Bosscha Observatory — part of the Faculty culture and history since antiquity. In the 1960s, a Schmidt telescope also of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at In the past, astronomy has been used operated in the Bosscha Observatory, Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) — there to navigate, to determine the cultivation partly supported by a UNESCO donation is also the National Institute of Aeronautics cycle of rice1 and to orient ancient temples2. for the study of the Galactic structure4. and Space (Lembaga Penerbangan dan Astrophysics emerged in Indonesia during The Bosscha Observatory has made Antariksa Negara; LAPAN) and the the 1920s with the founding of the Bosscha numerous significant contributions Department of Atmospheric and Planetary Observatory at Lembang, West Java, to the development of astronomy and Sciences at Institut Teknologi Sumatera Indonesia3. The primary telescope of the astrophysics5, as well as to the development (ITERA), among others. Unfortunately, observatory is a Carl Zeiss twin 24-inch of Indonesian astronomy communities. modern astronomical facilities are still (60 cm) refractor, for visual and blue-band Nowadays, astronomy communities in lacking. The situation is exacerbated by observations.
