[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] The first citizen observatory in the Yeongnam region, 'Gimhae Observatory,' has been newly reborn.

Gimhae City announced on the 16th that it has remodeled and reopened the Gimhae Observatory with 1 billion KRW in national funds and 150 million KRW in city funds.

The overall atmosphere of the exhibition hall was improved through wall and floor remodeling, exhibition improvements, and replacement of heating and cooling systems.

Additionally, the planetarium projector was replaced with a hybrid planetarium projector, which will undergo a pilot operation until the end of this month and will be fully operational from March.

The hybrid projector projects celestial images using an analog projector that displays 1 million stars and a 4K-class laser projector together.

Although the projection room is smaller compared to other observatories, it has the advantage of displaying clearer projected images.

In particular, the space videos projected through the digital projector give a feeling as if exploring the universe.
