For those of you who want to see the shining sun with your own eyes, pay attention to the BEXCO square in Busan. It is hard to see the sun shining brightly in the sky with bare eyes. Using the solar telescope and white light refracting telescope, you can observe the sun blazing directly on spot, not the sun shining white.
The hot sun shines on us during the day, and the moon and stars softly light up over our heads at night. For those of you who believe the rabbit lives on the moon, and who want to see the planet orbiting around the sun with the earth, we have prepared a chance to observe. You can observe the surface of the moon that lights up our path on a dark night, and the rings of Saturn famous for their beauty.
Also, We have prepared the astronomical space experience booth. Let's understand the principles of astronomical telescopes that allow us to be our eyes and see the distant universe and let's learn how to observe space using the telescope. You can make lights that can change anywhere in the dark to where the stars are floating. Let’s become the star and you can move the space like the star.
You can become a hitchhiker swimming and traveling the star-sea in BEXCO.
