Abstract
Astronomy
is all about vision of our perception to the university. Naked-eye observations
of the sun, moon, planets, and stars established the foundations of
astronomy for thousands of years from ancient and modern, Chinese and
foreign. In the 2000 millennium, the MoE has approved the proposal of
upgrading the national astronomical infrastructures in Taiwan to enhance
exiting projects (TAOS, SLT ant TON), and to provide a platform for
all universities to develop future scientifically competitive astronomical
projects and teaching facilities for training students and young astronomers
in Taiwan. The National Central University is developing the Lu-Lin
Observatory in the Jade Mountain National Park for research and education.
The Central University is planning fast Internet communication from
the Lu-Lin Observatory to Host University in order to contact with the
worldwide collaborators such as LLNL (TAOS), Yale (SLT) and CHARA.
