Abstract

Tasmania has been the site of much astronomical activity over the past century. While most of the scientific research has taken place in the south of the state, this paper documents the significant activities that have been a focus in northern Tasmania, tracing the history of key events and people involved. The scene is set with a summary of pre-1920 astronomical history, followed by a detailed discussion of activities over the past 100 years, including the establishment of the Launceston Planetarium and its subsequent shift from QVMAG to the present-day Inveresk site. It identifies the many professional and amateur astronomers who have played a pivotal role in helping build Tasmania’s strong astronomical reputation as a centre for research and education, now recognised worldwide. Many aspects of this paper are drawn from the author’s own experience in the hopes of attracting further information to expand our knowledge.

塔斯马尼亚北部的天文学
在过去的一个世纪里,塔斯马尼亚岛一直是许多天文活动的发生地。虽然大多数科学研究都是在塔斯马尼亚州的南部进行的,但本文记录了塔斯马尼亚州北部的重要活动,追踪了关键事件和相关人员的历史。该场景以1920年之前的天文历史总结为背景,随后详细讨论了过去100年的活动,包括Launceston天文馆的建立以及随后从QVMAG转移到今天的Inveresk地点。它表彰了许多专业和业余天文学家,他们在帮助建立塔斯马尼亚作为研究和教育中心的强大天文学声誉方面发挥了关键作用,现在已经得到了全世界的认可。本文的许多方面都是从作者自己的经验中汲取的,希望能吸引更多的信息来扩展我们的知识。
