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！

地點：香港太空館演講廳

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）
