Solving the mystery of the movement of the earth's crust using astronomical technology #VGOS radio telescope (VLBI Global Observing System Radio Telescope).
On March 28th, 2025, a major earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 struck Mandalay, Myanmar. The tremors and their effects were felt in many areas of southern China and Thailand, as far as the capital city of Bangkok, some 1,000 kilometers away. We would like to express our concern and support to all those affected by this incident.

Elevate astronomical research with the Evanescent Wave Coronagraph (EvWaCo), the world's first and most advanced model made in Thailand
Today, we introduce the novel optical research instrument called Evanescent Wave Coronagraph, abbreviated as EvWaCo, which is an innovative model of coronagraph that reduces the brightness of stars and is primarily used for binary stars and exoplanets exploration. Thai scientists and researchers at the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT) developed this cutting-edge state-of-the-art instrument, which is the world's first of its kind.
