions, it is useful to examine amateur astronomy’s precise status, since its emergence in the dawn of classical science, by outlining the type of relationship that

Amateur astronomy in Poland has its own history dating from the 17th century to the present day. Before the 17th century, the term “amateur astronomer” loses its meaning. Otherwise we might pose the rather paradoxical question: “Was Copernicus an amateur?” and probably have to give the answer: “Yes, he was an amateur, being first a priest, a physician and a lawyer.” Let us leave him in peace and instead turn to more undoubted amateurs. The history can be divided into two general periods: before and after the creation of the Polish Amateur Astronomical Society, PA AS (Polskie Towarzystwo Milosn

Abstract:

Let us begin by defining “amateur astronomer”. According to a dictionary, an amateur astronomer is “someone who loves astronomy, and cultivates it as a hobby”. At IAU colloquium 98 (The Contributions of Amateurs to Astronomy), Williams (1988) discussed this issue at length. He proposed that, to be an amateur astronomer, one must be an astronomer - able to do astronomy with some degree of skill; he then defined an amateur astronomer as “someone who carries out astronomy with a high degree of skill, but not for pay”.

Astronomy has developed in India since prehistoric times. However, astronomy’s first work appeared during the Vedanga Jyotisa era, written by Lagadha, the oldest literary book in India. Using qualitative methods with a library research approach, it was found that Indian astronomers researched Astronomy and wrote books. One of the books that first made Muslim scientists interested in the world of astronomy was the book Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta, which was translated into Arabic by Al-Fazari (d. 796 AD) during the Caliphate of Al-Manṣūr from the Abbasid dynasty.

Graduate and undergraduate programs must be improved to prepare future Mexican and Latin American astronomers to take advantage of these facilities. To meet the challenge, two traditional Mexican programs (Instituto de Astronomia-UNAM and Instituto Nacional de Astrofisica, Optica y Electronica-INAOE) are updating

AbstractAs an ancient and multidisciplinary field, astronomy is an ambassador for all sciences. Astronomy's broad appeal, whether from its cultural interest of our place in the universe, or its practical aims such as sea- or space navigation, is well recorded in history from ancient to modern times, and sky-awareness, more generally, began prehistorically. Astronomy's perceived role and purpose has continually developed over the ages. In all, astronomy is not to be viewed as a narrow subject operating in isolation but one that has contributed comprehensively to the advancement of society.

Galileo's work showed that a coherent understanding was more important for scientific progress than specific proofs. The efforts of both astronomers undermined the traditional geocentric cosmology and essentially brought about the birth of modern astronomy.

Information and Communication Technolgy (ICT) could been involved to the learning process. ICT-based learning tools that used to help teachers and parents are developed in this research. Astronomy is one of the fields of science which is generally taught in schools as a part of natural science subject. In this study, authors developed an astronomy learning application’s named Belajar Astronomi that comes as a supple

Abstract:

This paper deals with one of the first attempts to measure simple reactions in humans. The Swiss astronomer Adolph Hirsch investigated personal differences in the speed of sensory transmission in order to achieve accuracy in astronomy. His controversial results, however, started an intense debate among both physiologists and astronomers who disagreed on the nature of these differences. Were they due to different eyes or brains, or to differences in skill and education? Furthermore, they debated how to eliminate them. Some, for example, wanted to eliminate the observer, and prescribed the use o

Abstrak: Persoalan tentang fajar merupakan pembahasan klasik yang penting dalam penentuan waktu ibadah, khususnya salat subuh dan puasa. Artikel ini mengkaji koherensi antara dalil naqli (al-Qur'an dan hadis), pendapat imam mazhab, dan temuan astronomi modern dalam memaknai fajar. Melalui kajian tekstual dan observasi ilmiah, ditemukan bahwa fajar shadiq ditandai dengan cahaya putih horizontal di ufuk timur, sedangkan fajar kadzib adalah cahaya vertikal yang menjulang ke langit. Imam empat mazhab sepakat terhadap karakteristik dasar fajar shadiq, meskipun variasi kecil terkait warna dan sifat

Abstract:

Lately, the study of astronomy in Islamic boarding schools has been less attractive. One factor is the lack of media or instruments to support astronomy learning, one of which is at the Al-Firdaus YPMI Islamic Boarding School. This service aims to integrate theory and practice in astronomy through al-Murobba' media. This study uses the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) method, which is to develop astronomical scientific assets that are owned by the Al-Firdaus YPMI Islamic Boarding School. Service results show that integrating theory and practice in learning astronomy using al-Murabba' c

Abstract:

Astro Homus is a project that focuses on individuals behind astronomy research. It aims to present scientists not as lone wolves with almost superhuman skills, as is so common in the current media, but as people who the reader can relate to as human beings. Using the language of photography and the personal stories of scientists, Astro Homus reveals the human dimension of astronomy. Through the project’s journey across three countries, addressing questions ranging from the biggest unknowns to the most personal matters, the public is presented with a glimpse of what it is like to be an as

Abstract:

The outreach programme Semanas da Astronomia (Astronomy Weeks) is held in late spring or summer on the island of Madeira, Portugal. This programme has been attracting enough interest to be mentioned in the regional press/TV/radio every year and is now, without doubt, the astronomical highlight of the year on Madeira. We believe that this programme is a good case study for showing how to attract the general public to astronomy in a small (population 250 000, area 900 km2) and fairly isolated place such as Madeira. Our Astronomy Weeks have been different each year and have so far included exhibi

RESUMO: Apesar de sua popularidade, durante o século XVII, a legitimidade da astrologia estava sendo intensamente debatida na Inglaterra. Nos séculos XVI e XVII novas descobertas e idéias modificaram a astronomia. É tentador, assim, pensar numa ligação causal estreita entre esses processos, isto é, o declínio da respeitabilidade intelectual da astrologia e mudanças na astronomia. Parte dos raros trabalhos historiográficos sobre a astrologia caiu nessa tentação, sem analisar como as pessoas na época viven
