On the Month of July 2024 – Set against the city Region of China  we call home that is Hong Kong SAR, China, People’s Republic of China, Cathay Pacific Airways our new inflight safety video communicates essential information with great clarity and conserves Hong Kong’s many unique cultural elements, places, and people. It’s a showpiece that helps you feel connected while ensuring your safety. Enjoy the video and safe travels! Cathay Pacific Airways reveals its new inflight safety video that takes customers through important inflight safety procedures set against the dynamic backdrop of Hong Kong….

Told through the electrifying energy and vibrancy of the airline’s home city, the video was developed in close collaboration with the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) and the Civil Aviation Department (CAD) to embody all necessary safety protocols while educating customers in an informative and engaging way.

The safety demonstrations in the video are interwoven with the unique charms of Hong Kong, capturing the city’s iconic landmarks, bustling happenings, world-class arts and cultural attractions, natural landscapes and more.

Scenes were shot at various locations across the city to showcase the best of Hong Kong. Customers are transported to a dai pai dong, the quintessential local dining experience, for the “no smoking” announcement, before finding themselves amidst an exhilarating dragon boat race which provides the backdrop for the life jacket demonstration, while Shek O Beach sets the scene for the emergency and pre-takeoff procedures. Other locales include the shopping paradise of Causeway Bay, Xiqu Centre at the West Kowloon Cultural District, the iconic Peak Tram, Yau Ma Tei’s historic Tin Hau Temple and the serene Clearwater Bay Country Park, all of which culminate in a visually immersive experience for customers.

Replacing the current inflight safety video introduced over seven years ago, the new version will be progressively rolled out across Cathay Pacific flights from 1 August 2024 onwards.

Although concept is quite similar to SQ- Singapore Airlines but very International Iconic it features many numerous Hong Kong SAR’s Cultural Elements  from ancient to modern future of Chinese intangible Cultural Heritage.   – I think it’s great to showcase some of the amazing things about Hong Kong SAR, China, and People’s Republic of China. What I like especially is the backdrop of Hong Kong SAR is there, yet the director makes sure to zoom in and hone in on the safety details like the life vest and oxygen mask- it’s not just a safety video glossing over the safety aspects. Well done Cathay

Music is a unifying language that brings people together by transcending cultures and boundaries. We’re delighted to present Song of Cathay, a musical odyssey that moves us emotionally and forward. Our uplifting, inspirational and journey-like composition, crafted by leading sonic design agency, Sixième Son, is inspired by the vibrancy of Hong Kong as well as our love for travel and aviation. Performed by Asian Youth Orchestra, the piece articulates the warm sense of hospitality and the spirit of adventure. Delve into our creation process behind Song of Cathay, and discover how we put together a tune that evokes your fond memories of travel through our #MoveBeyond spirit.
” We proudly present the debut live performance of Song of Cathay by The Asian Youth Orchestra (AYO). Scored to inspire —— with its atmospheric tones, pentatonic structure, and influences from the Heart of Hong Kong, Song of Cathay is an auditory expression encapsulating one unifying goal—to capture our #MoveBeyond spirit and lift us all forward.”

Also  loving Really this version, not only because it shows Hong Kong and its culture but also because, unlike similar videos made by other airlines, Cathay keeps the emergency evacuation part delivered in a very straight, direct, and serious way, which is very critical…..

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.

香港於2023年4月20日會發生一次日偏食，但食分只有約0.03，屆時本港日光將不會明顯減弱。由於食分較少，觀測者可能需要使用望遠鏡才觀測到是次日食。在觀測太陽時，必需配備專門的太陽濾光設備，或透過投影法間接觀看。不當的觀測方法將有機會導致眼睛嚴重灼傷。

日偏食由中午12時34分開始，當時太陽處於離西南面地平線約79度的位置，至下午1時16分結束。歡迎大家欣賞此天文現象並即場留言討論

Visible matter only accounts for a mere 5% of the vast universe, while the other 95% is made of dark energy and dark matter, which cannot be seen and detected directly. Despite the adage that “seeing is believing”, how do scientists find evidence for the existence of these mysterious and invisible components in the universe? To explore the most baffling mysteries in astronomy, we are honoured to invite Dr. Hakeem Oluseyi, an internationally renowned astrophysicist from the United States, to elucidate the properties of dark energy and dark matter in the Space Museum!

Beyond his notable scientific research achievements, Dr. Oluseyi is also a passionate science educator, appearing on various programmes to share knowledge and inspiring the audience to live their dreams with his personal story. If you are interested in dark energy and dark matter, and Dr. Oluseyi’s journey to becoming a preeminent scientist, this lecture is not to be missed!

Dr. Hakeem Oluseyi, author of the critically acclaimed memoir, A Quantum Life: My Unlikely Journey from the Streets to the Stars, is an internationally-recognized astrophysicist, science TV personality, and global education advocate who has had a long, distinguished career in academia and scientific research. Most recently, he was stationed at NASA Headquarters, where he served as an Astrophysicist and Space Science Education Lead for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. In this talk, Dr. Oluseyi will talk about his work in “hacking stars,” explain dark energy and dark matter, and use his personal story to inspire the audience to chase their dreams no matter how unlikely they may seem.
