A partial solar eclipse will occur in Hong Kong SAR, China, People’s Republic of China on 20 April 2023 Hong  Kong SAR- Beijing Time , the eclipse magnitude is just about 0.03. The eclipse will not noticeably weaken the sunlight at that time. As the eclipse magnitude is small, observers may need a telescope to observe this solar eclipse. A specialised solar filter or an indirect way such as the projection method is essential for solar observation. Inadequate ways to observe the Sun may result in severe ocular burns…… Also the eclipse magnitude is just about 0.03. The eclipse will not noticeably weaken the sunlight at that time. As the eclipse magnitude is small, observers may need a telescope to observe this solar eclipse. A specialised solar filter or an indirect way such as the projection method is essential for solar observation. Inadequate ways to observe the Sun may result in severe ocular burns. The general public may also check the online platforms of the Hong Kong Space Museum to watch the live image of the solar eclipse on that day. The next partial solar eclipse in Hong Kong will occur on 22 July 2028, whose magnitude will even be smaller than that of this one.

Partial eclipse begins: the instant when the Moon’s limb contacts the Sun’s limb.

Greatest eclipse: the instant when the apparent centers of the Moon and the Sun are at the smallest separation. The eclipse magnitude reaches its maximum at this time.

Partial eclipse ends: the instant when the Moon’s limb leaves the Sun’s limb completely.

Eclipse magnitude: reflects how deep the Moon eclipses the Sun. The larger the magnitude is, the larger proportion of the Sun is covered.

The eclipse this time is a hybrid solar eclipse. In addition to the partial solar eclipse, there are some places on Earth where a total solar eclipse or annular solar eclipse can be observed. The central point of the eclipse is located at the South of the equator. The eclipse magnitude is larger when the observer is closer to the central point. In Hong Kong, the partial solar eclipse will begin around noon. It can be observed from many districts. However, the eclipse magnitude and duration will be slightly larger in the southeastern region. Interested observers may first consider places at Kowloon East or the eastern part of Hong Kong Island.

The partial solar eclipse begins at 12:34 pm, where the Sun is located at about 79 degrees above the southwest horizon at that time. The entire eclipse will end at 1:16 pm.

During at the Zhuhai Air Show 2022 featuring on the 8th November Tuesday towards Sunday 13th November 2022 at Zhuhai City, Greater Bay Area, Guangdong province, China People’s Republic of China   At the 14th China Air Show, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Satellite Intelligent Manufacturing Center project brought by the Shanghai Satellite Equipment Research Institute, the Eighth Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, was unveiled. It is reported that the project is an important part of Hong Kong’s “re-industrialization” strategy, and will also lay the foundation for the Eighth Institute to open up the international market for satellite production lines.

　According to media reports here, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Satellite Intelligent Manufacturing Center is expected to be completed and put into operation next year. As an important part of promoting Hong Kong’s re-industrialization, the center will be settled in Hong Kong and will become the first satellite production line in Hong Kong. As the first satellite production line in Hong Kong, the satellite intelligent manufacturing center project is an important window for China Aerospace to display to the outside world.

The Orion Astropreneur Space Academy in Hong Kong is an independent, non-political, and not-for-profit action-oriented leadership development academy for global young leaders with stellar and outer space aspirations. The Academy is a member of the global leadership development initiatives with other space onboarding and offboarding institutions such as the Laboratory for Space Research at the University of Hong Kong, and other forward-looking and space-related institutions.

OASA HK – Hong Kong is located in the Central of Tsim Sha Tsui, First Floor, Everglory Centre, 1B Kimberley Street, (Next to Observatory Road) Hong Kong SAR-China, People’s Republic of China.

When you look at the constellation Orion there is a nebula on the middle of the sword, where many stars are born. It is one of the closest nebulae to Earth in the Milky Way galaxy, making it more accessible to astronomers, so we know more about it than other nebulae. Hence, our OASA is a nurturing ground, where outgoing global executives would pass their legacy to future generations, working jointly on problems of tomorrow. It is an open platform where companies and leaders can cross-pollinate their nascent ideas and encourage collaboration for global citizens, because ultimately space is for all humankind. The Orion Astropreneur Space Academy (Hong Kong), known as OASA, accelerates the development of young global leaders through specially designed journeys and wicked challenges with the arrival of the NewSpace Economy.  

 It is a platform to accelerate talents and start-ups to enrich opportunities and understanding throughout the world, igniting this spark of transformation from great cities such as Hong Kong. Why? 

 Because the NewSpace Economy is already here but only a select few can sense its arrival. Because innovation does not happen by itself, but requires committed and skilled talents to make it happen, and the NewSpace economy creates massive opportunities for innovation.

 All innovation however, begins with the right entrepreneurial mindset. Until the entrepreneur appears, ideas are just good ideas and, at best, good intentions. All space missions should foster cooperation and not mistrust. A society free of suffering does not happen by itself; it requires openness, creation, and global cooperation. In fact, future joint space projects with youths may be the only way to counter global suspicion and geopolitical rivalries.

”Hong Kong is one of the best places in the world for entrepreneurs…and starting in 2020, one of the planet’s best hubs for entrepreneurship. Do you see what we see? Are you ready?”
