DESCRIPTION:On 9 June 2026\, the IEEE GRSS Oman Chapter\, in collaboration 
 with the Remote Sensing and GIS Research Center\, Sultan Qaboos University
  (SQU)\, organized a technical session entitled "Applications of Remote Se
 nsing in the Field of Astronomy" for the staff of the Department of Astron
 omical Affairs\, Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs. The event w
 as held at the Remote Sensing and GIS Research Center\, SQU\, and was atte
 nded by 13 participants.\nThe session focused on the application of remote
  sensing and geospatial technologies in supporting astronomical observatio
 ns and research. Participants were introduced to the use of satellite remo
 te sensing for atmospheric monitoring\, cloud cover assessment\, dust and 
 aerosol analysis\, environmental monitoring\, and observatory site evaluat
 ion. The presentation also highlighted the integration of Geographic Artif
 icial Intelligence (GeoAI) with Earth observation data to improve geospati
 al analysis\, automate data interpretation\, and support decision-making i
 n astronomy-related applications.\nPractical examples and case studies rel
 evant to Oman were presented to demonstrate how remote sensing can contrib
 ute to lunar visibility studies\, environmental assessment for astronomica
 l observations\, and broader space-related scientific initiatives. The ses
 sion concluded with an interactive discussion on future collaboration oppo
 rtunities and the potential role of advanced geospatial technologies in en
 hancing astronomical research and operational activities. The event succes
 sfully strengthened participants' awareness of emerging remote sensing tec
 hnologies and their applications in the field of related astronomical appl
 ications.\n\nSultan Qaboos University\, Remote Sensing and GIS Research Ce
