Adding to its outreach efforts, Narit is hosting Science Week 2025, a “fun science event” designed to engage a broader audience with the wonders of the universe. Details about the event can be found on kapook.com. This event builds on Narit’s broader mission to foster scientific literacy and inspire the next generation of astronomers.
Beyond the Horizon: Understanding the Northern Aurora
Recent research clarifies our understanding of the Northern Aurora (also known as the Northern Lights). Contrary to previous assumptions, the azalea model of the Northern Aurora does not necessarily require reaching the magnetic pole to be visible. This discovery broadens the potential viewing areas and offers new avenues for studying this extraordinary natural phenomenon.
Youthful Enthusiasm: A New Generation of Astronomers
The future of astronomy looks shining, as evidenced by the achievements of young enthusiasts.
