"Let's Go Stargazing" Gwangju Science Museum Renovates Planetarium

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The National Gwangju Science Museum, celebrating its 10th anniversary, has completed the renovation of its planetarium and will open it to visitors starting from the 13th of this month.

The planetarium is a dome-shaped theater that simulates various constellations, allowing viewers to observe them indoors.

Through this environmental improvement, the planetarium has removed the outdated projection system used for the past 10 years and installed a new state-of-the-art projection system.

As a result, it has been reborn as a space where visitors can experience various celestial content in clear 4K-level resolution.

At the planetarium, visitors can watch exciting stories set against the vast universe, such as "Grandpa&Zoe" and "Magic Globe."

During the trial screenings held last Christmas season, visitors praised the vivid and clear images displayed by the new video system.

In the future, the planetarium plans to offer various attractions, including dome concerts that use the dome-shaped screen to experience astronomical and climate phenomena through special video screenings.

Jeon Tae-ho, Acting Director, said, "We hope that students, who will lead Korea's future space science technology, can embark on space journeys and observe constellations at the planetarium, fostering their interest and dreams in space science."
