"The Moon Covering the Sun, No Sight for 10 Years" Solar Eclipse Observation Event on the 21st in Busan
Busan Geumryeonsan Training Center Offers Last 'Solar Eclipse' Family Experience of the 2020s

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] An observation event to watch the last solar eclipse (partial eclipse) of the 2020s is beckoning citizens. The next solar eclipse phenomenon will come in 10 years.
Busan City Geumryeonsan Youth Training Center announced on the 18th that it will operate the "2020 Partial Solar Eclipse Observation Event" from 2 PM to 6 PM on the 21st so that families can welcome the partial solar eclipse astronomical phenomenon together at the training center.
A solar eclipse is a phenomenon where the sun is obscured by the moon; when the entire sun is covered, it is called a total eclipse, and when only part is covered, it is called a partial eclipse.
The eclipse on the 21st is a partial eclipse, and according to the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, it is expected to start around 3:53 PM, reach its maximum coverage at 5:02 PM, and end at 6:04 PM.
In particular, this eclipse is the last solar eclipse observable in South Korea during the 2020s, and the next partial eclipse will only be visible in June 2030.
The Youth Training Center will hold various observation events to celebrate the partial eclipse, including astronomy lectures, eclipse observation, eclipse phenomenon photography, space science dome video viewing, astronomy crafts, and astronomy quizzes. All events are free to participate in, but parking fees apply.
Due to COVID-19 social distancing guidelines, visitors to the training center must wear personal masks. Also, if it rains or weather conditions worsen, the eclipse phenomenon cannot be observed, so the event may be canceled; inquiries should be made to the training center in advance.
