The program, which took place from January 30 to 31, 2026, featured a variety of astronomy experiences that families could enjoy together under the winter night sky.

Participants listened to fascinating stories about stars and space through lectures by astronomy experts in the planetarium, and learned how to find stars and photograph the moon using their smartphones and GPS. They also took part in a hands-on astronomy activity, "Making a Galileo Telescope," which helped them understand the principles behind astronomical observation tools.

Changwon Science Experience Center plans to continue offering seasonal astronomical observation events to expand opportunities for the public to enjoy scientific culture.
