Gwangju Science Museum "Let's Observe the Summer Night Sky with a Celestial Telescope"

The National Gwangju Science Museum will operate the nighttime celestial observation programs 'Starlight School' and 'Night Sky Observation Captain' on the 26th and 27th, respectively.

Starlight School is open to anyone interested in astronomy and includes fascinating astronomy stories set against the backdrop of the universe, seasonal constellation spotting, and celestial observation using the largest aperture starlight observatory main telescope in domestic science museums.

Night Sky Observation Captain is open to families or teams of up to four participants from third grade elementary school and above. The program involves learning about the types and principles of celestial telescopes, assembling and operating the telescopes themselves, and freely observing celestial bodies.

Participants can take celestial photos directly using the telescope and their personal mobile phones.

Depending on weather conditions, if celestial observation becomes difficult, alternative programs such as making a miniature model of the 1.2m main telescope at the Starlight Observatory will be offered.
