What an amazing time we had today at KB100! Thank you to everyone who joined, supported, and brought great energy to the event.

Today, we learned so much together — from smartphone and camera astrophotography equipment, to settings, techniques, safety precautions, and even an introduction to telescopes. It was truly inspiring to see everyone so engaged and excited to explore the night sky. 🌌📸✨

Swipe to relive the best moments 👉📸
Thank you for being part of this meaningful session — see you again at our next event! 🙌🔥

Good day fellow utarian 👋 For the coming sembreak, there will be a talk about astronomy 🌌🔭 The talk will only available in Chinese language, so for those who know Chinese is advanced to join. Details are as below👇

拉曼大学李光前理工学院与拉曼大学IET学生分会, 拉曼大学人工智能与计算应用中心(CAICA), 拉曼大学天文俱乐部将举办一场讲座。详情如下：

题目：身边的天文学 ◊ 天文大数据与全民科学
主讲人：崔辰州教授(中国科学院国家天文台研究员), 樊东卫博士(中国科学院国家天文台副研究员)
主持人：姚国霖教授 (拉曼大学人工智能与计算应用中心(CAICA)主席)
日期：2023年5月29日 (星期一)
时间：下午2时至4时
地点：KB208, 拉曼大学双溪龙校区
主办单位：拉曼大学李光前理工学院
协办单位：拉曼大学IET学生分会, 拉曼大学人工智能与计算应用中心(CAICA), 拉曼大学天文俱乐部将举办一场讲座

演讲简介：
天文大数据与全民科学
天文学正在信息与计算技术等新兴科技的驱动下发生着根本性的变革。地基和空基的望远镜等观测设施的工作波段已经覆盖了整个电磁波谱以及多个非电磁窗口。天文数据正在以前所未有的速度从数据量、增长量和复杂性等各方面快速发展。海量而复杂的图像、光谱、星表、时序等数据就像一个深邃的数字宇宙，为天文学家提供了广阔的挖掘空间。天文学成为一门数据驱动的科学。可快速采样跟踪天体物理过程随时间变化的时域天文学以及综合电磁波和非电磁波探测手段的多信使天文学成为热点。本报告将介绍信息时代天文学最新的发展趋势、热门研究方向和代表性成果以及面临的技术挑战，介绍虚拟天文台和天文信息学的基本知识，分享天文数据在科普教育特别是全民科学方面的应用成果。

身边的天文学
摘要：在历史的长河中，人类仰望星空，实现了在广阔的海洋中航行，掌握了何时种植作物，探寻我们从何处来，将向何处去。天文学是一个开阔我们眼界的学科，一个理清我们在宇宙中位置的学科，一个可以改变我们对世界看法的学科。绝大多数人看来，天文学是高高在上，虚无缥缈的。其实，自古以来天文学就与我们的生活和社会发展息息相关。千百年来天文学一直是科学和技术的前沿，驱动着科技创新和社会进步。本报告将通过Wifi、核磁等一系列的实例讲述天文学与人类生活和社会进步的密切关系，介绍大国重器郭守敬望远镜（LAMOST）和“中国天眼（FAST）”的技术创新，让人真切感受到原来天文学不仅是星辰大海，更是近在身边

✨身边的天文学

//在历史的长河中，人类仰望星空，实现了在广阔的海洋中航行，掌握了何时种植作物，探寻我们从何处来，将向何处去。天文学是一个开阔我们眼界的学科，一个理清我们在宇宙中位置的学科，一个可以改变我们对世界看法的学科。绝大多数人看来，天文学是高高在上，虚无缥缈的。其实，自古以来天文学就与我们的生活和社会发展息息相关。千百年来天文学一直是科学和技术的前沿，驱动着科技创新和社会进步。本报告将通过Wifi、核磁等一系列的实例讲述天文学与人类生活和社会进步的密切关系，介绍大国重器郭守敬望远镜（LAMOST）和“中国天眼（FAST）”的技术创新，让人真切感受到原来天文学不仅是星辰大海，更是近在身边。//

#️⃣The registration fee includes lunch and tea breaks, but does not cover the conference dinner. Note also that a small fee will be charged by USAINS when payment is made.

📝Contributed talks and posters on all aspects of astronomy research are welcome, including on planetary sciences, solar physics, space weather, Galactic and extragalactic astronomy, cosmology, astrobiology, astrochemistry, astronomical instrumentation, cultural and ethnoastronomy, and astronomy education. In particular, we strongly encourage more postgrad students to submit a presentation on your astronomy-related research 👍

‼️ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ON VENUE CHANGE ‼️

Due to delays in ongoing major renovation works, the National Planetarium is no longer able to host our event in January. Therefore, we will be switching our event venue to the National Science Center (Pusat Sains Negara, PSN) at Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur, with PSN and the National Planetarium both acting as co-hosts. We apologize for any inconvenience caused, and hope that you can make the necessary adjustments in your travel arrangements 🙇 The National Science Center is about a 20 minute (~10km) journey by car/taxi from KL Sentral and the National Planetarium, so staying around that area is still viable. You can find further details on the venue and travel/accommodation information on our website here 🙏
