在西藏高原上走过逾万公里的路，于西陲接近喀什米尔边境，登上5100米海拔高地，在极其艰苦的条件下，亲手建立全球最高天文台之一。作为天文爱好者，能够在这片极地上建立自己的观测站，夫復何求? 数年间数十多次入藏，感谢中国科院国家天文台、台湾大学及西藏团队支持，让我们圆了多少年的天文梦。在西藏的路途上，我们会继续携手，走得更高更远....方社长
I have traveled over ten thousand kilometers across the Tibetan Plateau, reaching the Kashmir border and ascending to 5,100 meters. Under challenging conditions, I helped establish one of the highest astronomical observatories. As an astronomy enthusiast, setting up my own station here is a dream fulfilled. Over the years, I have made several dozen trips to Tibet, and I am grateful for the support from the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, National Taiwan University, and the Tibetan team. Together, we have realized our dreams in astronomy and will continue to reach new heights. Savio Fong

Beyond the stars 星空、天文学
|
夜幕低垂，繁星点点，这片瑰丽且神秘的大自然景象，引发人类无限遐想。近年香港引入天文学为常规教育，已故邵逸夫爵士设立天文学奖，我国在天文学及太空探索方面的快速发展，一再说明到了今天，古老又尖端同时充满艺术气息的天文学，仍极有生命力及发展空间。
星河科研社于1996年成立，工作包括活动、器材、技术等服务，对象包括国家科研机构、学界、社区、个人。近年重点推动区内天文建设，包括香港、澳门、中国内地、台湾及东南亚多国数十项天文台及天文馆设施。
我们刚渡过了自成立以来最急速发展的一年。是过去多年的工作基础成就今天的成长，但我们更放眼将来，期望把工作做得更好。 Humankind has long known that nature and us are inseparable. Peasants relied on the sky to set their daily routines, which slowly developed into calendar. From this came all sorts of knowledge; and among them the oldest and the most mysterious of all, astronomy.
There has been a significant growth of interest in astronomy in the last hundred years. The recognition of contributions in the field of astronomy by the Shaw Prize and China’s achievements in space advancement manifest the importance of this knowledge and helps to bring the study of the outer space closer to the community.
All in all, the study of astronomy can equip us with various skills needed in learning, and brings us to better appreciation of art and nature. It is with this that we can be a responsible global citizen. |
