Gwangju National Science Museum Hosts "Let's Observe the Big Full Moon Supermoon" Program

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The National Gwangju Science Museum announced on the 10th that it will hold the "Returned Supermoon" program to observe the largest full moon of the year, the supermoon.

A supermoon refers to a full moon that appears much larger and brighter than usual because the distance between the Earth and the moon becomes closer.

The special supermoon observation program, "Returned Supermoon," will be held on the 13th of this month, and participation in the program will be recruited on a first-come, first-served basis through the National Gwangju Science Museum's online integrated reservation system.

Participants can listen to explanations about the moon's terrain and names, and directly observe the supermoon through high-performance astronomical telescopes, including the 1.2m aperture primary telescope of the Starlight Observatory, the largest among domestic science museums.

In addition to the observation event, participants can experience making moon models and take photos of the moon themselves. The astrophotographs taken can be printed on-site and received as souvenirs.

The event may be canceled if astronomical observation becomes difficult due to weather conditions, and more detailed information can be found on the National Gwangju Science Museum website.
