将天文学引入莫桑比克社会
Introducing Astronomy into Mozambican Society
摘要:
莫桑比克已被提议作为南部非洲未来平方公里阵列台站之一的东道国。然而,莫桑比克没有大学天文学系,直到最近才有兴趣发展一个。南非一直在资助硕士和博士级别的学生以及研究人员。此外,拥有物理学学位的莫桑比克人获得了理学硕士学位。随着国际天文学年的到来,这些学生强烈要求在莫桑比克建立一个成功的天文学系。在2008年世界空间周期间发起的纪念活动非常成功,莫桑比克将被用来激励缺乏资金但仍在努力参加国际天文学年的类似非洲国家。资源和资金有限,但有强烈的意愿将这一势头延续到2009年,并以此影响政府将天文学纳入其国家课程和大学一级。莫桑比克国际天文学年的座右铭是“Descobre o teu Universo”。
英文摘要:
Mozambique has been proposed as a host for one of the future Square Kilometre Array stations in Southern Africa. However, Mozambique does not possess a university astronomy department and only recently has there been interest in developing one. South Africa has been funding students at the MSc and PhD level, as well as researchers. Additionally, Mozambicans with Physics degrees have been funded at the MSc level. With the advent of the International Year of Astronomy, there has been a very strong drive, from these students, to establish a successful astronomy department in Mozambique. The launch of the commemorations during the 2008 World Space Week was very successful and Mozambique is to be used to motivate similar African countries who lack funds but are still trying to take part in the International Year of Astronomy. There hare been limited resources and funding, however there is a strong will to carry this momentum into 2009 and, with this, influence the Government to introduce Astronomy into its national curriculum and at University level. Mozambique's motto for the International Year of Astronomy is "Descobre o teu Universo".
