How Robotanium Telescopes Work
Intelligent Scheduling
Scheduler software prioritizes targets based on visibility windows, weather forecasts, and scientific importance, creating optimal observation plans.
Automated Observation
Telescopes automatically point to targets, adjust focus with precision, and capture high-quality images or spectroscopic data without human intervention.
Remote Data Transmission
Collected data is transmitted instantly to researchers for analysis, eliminating the need for physical presence at remote observatory sites.
What Students Can Observe
The Moon
Explore dramatic craters, mountain ranges, and maria. Students track lunar phases and discover why the Moon's appearance changes throughout the month.
The Sun
Safely observe our nearest star using specialized solar filters. View sunspots, solar prominences, and learn about solar activity and its effects on Earth.
Stars & Planets
Identify bright stars, track visible planets, and understand why celestial objects appear to move across our sky throughout the night and year.
Evening Program Highlights
Jupiter & Saturn
During our evening and night sessions, students can witness the true giants of our solar system in stunning detail.
- Jupiter: Observe the Great Red Spot, cloud bands, and the four Galilean moons orbiting this massive planet.
- Saturn: Marvel at the magnificent ring system — one of nature’s most spectacular sights that never fails to amaze.
- Deep Sky Objects: View star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies when conditions allow.
