GOTO (telescope Array)
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is an array of robotic optical telescopes optimized for the discovery of Kilonova, optical counterparts to gravitational wave events and other Multi-messenger astronomy, multi-messenger signals. The array consists of a network of telescope systems, with each system consisting of eight 0.4m telescopes on a Telescope mount, single mounting. As of May 2023 the network consists of two sites, each with two systems. GOTO-N (North) located at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (ORM) on the La Palma, island of La Palma, Spain and GOTO-S (South) located at Siding Spring Observatory (SSO), Australia. The project is run by an international consortium of universities and other research institutes, including the University of Warwick, Monash University, the University of Sheffield, the University of Leicester, Armagh Observatory, the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand, the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, th ...

Newtonian Telescope
The Newtonian telescope, also called the Newtonian reflector or just a Newtonian, is a type of reflecting telescope invented by the English scientist Sir Isaac Newton, using a concave primary mirror and a flat diagonal secondary mirror. Newton's first reflecting telescope was completed in 1668 and is the earliest known functional reflecting telescope. The Newtonian telescope's simple design has made it very popular with amateur telescope makers. Description

National Astronomical Research Institute Of Thailand
The National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand, or NARIT, is a research institute under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation. NARIT's headquarters are in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The main missions of the institute are to carry out, support, and promote the development of astronomy and astrophysics in Thailand through research, public outreach, and educational activities. NARIT was established in 2004 as NARI (National Astronomical Research Institute), a statutory government institute under the Ministry of Science and Technology, to commemorate Bhumibol Adulyadej's 80th birthday. On 27 December 2008, the status of NARIT was changed to a non-profit public governmental organization. The Thai National Observatory (TNO) is NARIT's main facility. TNO rests on Thailand's highest mountain, Doi Inthanon, in Doi Inthanon National Park, Chom Thong District, Chiang Mai Province. In 2020, NARIT completed the construction of the Thai National Radio Tele ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
