The Role of Temporary Western Observatories in the Development of Professional Astronomy in Thailand
During the nineteenth century Siam (present-day Thailand) was trapped between British colonies to the west (Burma) and south (the Straits Settlements) and a French colony to the east (Cochin China), yet managed to retain its independence—the only SE Asian nation that succeeded in doing so. One consequence of this was that Siam did not establish a National Observatory or network of regional observatories, which were a conspicuous element of Britis…
King Rama Iv, Sir Harry Ord and the Total Solar Eclipse of 18 August 1868
The August 1868 total solar eclipse was a watershed event in astronomical history and through spectroscopic and photographic analyses led to major breakthroughs in solar physics. This eclipse was observed from Aden, India, Siam and the Dutch East Indies. Apart from the scientific accomplishments, this eclipse also played an important diplomatic role in Siam, where the English and the French had colonial aspirations. Sir Harry Ord was the Governor…
Showcasing Seventeenth-Century Jesuit Astronomy in Asia
The first great ruler to encourage the adoption of Western culture and technology throughout Siam was King Narai, who also had a passion for astronomy. He showed this by encouraging French and other Jesuit missionaries, some with astronomical interests and training, to settle in Siam from the early 1660s. One of these was Father Antoine Thomas, and he was the first European known to have carried out scientific astronomical observations from Siam,…
