As part of its program to enhance astronomy education, the Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and Technology organized a special lecture on the “Sharjah Optical Observatory” on Jan. 25, 2021. The lecture was given by Mr. Mohamed Talafha, the main observer at the Sharjah Optical Astronomy Observatory. Mr. Talafha described the observatory optical system, composed of three main telescopes: a 17-inch reflecting telescope for deep-sky observations, an 18-cm refracting telescopes for the Moon planetary observation, and a 10-cm refracting solar telescope. The observatory has a long schedule of observations of stars systems, exoplanets, asteroids, and extragalactic sources. The observatory has a long story of organizing bi-weekly open houses for the general public to initiate them to the world of astronomy. We hope for these open houses to resume once the pandemic is over.
