The galaxy's large size and relatively low apparent magnitude (lower magnitude implies higher brightness) also make it a popular target for amateur astronomy observations.
This telescope is designed for infrared astronomy observations in the stratosphere at altitudes of about 41,000 feet (about 12 km).
Because the galaxy has a high surface brightness and relatively large angular size, it is an ideal target for amateur astronomy observations.
Other research encompasses Earth-based astronomy observations, the study of space debris, and space weather.
The Society also practices amateur astronomy observations.
It also actively organizes summer camps, awareness programs and astronomy observations for school children.
Astronomical interferometers are commonly used for high-resolution optical, infrared, submillimetre and radio astronomy observations.
But says that Ptolemy used an astrolabe to make the astronomy observations recorded in the Tetrabiblos.
In the 1940s radio interferometry was used to perform the first high resolution radio astronomy observations.
The new difficulty arose just as the astronomy observations had begun to go well.
