Fosca at Boscha Observatorium

Fosca is a communication forum for all senior high school students around JABODETABEK are who loved science. Fosca was just founded 5 months ago. Despite of being a newly founded organization, we’ve held 3 major events as apart of our Astronomical Research Program of 2008. They are LDP ( Latihan Dasar Penelitian ; Basic Research Training ), PDA ( Penelitian Dasar Astronomi ; Basic Astronomy Training ) and the lastest one, Partial Moon Eclipse Observation. As for technical and material problems, we’ve got HAAJ’s ( Himpunan Astronomi Amatir Jakarta ; Jakarta Amateur Astronomical Association ) helping hand to hold those events. Not to mention, there still one major event left in our program. It’s the Annular Solar Eclipse Observation. The Ecplise will happen at January, 26^th 2009.
