JAKARTA AMATEUR ASTRONOMY SOCIETY

AbstractIn this modern era, the world's astronomy development has been developed furiously. Unfortunately, it's developed in our country is stagnant. The fact is most people in Indonesia are not familiar with astronomy yet. A few communities have known it but they still think that astronomy is an “expensive study”. For non-academic communities, this study is “untouchable”. Jakarta Amateur Astronomy Society, as one of a few astronomical instruments in Indonesia tries to change the paradigm by holding public based astronomical activities. We hope that by having these activities, our goal is to “socialize astronomy” will come true.

The BeginningSince Planetarium and Observatorium Jakarta was officially open for public on March 1, 1969, people's interests in astronomy, especially in Jakarta, has been built. One decade later, the number of astronomy's lovers had increased. Most of them thought that the subjects of information they get from Planetarium had not quenched their curiosity. The Head of Planetarium Jakarta at that time, Drs. Darsa Sukartadiredja, saw this phenomenon and tried to accommodate their interests by forming a club for Amateur Astronomy called Jakarta Amateur Astronomy Society (HAAJ). HAAJ was officially found on April 21, 1984. It is located in Planetarium and Observatorium Jakarta.

HAAJ RoutinesAt the beginning it's found, HAAJ Routines was only unscheduled meeting to discuss subjects related to astronomy and several star party activities which was held incidental. Organizationally, HAAJ was going through consistency inflation. Slowly but sure, it was developed into structured routines pattern. And then, since the year 2000, HAAJ has been having some routines and non routines activitieswhich are structured in a Routine Schedule. Generally, HAAJ activities are divided into two parts :Routine Activities and Non-Routine Activities.

Those activities are held as our effort to reach our goals ”To Socialize Astronomy” as our goals since HAAJ is found. Our hope as the Management of HAAJ is to have all the activities we have runs well. We will not run as perfect as we expected as HAAJ is just a non-profit institution which is count on the management's commitment and consistency. However, J will always give our best in each activity we hold. the Management of HAA

Goals and MissionThe purpose of HAAJ was formed at the beginning was to accommodate the interests of small groups which were interested in astronomy, and along the way through the years since it's found, we have been trying to socialize it to all kinds of communities, from different studies, professions and ages. From students, college students, professionals and housewives. From children to old people. They are all gathered for one reason; hobby. This is just the same as HAAJ's goals and mission, to socialize the astronomy study. It needs hard works and strong willing to reach our goals and mission. The mission itself is the astronomical activities based on public to grab as many public societies as we can. We hope by holding this activities will make astronomy even more popular for public to study.

HAAJ Non-Routine Activities Besides the routines activities, HAAJ has several non-routines activities as well. It is incidental programmed to help increasing the quality of the activities itself, enrich the astronomical activities, expanding

the networking for publication and of course to reach our goal “to Socialized Astronomy”. The programs are Counseling Star Party, The World Space Week, Astronomy Exhibition and Astronomical Phenomenon.

Star PartyIt is held four times in a year in four

different places. Usually it is located out of Jakarta, over the weekend from Saturday afternoon until Sunday morning for two days one night. From the four star parties held,

one of them (the first one) is open for public. The others are for members.

Two-weekly Routine Meeting

This activity is held on Saturday every two weeks. The form of this activity is lecture and discussion on astronomy, which is given by lecturer that is scheduled with certain subject and it is conveyed with simple explanation for public. The participants of this activity are most general public, from different

e d u c a t i o n a l b a c k g r o u n d , professions and stage of ages.

Amateur Astronomy Workshop

This activity is held to accommodate our members who eager to learn more about astronomy, especially for practically subjects. The activities are advanced lectures, instrumental workshops and night sky observation. This workshop is held once in a year, for one day length, from early in the morning until evening.

Astro PartyAstro Party is held once a year in

different cultural centers in Jakarta, such as Japan Foundation and Russian Cultural Center. This activity is held as a form of cooperat ion about astronomy between HAAJ and those

countries we are cooperated with. The form of this activity is talk show, exhibition and playing astronomy movies. The participants are High School students.

Jakarta Astronomy WeekThis activity is a competition in

astronomy study for High School students. It is held once every five years. The purpose if this activity is to know how far the students' interests in astronomy, especially for

High School students and to know how effective HAAJ activities that has been done to reach our goal “To Socialize Astronomy”.

Routine ActivitiesHAAJ Routine Activities consists of five main activities, they are Two-weekly Routine Meeting, Star Party, Amateur Astronomy Workshop, Astro Party, and Jakarta Astronomy Week.

Star Party Counseling This special program is held at schools and by invitation.

The participants are teachers and students from the invitee. The activities are general lecture, group discussions, astronomical instruments workshop, night sky observation, basic astronomy research. The Agenda of each program at each school can be

personalized.

Astronomy ExhibitionAs one of the astronomical instrument in Indonesia, HAAJ has

a moral responsibility to keep socializing the astronomy study for public. One of the media that is used to that purpose is by participating in the exhibitions from related institutions. We hope that the interest of public about astronomy will grow from these activities.

The World Space WeekThe World Space Week is celebrated in many countries all

over the world every year. In cooperation with Planetarium Jakarta, HAAJ has a chance to participate in celebrating this special event by holding activities such as seminars and exhibitions. Technically, HAAJ is participated as the lectures of the seminars and socialized our program through

exhibition.

Astronomical PhenomenonThere are many astronomical phenomenon from time to

time, and every phenomenon is special and should be socialized to public. It is our responsible to make people aware of these special phenomenons. Phenomenons to be socialized are : Comet Appearance, Meteor Shower, Solar Eclipse, Lunar Eclipse, Inner Planets Transit, etc.

The activities include : the phenomenon observation, basic research and its documentation.

One thing that is focused by the management of HAAJ is that this community can be counted on to ope n the public's mind about astronomy and knowledge generally. And as a local community in Jakarta, the Management o f HAAJ hopes that there will be more amateur astronomy clubs are found in other cities so that the socialization of astronomy can be widely spread.
