A Planetarium at Denla British School

We went to set up for 3 days at Denla British School (DBS) in Nonthaburi! DBS is an amazing school with top notch facilities, a very modern campus and dedicated teachers. It was one of their dedicated teachers, Sam, who invited us to set up our planetarium and share about astronomy & physics to their students.

We DIY'd a spectroscope, very simple but effective one, that clearly illustrates the idea of the visible spectrum to the students. Eventually, they will be learning about the H-R diagram and spectral class of the stars (WOBAFGKM...), stellar evolution, and all that good stuff!

The weather cooperated one of the days and we were able to set up to show the absorption lines in the sun through one of our telescopes. There was also an opportunity to observe the sun safely through solar filters. We also talked (and danced like) the planets in the solar system, black holes, origins of the universe, DBS and DLTS (who visited one of the days) have amazing students with brilliant questions!

Overall, it was a great experience for everyone of us, and we hope that we left with the students at DBS and DLTS more inspired, more curious and knowing a little more about our amazing natureverse!
