I explored 6 different astronomy topics that I will discuss
in a serie of 6 posts here on Links Through Space. Follow us in our Astronomy trip through Cambodia and enjoy the posts and
pictures.
Before going to Cambodia,
I made some research on the Internet about contacts and activities surrounding
astronomy in Cambodia.
To my surprise, the search didn’t make fruit. I literally found nothing.
After many e-mails to Universities in Phnom Penh and other institutions, I finally
got a message from a teacher who knew someone into astronomy. I was excited to
finally have a contact on the academic side of the matter.
This was just the first part of the Astronomy trip to Cambodia. I had
in mind to do a couple of projects involving astronomy. Here are the projects I
have invested in.
1) Is there Astronomy in Cambodia?
2) Assessments of the night sky
seeing and light pollution in visited places in Cambodia.
3) Ancient Astronomy, Angkor Wat, City built with astronomical measurements to mimic the Gods in the Universe.
4) Southern night sky stars and constellations. A delight
for us living in Finland.
5) Chasing the Green Flash. Catch on film the last moments
of the setting Sun.
