We had a campaign of observing the annular solar eclipse on 2012 May 21 by naked eye through eclipse eyeglasses to determine the limit line of annularity. As a result, we had about 15,000 reports through our website. In addition there were many observation groups for which about 30,000 people in total participated in the observations. The overall result was that the limit we observed by naked eye through eclipse glasses coincided with a prediction that took into account the lunar limb irregularity within the error of ${\pm}500m$. This error of the limit line location corresponds to about ${\pm}200km$ of the radius of the Sun.

천체의 운동을 관측한 다양한 천문학 자료들이 오랫동안 우리의 실생활에 활용되어져 왔다. 이 생활천문자료에는 일출몰시각 자료와 음양력변환 자료, 일식과 월식 등을 포함하는 천문현상 자료, 그리고 태양의 고도와 방위각 자료가 있으며, 계절에 대한 정확한 정보가 필요했던 고대의 농경사회에서는 농업을 위한 기본자료로 사용되었고 천문현상과 정권유지를 유기적으로 연결한 고대집권세력에 의해서 정치적으로 이용되기도 하였다. 현대에 와서도 이들 생활천문자료들은 건축물의 일조량 관련 문제와 일출몰 시각과 관련된 법적분쟁 등 다양한 분야에서 지속적으로 이용되고 있다. 이와 같이, 생활천문자료는 순수과학의 결과물이 실생활에 직접적으로 이용되는 좋은 사례이다. 그러나 이 자료들은 역서를 통해 배포되고 있으며 사용자들은 주로 민원신청을 통해 자료를 확보하기 때문에 이용에 불편함이 많았다. 본 연구에서는 이 자료들을 보다 쉽게 이용하고 체계적으로 관리할 수 있도록 MySQL 기반의 웹 서비스 시스템을 구축하였다.

We have designed and built three cost effective observatories, in distinct models, which can house Schmidt-Cassegrain type small telescopes having aperture sizes up to 16 inches. Using the available small telescopes, we provided the people of Manipura State in the far north-east corner of India the opportunity to observe directly with their own eyes the rare, spectacular events of the solar eclipse of January 15, 2010, lunar eclipse of December 10, 2011 and the transit of Venus of June 6, 2012. Apart from sharing a platform with the public for astronomy education and popularization through public outreach programs such as workshops, seminars and night watch programs, we have also developed a laboratory infrastructure and gained expertise in observational techniques based on photoelectric photometry, CCD imaging, CCD photometry and spectroscopy. Our team has become a partner in the ongoing international 'Orion project' headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, USA which will be producing high quality photometric and spectroscopic data for five stars in the Orion constellation, namely Betelgeuse (alpha Orionis), Rigel (beta Orionis), Mintaka (delta Orionis), Alnilam (epsilon Orionis) and Alnitak (zeta Orionis). In the present paper, the authors would like to give a detailed report of their activities for the growth of astronomy in the state of Manipur, India.

We investigate solar and lunar motions in the Seonmyeong (SM) calendar that was compiled by Xu, Ang of the Tang dynasty (A.D. 618-907) in China and used for 71 years from 822 to 892. This calendar was also used in Korea during the Goryeo dynasty (A.D. 918-1392) and in Japan for 823 years from 862 to 1684, the longest time among the three countries. Referring to historical documents of China, Korea, and Japan, we analyze the calendrical methods of calculating the daily apparent movements of the Sun and Moon in the SM calendar, which were considered their unequal motions, and compare the movements with the results of modern calculations for three periods in the Goryeo dynasty: 919, 1155, and 1392 years (i.e., the beginning, middle, and ending of the dynasty, respectively). We find that a quadratic equation was employed to obtain the daily movement of the Sun using physical quantities on the instant of each solar term, which was tabulated in its calendar book such as the Goryeosa (History of the Goryeo Dynasty). For quantitative analysis, we compute the mean absolute difference (MAD) of the daily apparent movement between the SM calendar and modern calculations and obtain 0.33, 0.30, and 0.31 arcmin for the periods of 919, 1155, and 1392 years, respectively. Meanwhile, we find relatively large MAD values in the daily movement of the Moon: 0.217, 0.284, and 0.240 degrees for each corresponding year. An interesting point is that the MAD value in the lunar motion shows the maximum in 1155 years, and is the minimum in the solar motion. In conclusion, we believe that this study will facilitate in the understanding of the SM calendar further, particularly in the calendrical methods of calculating sunrise, sunset, and eclipse times.

We arrange Korean ancient calendar with Solar calendar during Choseon Dynasty(A.D. 1392-1910). In this period, we have one representable history books and several books, and most of information for date are found from them, ChoseonWangjosillok(조선왕조실록) and Jeungbomunheonbigo(증보문헌비고), etc. In those books many astronomical data and calendar information data are contained, so we can make chronological tables. Most of the data are arranged based on those several books, and for doubtable data are identified from eclipse, historical events and lunar phase calculations etc. We find that arranged chronological tables during Choseon Dynasty are similar to that of China and somewhat different from that of Japan. In addition we summarize all misrecorded date data in ChoseonWangjosillok

We arranged ancient Korean calendar during Koryo dynasty (A.D. 918-1392) according to Julian calendar. We used two representative history books, Koryo-sa (高麗史) and Koryo-sa Jeolyo (高麗史節要), which contain thea stronomical and the historical records chronologically. We found all 19,727 ganji dates(日辰) and 102 misrecoreded ganji dates in two books. Most of the data are arranged based on those two books, and doubtful data are identified using the eclipse, historical events and lunar phase calculations etc. Although Korea, China, and Japan were using basically the same calendar since ancient times, their calendars show some significant disagreement. We found that arranged chronological tables during Koryo dynasty were, in some cases, different from those of China and Japan.

The purpose of this study was to apply the instructional strategies for conceptual change prescribed by Posner et al(1982) to the astronomic content domain taught in the elementary and middle school and to analyze the characteristics of students' knowledge revealed in the test before, during and after the instruction. Also, it was to investigate the intercorrelation of cognitive levels, spatial ability and science achievement. The major findings of this study are as follows: 1. Students had a great variety of misconceptions related to the motion of the moon before the instruction, that is, the phases, the names of phases and the cause of changing phases by the moon's orbit about the earth, the moon's appearance and location at the given time, the relative positions of earth, moon and sun during a lunar eclipse, the cause that a full moon is not at the line of node once a month. In the analysis of students' responses concerning the cause of changing phases of the moon and a lunar eclipse, the results indicate that the great majority of students had rote learning rather than meaningful learning in the middle school. 2. Students' reponses during the instruction concerning the changing phases of the moon and the predictive knowledge about the motions of the earth and the moon were analyzed. 1) According to the results of the test given before and after experiment, after discussion, achievement score of the whole of subjects and groups in both preformal and formal cognitive levels appeared to increase linearly. 2) There was no statistically significant differences of achievement scores before and after experiment, after discussion between preformal group and formal group in cognitive levels. 3. Distribution of achievement scores according to the whole of subjects and groups in preformal and formal cognitive levels shows that there was a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest. 4. Types of conceptual changes concerning the cause of changing phases of the moon that occurred from pretest to posttest were classified as accommodation, incomplete accommodation, assimilation, no change and no model. Six of the seven students starting instruction with alternative frameworks didn't sustain those alternative models throughout instruction. Five of these six students accommodated completely and the last one partially. Seventy-nine percentage of students taking instruction with fragmental models assimilated correct propositions at the end of the instruction. These results suggest that conceptual change model prescribed by Posner et al(1982) has promised the meaningful learning to students taking with fragmental models, especially in cases where students with misconception enter instruction. 5. High correlation between achievement score of simple-recall items and that of written items in pretest and posttest indicates that the higher students got the score in simple-recall items the better they also performed in written items. However, there was no statistically significant differences among cognitive levels, spatial ability and science achievement in the whole of subjects and groups according to the cognitive levels.

이 글은 제3회 청공축제 경연에 참여한 공식참가작 5편을 분석하여 청소년 관객의 공감 양상을 분석하였다. 이런 분석에 사용한 준거는 공식참가작의 '등장인물과 연기' 그리고 '배경과 주제'였다. 첫째 등장인물은 대체로 청소년인 학생과 학교 밖 청소년이 주인공이었지만, 이와 달리 청소년과 성인의 관계에 초점을 두거나 청년에 주목한 공연도 있었는데, 청소년 관객들은 청소년이 주인공인 공연을 더 좋아했다. 그리고 연기는 신파극보다는 정극을, 정극보다는 뮤지컬을 더 선호했다. 또한 공연에서 다룬 사건의 배경은 청소년 관객과 가까우면 가까울수록 청소년 관객이 공연에 공감하는 정도가 높았고, 주제 또한 청소년들의 관심사와 가까우면 가까울수록 긍정적인 평가를 받았다. 합평회에서 발표된 청소년 평가단의 의견을 종합해 보면, 첫째 관객 참여형 신파극장, '미스터리 엑스'에 관해서는 청소년의 범위를 20대 청년으로 확장하고, 부정적이며 무거운 현실을 재미있고 유익하게 보여준 공연으로 평가했다. 둘째 공감도 높은 반편견 청소년극, '거북이'에 관해서는 나와 다른 청소년의 모습에 대한 편견을 '가방'이라는 상징을 통해 설득력 있게 형상화하였다고 평가했다. 셋째 70년대 시간여행 복고풍의 청소년극, '콩나물 버스'에 관해서는 잘 만들어진 복고주의 청소년극이라고 평가했다. 넷째 관계의 미학을 절제와 상징으로 보여준, '개기월식'에 관해서는 천체들의 관계처럼 인간관계도 서로 비춰주고, 바라보는 것이란 메시지를 잔잔하게 보여 준 화면 구성이 뛰어난 청소년극이라고 평가했다. 다섯째 뮤지컬로 재탄생한, 'B사감과 러브레터'에 관해서는 100년 전 발표된 현진건의 소설을 뮤지컬로 적절하게 각색하였다고 평가했다. 마지막으로 합평회에서 나온 청소년 평가단이 바라는 공연의 특징은 크게 '공감성'과 '교육성'이 높은 공연이었다. 즉, 단순한 볼거리보다는 청소년의 정서와 생각에 공감할 수 있는 공연을 선호했고, 다른 한편 공감을 넘어서서 자기 세계를 벗어나 세상을 넓게 바라볼 수 있는 공연, 편견을 깨는 청소년극을 보고 싶어 했다. 이 연구에서 분석한 청소년극에 관한 청소년 관객의 평가를 참고하여 청소년극을 만든다면 관객들이 더 많이 공감하는 공연을 만들 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
