Sky Lounge will be an extraordinary learning asset, comprising a remotely operated white dome shaped observatory and telescopes. The observatory will enhance the School’s commitment to astronomy, equipping YES with the knowledge and skills required to effectively undertake research using their own primary data—rather than relying on secondary data—and potentially publish their research to support professional astronomical projects. To provide superior educational experiences to students, the Observatory will leverage the power of a fully computerized Dobsonian telescope that can detect 30,000 objects in the sky, and fascinating space exploration and astronomical displays and planetarium shows. The state of the art dome will give students the opportunity to visit the observatory during meteor showers, special celestial events, or simply to gaze into the heavens and enjoy whichever sights might await them.
