EUDOXOS
The National Observatory for Education ‘EUDOXOS’ is the oldest Greek center for Robotic Astronomy and the Official Observatory of the Secondary Education System of Greece. It hosts a wide variety of remotely controlled telescopes and implementations of their associated diverse technologies. EUDOXOS’ as a new institution, was conceived in 1993, started development in 1996, and operates since 1999 at an altitude of 1040m on Mount Ainos, Kefallinia Island, Greece. The other Optical Telescopes of the EUDOXOS Observatories are installed in sites located outside Kefallinia. EUDOXOS Observatories are robotic. They give you the opportunity to make your own observations remotely and get real measurements from real instruments for real science !
Eudoxos’ people continue to develop astronomy curricula and distant learning activities tailored to the equipment of the observatories, namely the “EUDOXOS advanced educational curriculum” and the “EUDOXOS introductory educational curriculum” (for talented and normal pupils respectively). The unsurpassed suitability and efficiency of Robotic Telescopes in completing intensive repetitive tasks makes it ideally suited for the study of the following open problems in Astronomy: (an informative introduction to the current status of each topic is to appear soon). Over the last two decades the astronomical observing has been undergoing a modal transformation from the hands-on observing paradigm i.e.
