On 25th September 2022 on 1500 towards 1600 Hong Kong SAR – Beijing Time, Sunday competition, naming and submission of proposal, and the 20 selected Exoplanetary systems…..When we look up in the sky, countless stars can be found shining in every corner. In the past, we only knew about the planets in our own solar system. Today, thanks to technology, the existence of extrasolar planets is well-proved. Now, we have the opportunity to name these exoworlds! The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has released 20 Exoplanetary systems to be named by the public around the world under its naming competition – NameExoWorlds 2022. In the 2019’s competition, a star system was named as Lionrock (host star HD 212771) and Victoria peak (exoplanet HD 212771b) by residents Hong Kong SAR –China, People’s Republic of China people.

To know more about the details of the competition, naming and submission of proposal, and the 20 selected Exoplanetary systems, you are welcome to join the “The NameExoWorlds 2022 Global Naming Competition – Announcement” in the Hong Kong Space Museum at the following time. The announcement will be held online in real-time too.

Those who are interested in astronomy or space science may have visited the  Hong Kong Space Museum, but in fact there are some other related education institutions in Hong Kong too. This time, we would like to introduce to you the Ho Koon Nature Education Cum Astronomical Centre located in 101 Route Twisk Tso Kung Tam Park, Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong SAR –China – People’s Republic of China…… Ho Koon Centre is a local school that actively promotes astronomy education, field study and environmental education. Its service mainly targets to students, but the Centre also organises public educational activities and conducts professional astronomical observation from time to time.

The Hong Kong Space Museum will guide you to the Centre, and to follow Ho Koon’s teachers to learn more about these local astronomical activities and equipment, including professional astronomical telescope. Audiences can also interact with the teachers at the end of the programme and ask any questions about the facilities or other topic related to astronomy or space science. Don’t miss it!

Speaker: Mr. CHIU Kam-hung (Assistant Curator) and Ms. KWAN Wing-ki (Museum Assistant) of the Hong Kong Space Museum, Tutors of Ho Koon Centre

On 21st May 2022 Saturday at 12 midday Hong Kong SAR – Beijing Time ….  A two hour Lecture speaker was live stream from Hong Kong Space Museum Venue: Lecture Hall, Hong Kong Space Museum perform in the Cantonese Dialect on Regardingly On凝望銀河中心－探索超級黑洞人馬座A*之秘 | Sagittarius A*: the Supermassive Black Hole at our Galactic Center….

On 12 May, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) revealed the first image or shadow of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). It is also the second black hole ever to be “seen” in human history.

EHT started observing the two black holes lurking at the centre of the M87 galaxy and the Milky Way in 2017. Sgr A*, our nearest black hole neighbour in the heart of our galaxy, is about 27,000 light-years away from Earth. Being about 2,000 times closer to Earth than the M87 black hole, the Sgr A* black hole should be an easier target to observe. However, why would its image come three years after the first image of the distant M87 galaxy? What are the challenges and difficulties of discovering, observing, and analysing this mysterious supermassive black hole?

In this lecture, we are honoured to have Prof Chan Chi-kwan, a member of the EHT team from Hong Kong, and the Associate Professor from the University of Arizona to introduce the characteristics of Sgr A* black hole and explain how to render the black hole image from mammoth amounts of data. The lecture will be live-streamed on the Space Museum’s YouTube Channel too. Therefore, whether you stay home or come to our Museum, you can also get to know this astronomy breakthrough with us!

【太空館活動】凝望銀河中心－探索超級黑洞人馬座A*之秘

「事件視界望遠鏡」計劃 (Event Horizon Telescope, EHT) 喺5月12日公布超級黑洞人馬座A* (Sagittarius A*, Sgr A*) 嘅第一張剪影影像，亦都係是人類史上第二個「睇」到嘅黑洞。

早喺2017年，EHT已着手觀測M87星系同銀河系中心嘅黑洞。位於銀河系中心嘅人馬座A*黑洞係目前已知離我哋最近嘅超大質量黑洞，距離地球約27,000光年，比M87黑洞近約2000倍，理應更易觀測。但係點解佢嘅「面貌」會比M87黑洞遲三年先首度面世呢？從發現、到觀測同分析呢個神秘嘅超級黑洞又有咩困難同挑戰？

喺今次嘅講座，我哋有幸邀請到EHT團隊中嘅香港成員，美國亞利桑那大學副教授陳志均教授為我哋拆解人馬座A*嘅特性，同講解如何從大量數據重組黑洞影像。講座更會喺太空館嘅YouTube頻道同步直播，所以大家無論安在家中，抑或親身嚟到現場都可以一齊了解呢個天文學研究嘅重大突破！

日期：2022年5月21日（星期六）

時間：中午12時至下午2時

地點：香港太空館演講廳

講者：陳志均教授（美國亞利桑那大學副教授）

Speaker: Prof. Yung Kai-leung, BBS (Chair Professor & Associate Head, Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University)

The Tianwen-1, China’s first Mars mission successfully landed on it in May, achieving another extraordinary feat in the recent Chinese Aerospace Industry. This first Mars exploration mission of China is unique that employed novel technology and engineering design and encounters exceptional challenges.

The Tianwen-1, China’s first Mars mission successfully landed on it in May, achieving another extraordinary feat in the recent Chinese Aerospace Industry. This first Mars exploration mission of China is unique that employed novel technology and engineering design and encounters exceptional challenges.

The Mars Landing Surveillance Camera (Mars Camera) is developed mainly by the research team of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It is a sophisticated space instrument mounting on the top surface of the lander platform of Tianwen-1, which monitors the landing status, the surrounding environment of the red planet and the operation status of the Zhu Rong rover. The Mars Camera is light in weight, yet strong and durable enough to withstand the huge impact shocks of 6,200 times Earth’s gravity. Moreover, it has to operate under low Martian temperature as well as overcome extreme temperature differences it experienced during its flight. In this lecture, Professor Yung from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University will talk about the challenges of the Mars mission and delineate the contributions of the Hong Kong research team.

A partial lunar eclipse will be visible in Hong Kong on November 19 (Friday). This is the second lunar eclipse this year, after the first one in May. Members of the public may enjoy this event during the evening when the Moon rises from the east-northeast horizon. At the time of moonrise at 5:38pm that day, the “maximum eclipse” stage has already ended. The Moon is leaving the umbra gradually and the partial eclipse ends at 6:47pm when the Moon exits the Earth’s umbra completely. The whole eclipse ends when the Moon leaves the penumbra at 8:06pm.

The Hong Kong Space Museum will live stream the partial lunar eclipse on that day. Curators will introduce the science behind lunar eclipse and share interesting titbits related to this astronomical phenomenon.

本港將在十一月十九日（星期五）出現月偏食天文現象，這次是繼五月的月食後，今年第二次出現的月食，市民可於黃昏月出時望向東北偏東的方向欣賞。當天月球於下午五時三十八分東升，其時「食甚」階段已經結束，月球正逐漸離開地球本影。到下午六時四十七分，月球「復圓」，完全離開地球本影。整個月食過程在晚上八時零六分當月球離開地球半影時結束。由於月食在月球升出時已經開始，因此這次現象又稱為「帶食出」。

香港太空館會於當日直播是次月食天文現象，並由館長們分享與月食相關的科學知識。

講者：蘇柱榮博士（香港太空館助理館長）、梁穎恩女士（香港太空館助理館長）

日期：2021年11月19日（星期五）

時間：下午5時30分至晚上7時
