Located in the Heart of Hong Kong central of Victoria Harbour in which locate looking at the iconic Megatroplis HongKong Island city landscape from the opposite is the Hong Kong Space Museum  香港太空館 in which located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR, China –People’s Republic of China..  in which is one of the most international iconic buildings architecturally due to its hemispheric round dome in which is iconic known as one of Hong Kong’s local most cherish bread pastries the Pineapple Bun – Bolo Bao due to the pineapple ceramic texturing tiles of the dome structure that resembles the delicious texturing of the Pineapple Bun .. In which on In June 2014, the Hong Kong Government listed the pineapple bun as a part of Hong Kong’s intangible cultural heritage. … Despite the name, it does not traditionally contain pineapple; rather, the name refers to the look of the characteristic topping (which resembles the texture of a pineapple)……

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

During the week of 20th May 2022 In an announcement CNSA – China National Space Administration– Chinese Academy of Sciences will launch an optical telescope with a diameter of 1.2 meters to search for habitable exoplanets in the immediate vicinity] Chinese scientists have proposed a sky survey program through space telescopes to search for habitable terrestrial planets outside the solar system about 32 light-years away from the earth. If implemented, this will be the first international space exploration mission dedicated to finding habitable terrestrial planets around nearby sun-like stars.

Ji Jianghui, a researcher at the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the project leader of the “Nearby-habitable Planetary Survey Program”, introduced that the “Nearby-habitable Planetary Survey Program” will observe about 100 sun-like stars about 32 light-years away from the earth for a long time, which is expected to be the first time. The discovery of habitable zone terrestrial planets around them, especially “Earth 2.0” (planets with a size, orbit and environment very similar to Earth), achieve a major breakthrough in “from 0 to 1”. It is estimated that this plan is expected to discover about 50 terrestrial planets. Scientists will give information such as the number, true mass and three-dimensional orbits of habitable planets and “super-Earths” (exoplanets several times to 10 times the mass of Earth) through a detailed census of the nearby planetary systems in the solar system.

According to the plan, a high image quality, low distortion, high stability optical telescope with an aperture of 1.2 meters will be sent into the Halo orbit of the second Lagrangian point of the Sun-Earth system, and will maintain stable operation in this orbit for at least 5 years Time, during which 100 sun-like stars will be scientifically detected, and each star will be observed no less than 50 times.

As keyboarding, writing also uploading this post, on a 27th August 2017 Sunday – Auckland, New Zealand Night it was a stormy windy wintery gale night in which during the weekend it was progressively cloudy into the night…..As during the weekend of Saturday also its previous days and nights the weather was extremely generous, progressively unveiling of the terminator from the New Moon.. It was pretty much an eventfully August Month with the Partial lunar eclipse, also the with the Solar Eclipse that transited from the top Corner of the West Coast to the Lower Corners East Coast off the United States.. With impressive live on so many layers on social…

The Earth Light helps the Her, Luna to smile back at you in all directions..
One Crater can houses filled with many cities within..
Few days from the New Moon, in which previously it was a Solar Eclipse that ran across the west to east coast of the United States..
A distance shoot of Mare Crisium with it’s cratered lacy embroidery…..
As the Earth Shadow moves with the Terminator unveiling, Luna Smiles more with her wedding dress on..
The crescent moon Luna resembles a wedding dress with cratered embroidery lacy textures with a a mare silk satin lining…
Some times when you look at the circumference, it like looking at the edge of a wedding dress silhouettes….

Watching the progressively the moon as it sits in the Constellation Virgo the Virgin among with the Gaseous Planet Jupiter in her Bodice of her dress..  currently a throughout the week from the moon in unveiling its terminator veil towards the Waxing Gibbous progression,  in which having that  crescent you can see the slight Shadow depth indentations of the craters in which, in which seeing a softer Sun and  Earth light that’s been lighted on the moon…

One Mare crisium featured with times frozen Luna mantle layering features..

In which you can see the curvature Luna Circumferences silhouettes of edge like looking at the edge of the lacy cratered A-line wedding dress with a slight background light, in which without the harshness of the full moon that could wash out all that detailing..  Among that detailing is that you can see the Luna Surface contours like silk crested fabric lining of that wedding dress under that cratered lacy embroidery texturing…

She awakens; she raises with as her ship the Tempest wakes up to… With one deep awaken breath air… “We made it… “

“Mass Effect- Andromeda” is coming soon on spring 2017, in which The Andromeda Initiative in which fan of the Mass Effect have been invited to this initiative is for the testing, orientation phase in which begins on 7th November 2016, to see what the outlook, feel, experience after Commander Shepard’s storyline… as the game begins to take shape in beyond the Home Galaxy, The Milky Way.. as Andromeda is widely awaited for since 2015,  to explore the nearest Galaxy from our own..

As you can see here two officers in N7 environmental battle armoured suites, making ways on the moon Luna paying their respects to whom the crew of Apollo 11 -20th July 1969 explored long time before them in taking  those first steps into an adventurously curiosity unknown as they see the very first foot prints on the moon, on the sea of ttranquilitywith the Eagle Luna Lander..

Has this invitation begins, you’ll be given Orientations missions in getting to know your environments in between your chosen character, or characters, female or male characters of Ryder,  with training as you become familiar with the eenvironmentals you’re in your new world Galaxy.. as this story is after Commander Shepard’s  in which takes you. This time is establishing home for humanity in the Andromeda after a long warring years with the reapers… In which has taken its toll in a torn up galaxy the Milk Way

Mass Effect: Andromeda – Coming Spring 2017 to PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, and Xbox One

She awakens, she rises with as her ship the Tempest wakes up to.. With one deep awaken breath air… “We made it… “

As “Mass Effect- Andromeda” builds up for the launch in early 2017 as the journey takes you beyond the Commander Shepard’s time.. This time is establishing home for humanity in the Andromeda after a long warring years with the reapers.. in which has taken its toll in a torn up galaxy the Milk Way.. The premise of Andromeda is quite exploratory as to like the early days of Star Trek, the formation of the United Federation of Planets.. Where there’s still a lot of exploration and pushing those boundaries and yourself a the main female protagonist is named or model character by one of the NASA’s top gun Astronauts Sally Ride..  as to Commander Shepard  is model after of Apollo Astronaut Alan Shepard..   in which the female protagonist is awaken after her ship looks larger than the Shepard’s Normandy  Tempest..  in this  we explore the behind the scenes of the of what goes into her journey when she awakens in the location of the Andromeda Galaxy ..
