| About Samarkand Scientific-Educational Observatory |
|
|
The opening ceremony of the educational astronomical observatory at the Samarkand State University coincided with the solar eclipse that took place on March 29, 2006. Astronomers of the Ulugh Beg Astronomical Institute of the UzAS presented a Grubb Parsons telescope with a mirror diameter of 48 cm as a gift to students of Samarkand University. This was the result of the joint work of the Ulugh Beg Astronomical Institute of the UzAS and Samarkand State University.
|
|
In addition to scientific projects, the Ulugh Beg Astronomical Institute also carries out general educational projects. The main task of the latter is to popularize astronomy, as well as to assist educational institutions with astronomical departments. Within the framework of these projects, it is planned to create a whole network of scientific and educational observatories on the basis of the universities of the republic.
|
|
The Samarkand Astronomical Observatory has become the first educational and scientific observatory based on university in Central Asia, where conduct practice of astronomical observations, course and Master degree theses of university students will be carried out. In addition, teachers and students of universities of the Republic, where training and participate in real astronomical observations on a professional astronomical instrument.
