Total Lunar Eclipse Viewing Event

Let's observe the total lunar eclipse at the observatory!
We will observe the total lunar eclipse using binoculars and telescopes. The moon will start to eclipse at 18:50, reaching totality at 20:04. The total eclipse will reach its maximum at 20:34, and end at 21:03. From 18:00, there will also be an explanatory session inside the exhibition room where you can learn about the mechanism of the total lunar eclipse. Since it is still a cold season, don't forget warm clothing and hand warmers! Let's enjoy the long-awaited total lunar eclipse at the Galaxy Forest Observatory!
