The
5th year BS-Astronomy Technology students under the subject Astronomy
Education being advised by Ms. Ruby Dela Cruz, are required to
conduct public observations and lectures to increase the knowledge
and awareness of the people regarding astronomy.
We
conducted a free public observation at RTU quadrangle on the date of
February 11, 2013 12:15–1:00 pm , for the students and employees of
the university. The sun was shining brightly that day. We used a Newtonian 8” reflecting telescope with a glass filter. Overall
there were a total of 80 students composed of students from the
college of nursing, engineering, education, science and high school
who participated in the solar observation. The students asked a lot
of question regarding astronomy and about our course BS-AstroTech. We
answered their questions as best as we could so we can increase public awareness
about astronomy. We also wanted to promote the upcoming National Astronomy
Week and we encouraged them to visit our department to
view the astronomy exhibits the astro students prepared.
