Wish upon a Meteor Shower at the Bosscha Observatory

You can wish upon a star at the Bosscha Observatory in Lembang. Trust us, this is a sure romantic way to impress your date. And it makes a great family day out too, to get the kids to learn about the planets and constellations.

One-of-its-kind in the country, the observatory was built in 1923 during the Dutch colonial era, and was acquired by Institut Teknologi Bandung in 1959 for research in mathematics and natural sciences.

The observatory is only open to the public between 9:00-13:00 on Saturdays (it’s advisable to make a reservation beforehand). And depending on the weather conditions, lucky visitors can even get the chance to see Jupiter, Venus and several Nebulas. Yes, you may also get to witness a meteor shower – it’s only visible on a few nights every other month. A schedule is shown on the observatory’s website, so you can prepare to go check it out in advance!

From Wikipedia:

Bosscha Observatory is the oldest observatory in Indonesia. The observatory is located in Lembang, West Java, approximately 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) north of Bandung. It is situated on a hilly six hectares of land and is 1,310 m (4,300 ft) above mean sea level plateau. The IAU observatory code for Bosscha is 299.

History

During the first meeting of the Nederlandsch-Indische Sterrekundige Vereeniging (Dutch-Indies Astronomical Society) in the 1920s, it was agreed that an observatory was needed to study astronomy in the Dutch East Indies. Of all locations in the Indonesia archipelago, a tea plantation in Malabar, a few kilometers north of Bandung in West Java was selected. It is on the hilly north side of the city with a non-obstructed view of the sky and with close access to the city that was planned to become the new capital of the Dutch colony, replacing Batavia (present-day Jakarta). The observatory is named after the tea plantation owner Karel Albert Rudolf Bosscha, son of the physicist Johannes Bosscha and a major force in the development of science and technology in the Dutch East Indies, who granted six hectares of his property for the new observatory.

Construction of the observatory began in 1923 and was completed in 1928. Since then a continuous observation of the sky was made. The first international publication from Bosscha was published in 1922. Observations from Bosscha were halted during World War II and after the war a major reconstruction was necessary. On 17 October 1951, the Dutch-Indies Astronomical Society handed over operation of the observatory to the government of Indonesia. In 1959 the observatory's operation was given to the Institut Teknologi Bandung and has been an integral part of the research and formal education of astronomy in Indonesia.

BOGOR

BOGOR

The City Of Rain

Bogor is a city on the island of Java in the West Java province of Indonesia. The city is located in the center of the Bogor Regency, 60 kilometers (37 mi) south of the Indonesian capital Jakarta, although it is administratively independent from that regency. Bogor is the 6th largest city of Jabodetabek (Jakarta metropolitan region) and the 14th nationwide, with a population having passed 1 million, it is an important economic, scientific, cultural and tourist center, as well as a mountain resort. In the middle Ages, the city was the capital of Sunda Kingdom and was called PakuanPajajaran. During the Dutch colonial era, it was named Buitenzorg (meaning “Without a care” in Dutch) and served as the summer residence of the Governor-General of Dutch East Indies. With several hundred thousand people living on an area of about 20 km2 (7.7 sq. mi), the central part of Bogor is one of the world’s most densely populated areas. The city has a presidential palace and a botanical garden (Kebun Raya Bogor) – one of the oldest and largest in the world. It bears the nickname “The Rain City” (Kota Hujan), because of frequent rain showers. It nearly always rains even during the dry season.

Bandung Institute of Technology, Bandung

Bandung Institute of Technology, Bandung

One Of The Most Prestigious University In Indonesia

Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) or Bandung Insitute of Technology or Institute of technology Bandung, was founded on March 2, 1959. The present ITB main campus is the site of earlier engineering schools in Indonesia. Although these institutions of higher learning had their own individual characteristics and missions, they left influence on developments leading to the establishment of ITB. In 1920, Technische Hogeschool (TH) was established in Bandung, which for a short time, in the middle forties, became Kogyo Daigaku. Not long after the birth of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945, the campus housed the Technical Faculty (including a Fine Arts Department) of Universitas Indonesia, with the head office in Jakarta. In the early fifties, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, also part of Universitas Indonesia, was established on the campus.

In 1959, the present lnstitut Teknologi Bandung was founded by the Indonesian government as an institution of higher learning of science, technology, and fine arts, with a mission of education, research, and service to the community. ITB was considered the top choice among Indonesia’s high school students in 2006 and has been credited as one of the most “prestigious” universities in Indonesia, together with University of Indonesia and Gadjah Mada University. Sukarno, the first president of the Republic of Indonesia, earned his engineering degree in civil engineering from ITB. The university cultivates professional and social activities by supporting its students’ unions, the student government councils that exist in every department. Each students’ union has its own distinctly designed jacket that, among other traditions, serves as part of its member identity. There are also a number of student activity units/clubs supporting ITB student interests in rounding out their educational experience. It is not uncommon that the students and alumni are identified by the clubs to which they belong (or used to belong) at ITB, in addition to their class year and major.

Bandung Institute of Technology complex area is included in the heritage area in Bandung because there are West Hall and East Hall which is Dutch architect works named Maclaind Pond. In addition there are many more buildings in the campus, designed by famous architects include Ir. Soekarno. Although the function is used as the lectures, but public can enter the campus area to just take pictures of the building and its atmosphere as well as a walk around in the campus area. In addition, there is a science and technology demonstration center in the area of Sasana Budaya Ganesha (Sabuga).

60 negara dan 40 juri dunia dari berbagai dunia akan hadir pada Pameran Filateli Dunia 2017 (World Stamp Exhibition) 2017

Indonesian Independence Day

Indonesian Independence Day

When is Independence Day in Indonesia?
Always celebrated on August 17, this is Indonesia's national day and marks Indonesia's declaration of independence from the Netherlands in 1945.

History of Independence Day in Indonesia
Indonesia had been a Dutch colony for over 300 years when a group of revolutionaries declared independence on August 17, 1945. It took Indonesians four years of diplomacy and armed struggle before their independence was formally granted by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. Despite the granting of independence in 1945, it wasn't until 2005, that the Netherlands declared that they had decided to accept the date of 17 August 1945 as the date of Indonesia’s independence. Indonesia is an archipelago of over 17,000 islands. It is the world's fourth most populous country.

How is Independence day in Indonesia celebrated?
This national holiday is celebrated throughout Indonesia with parades, community gatherings, athletic events involving adults and children such as sack races, and a multitude of cultural and performing arts festivals. Traditions also include eating Indonesian crackers (known as 'krupuk') or fruit hanging on a string and climbing a pinang tree to reach for a prize.

National Flag of Indonesia
The national flag of Indonesia is called 'Sang Saka Merah-Putih' (the sacred red and white) and was unveiled on August 17, 1945. The design is derived from the banner of Majapahit Empire in East Java which ruled in the region before the arrival of the Dutch. The flag consists two equal horizontal stripes; the top red and the bottom white. The red represents courage and the white is purity.
