ECLIPSE THE MOMENTS OF WONDER

The moon orbits the Earth approximately once a month. During this period, its position relative to the sun and planets changes, often leading to precious astronomical phenomena. These beautiful astronomical events, known as 'eclipses,' include solar eclipses when the moon obscures the sun, lunar eclipses when the moon enters the Earth's shadow, and other events like the Venus transit and Saturn transit where the moon obscures Venus and Saturn respectively. South Korean astrophotographer Kwon O Chul presents a dramatic commentary video featuring various moments captured with his companions along with CG. Screening time: 40 minutes (program + starry sky commentary).
