Lebih daripada 10,000 pengunjung telah membanjiri Stadium Tertutup Larkin sempena Karnival Minggu Sains Negara (MSN) Peringkat Negeri Johor pada 19 dan 20 Ogos 2023 anjuran MOSTI dengan kerjasama Kerajaan Negeri Johor dan Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). Karnival selama dua (2) hari itu dilihat sebagai salah satu platform yang mampu menarik minat pelajar-pelajar untuk meminati bidang sains, teknologi dan inovasi (STI).

Astronomy is the study of everything in the universe beyond Earth’s atmosphere. That includes objects we can see with our naked eyes, like the Sun , the Moon , the planets, and the stars . It also includes objects we can only see with telescopes or other instruments, like faraway galaxies and tiny particles.
The science of field astronomy offers to surveyors @ geomatics engineers a means of determining the absolute location of any point or absolute location and direction of any line-on the surface of the earth, by making astronomical observations to celestial bodies. Traditionally, geomatics activities deal with determining precise azimuth, positioning and timing. The dependency on astronomical techniques for carrying out such practices has been well understood.
Astronomic azimuths are bearings, which are referenced to the true north direction whereas geodetic azimuths are those referenced to a grid north direction. The difference between these two directions can be expressed through the deflection of the vertical.
Kumpulan Penyelidikan Inovasi Geomatik (GnG), Fakulti Alam Bina dan Ukur (FABU), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) akan menganjurkan Program Bincang Geodesi Demi Malaysia bersama Bahagian Ukur Geodetik, Jabatan Ukur dan Pemetaan Malaysia (JUPEM). Sesi perbincangan ini merupakan satu platform jalinan kerjasama dan kolaborasi antara Program Geoinformasi, FABU, UTM dengan JUPEM bagi menyusun strategi untuk memantapkan bidang geodesi di Malaysia.
