摘要
１９９７年３月６日至３月７日，我们利用ＩＮＴＥＲＮＥＴＲＥＬＡＹＣＨＡＴ（ＩＲＣ）进行了首次国际天文联合遥在观测试验，并获得了成功。本次试验由分布在全球７个不同地点的工作组联合进行，包括中国、美国、加拿大和英国。这一试验的成功为天文观测开创了一个新型的途径，也是对通过Ｉｎｔｅｒ－ｎｅｔ进行更紧密的国际合作的一种尝试。
お? On March 6-7, 1997, an international astronomical remote present observation (RPO) was made on Internet Relay Chat(IRC) first time. Seven groups in four countries, China, United States, Canada and Great Britain, used the 1 meter telescope of Yunnan observatory together by the way of remote present observation. Within minutes, images were “On-line” by FTP, and every one was able to get them by anonymous ftp and discuss them on IRC from different widely separated sites. The important advantage of this event is that all Internet connections were made via a local phone line connection to an Internet provider. The long-distance connections then were routed through the free Internet communications backbone, thus avoiding the extremely high cost of transcontinental long-distance telephone connections.The advantages of using this new medium are countless. Scientists now can take the observatory with them while on assignments anywhere around the world. Enhanced educational programs can also be achieved with this technology. In fact, another RPO test was made in Dec, 1995. However, we just used email to send and discuss images, at that time the sucesses of that one was limited.
