  10. History of Astronomy in Pakistan • Department of Astronomy was Established in 1914 • First Telescope was installed in 1924 • The department of Astronomy was closed in 1988 • The building of Astronomy is Occupied • Dome and Telescope are saved to date Pakistan Network of Telescopes for Astronomical Observations

  11. History of Astronomy in Pakistan • Very few activities are planned • Very few trained manpower is available • No coordination in terms of Astronomy Pakistan Network of Telescopes for Astronomical Observations

  12. History of Astronomy in Pakistan • COMSATS took the initiative • Intends to join hands with GHOU • Planning to establish a Robotic Astronomical Observatory Pakistan Network of Telescopes for Astronomical Observations

  13. Advantages of Robotic Telescope are • Remote controlling service • IT professionals and electronic engineers can get opportunities including • Image processing • Data storage and sharing Pakistan Network of Telescopes for Astronomical Observations

  19. Requirement of the time • To keep pace with technical learning society • Research based learning • Interest boaster for young generation • Pakistan will be introduced in the community of astronomy • Member of GHOU • Astronomical on-line connection with 18 member countries of GHOU Pakistan Network of Telescopes for Astronomical Observations

  20. Academic Objectives are • High Precision Astrometry • Understanding physical nature of celestial objects • Structure of the Universe • Monitoring and observing gamma ray bursts to locate black holes Pakistan Network of Telescopes for Astronomical Observations

  21. Areas to Get Benefit are • Education by introducing Astronomy • Attractive and informative source for media coverage of astronomical events in Pakistan and all over the world • Opportunity for Pakistan to collaborate and share astronomical data with 18 other nations Pakistan Network of Telescopes for Astronomical Observations

  22. Impact • In 2004, “Punjab Textbook Board” included a complete chapter on Astronomy & Space Sciences in their Science Textbooks of Class 1 to Class 8 • A curriculum is being discussed for class 9 & 10 to teach Astronomy as an independent subject • In 2004, Higher Education Commission has designed a curriculum for Space Sciences at bachelor and masters level Pakistan Network of Telescopes for Astronomical Observations
