Tropical Storm Space Show … The strange land is spreading.

Show of Tropical Night Saints …

Travel Destination Recommended by Korea Tourism Society of this Month "Starry Astronomical Observatory"

It is the astronomical observatory where you can immerse yourself in the heart of the night sky with countless glittering stars. Most observatories are located at high altitudes where there is no light pollution and air pollution. The Korean Tourism Organization (KNTO) has chosen "Astronomical Observatory with Stars" as the recommended travel destination for this month. It's also a good place to forget about tropical weather for a while.

▦ Meet Dr. Apollo, Hwacheon Cho Kyung-chul Observatory

The Cho Kyung-chul observatory is located at the top of Gwangdeok (1,010 m), the most westerly part of Hwacheon. It is an astronomical observatory named after Dr. Cho Kyung-chul (1929 ~ 2010), a maternal-type astronomer of his neighbor's grandfather. He has always had the nickname "Dr. Apollo". At the time of the launch of Apollo 11 in 1969, it was broadcast from the scene that fell on the chair that was so excited during the simultaneous interpretation of the live broadcast. Cho Kyung-chul, who is the hometown of Pyongbuk, recommends Gwangdeok Mountain as the site of the Observatory where he can see the northern lands in his life. The Astronomical Observatory, originally built under the name of "Gwangdeoksan Astronomical Museum", was renamed "Cho Kyung-chul Observatory" after its completion.

The place where the observatory is located is high and there is no light, so you can observe the night sky over 130 days a year. More than 100,000 people visited the museum in four years. The Astronomical Observatory will provide a free commentary on astronomical observations and astronomical observations at 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9 pm in the afternoon. The "Starry Night", which is different from other astronomical observatories, is a paid program. Part 1 will be a lecture of the director of the astronomical observatory of Yoo Ju-sujeon, and the second part will be followed by the astronomical observation "rest of the light of the stars". Through his lectures, he breaks the prejudices and misunderstandings on astronomy and falls into ecstasy by observing the night sky at the time of observation. We realize how small the earth is, we think it's the whole world, and extend our thinking into a vast, infinite universe.

The astronomical observatory observes every hour the star cluster and nebula of the New General Catalog (NGC) on the principle of "seeing the stars all night on a clear day". Therefore, in the summer, heavy clothing and carpets are essential, and camping chairs are an option. It is best to lie in the carpet for the night sky.

Starry Night Star family trip, nutrition Firefly Observatory

Gyeongbuk Nutrition is the darkest area of ​​the country at night. The International Sky & Sky Association (IDA) has designated Asia as the "International Park of Night Sky Protection" (IDS Park) for the first time in Asia. The Firefly Ecopark, opened in 2000, operates a firefly observatory, an eco-school, a youth training center and a boarding house. Because there are no private houses around, you can enjoy a glittering star and fireflies in the night sky.

The observatory observes blackheads and red flames using the solar telescope of the secondary observation dome during the day, and observes the planets, the nebula, the cluster of stars, the galaxy and the moon at night. A professional commentator tells the story of seasonal constellations and features, mysterious and exciting stars. When you enter the astronomical observatory, you first observe the constellation with the 4D imaging system in the planetarium. At night, the stars are observed with a 406.4 mm telescope and four secondary telescopes on the main observation dome. The day-long astronomy and firefly camps can be booked in family units (150,000 won for 4 people). When constellations begin, adults prefer more than children.

The Royal Patch is a major habitat for fireflies. As the sun sets, the rocks of the Suhha Valley are raised to a height fed by firefly larvae. There are four types of fireflies, including fireflies, late fireflies, paraffin fireflies and unmounted fireflies. It is a natural museum where we also observe rare insects such as beetles and beetles. At the Observatory, late fireflies will be explored between late August and early September.

Les Les The eyes of the giant & # 39; like Shinsegae,

The left bank (657m) is the highest peak of Jeongpyeong and Cheongju. There is no light in the city around, so you can see the clear night sky. The observatory of the surrounding planet has the largest refracting telescope in Korea. The 356 mm refraction telescope, located in the middle of the main chamber, can be enlarged up to a maximum of 700 times the length of the mirror. So we call it the giant's eyes.

The 1st floor astronomical projection room is an installation that sits on a chair and crosses the night sky through a domed screen. When one or two stars appear on the screen, cheers begin everywhere. It's even more fantastic when the constellations propagate with the images. Legend has it that the swan swan and the virginity of the eagle cross the Milky Way. The second floor is the Space Lab that solves questions about the universe. Everyone explained what they ate on the boat, how to sleep, how to handle the toilet, and so on. Rocket simulations, which create rockets across the screen and fly in space, are most popular among children.

Outside of the Observatory, the lush forests of the natural recreational forest on the left are deployed. Meditation bridges suspended in the air at the entrance of the recreational forest. It is 230m long, so watch carefully. My legs contract and vertigo drifts. The actual height is only 50 meters, but it's the ceiling cliff.

theme Park astronomical attractions with stars flowing, Songam Space Center

Song-am Space Center in Yangju is an astronomical theme park with an astronomical observatory, a space center as an educational space, a cable car with a view, and hotels and restaurants. If you have a large number of visitors, you may not be able to see each individual.

When you step on the lawn, the first large dome-shaped space center will meet the public. The interior of the dome is a planetarium that digitally reproduces the night sky. On a hemispherical screen, a realistic image is unfolded as if it 's been a trip into space. In the Star House, which is attached to the Space Center, it is possible to accommodate couples, families and groups of up to 10 people.

the starting point of the cable car On the first floor of the elevator, a large black and white photograph of the founder Umonbo is attached. President Um, who has succeeded in the steel industry, remembers the childhood of stars in the mountains and has made this facility a dream place for young people. If you ride a 627m cable car, you will finally see an observatory. I observe the sun during the day and the moon and the stars at night. When you get off the cable car, humanoid robots show humans.

Nighttime observations begin by looking at the constellations visually from the outdoor terrace and listening to the explanations. In the Galilean tube (secondary observation room) equipped with various telescopes such as reflex type and refraction type, you can see larger and lighter stars than you have seen at the naked eye. The Newton Pavilion, which owns the first 600mm telescope manufactured with domestic technology, observes the spectacular aspect of the most spectacular real-time.
