Gwangju National Science Museum Operates Nighttime Astronomical Observation Program

The National Gwangju Science Museum will hold a nighttime astronomical observation event where visitors can enjoy the winter night sky.

On the 14th, the Gwangju Science Museum announced that it will operate the Starlight School, Night Sky Observation Leader, and Lightning Observation programs at the Starlight Observatory.

The Starlight School is an educational program for citizens interested in astronomy and space, and it will be held on the 17th of this month.

Participants can experience space travel in the planetarium, find seasonal constellations, and observe celestial bodies using the largest 1.2m telescope in domestic science museums.

The Night Sky Observation Leader program is a telescope experience education program where participants learn about astronomical telescopes and use them directly, scheduled for the 18th.

Participants will set up astronomical telescopes themselves, freely operate them, and observe celestial bodies. They can also photograph celestial objects with their smartphones and print the photos they took as souvenirs.

The Lightning Observation is a same-day recruitment educational program operated on days with clear weather ideal for astronomical observation, focusing on celestial observation at the Starlight Observatory to fully enjoy the night sky.

The January Lightning Observation sessions are scheduled for the 16th and 30th, with operation decisions made at 10 a.m. on the day based on weather conditions.
