Description

The Edible Astronomy is an innovative educational workshop designed to make astronomy more accessible and engaging through the medium of food. Developed by the PBESA astronomy club, this program transforms complex astronomical concepts into interactive culinary experiences. Each activity combines science with creativity, allowing participants to explore the universe through taste and imagination.
Highlights include the Galaxy Drink, which explores the colors of galaxies through a vibrant beverage; Delicious Constellations, where sausages represent stars and magnitudes; and Astro Luk Chup, a twist on the traditional Thai dessert shaped into planets and meteorites. Other creations like the Mercury Mango Sorbet and Sweet n’ Sour Jupiter reflect planetary characteristics through flavor and presentation.
This initiative not only raises funds for the club but also fosters curiosity and scientific thinking in a fun, memorable way. Future expansions aim to introduce more space-themed dishes, continuing to blend astronomy with culinary art.
