Looking up at the vast starry sky, let's explore the mysteries of the universe together

📍Location: No. 138, Xizhimen Outer Street, Xicheng District, Beijing ⏰Opening Hours: 9:00-16:30 (entry stops at 16:00), closed on Mondays 🎫Ticket Information: 100 RMB 🚇Transportation: Exit D, Zoo Station, Line 4, Beijing Do you know what a "cosmic lighthouse" is? How long is the lifespan of the Sun? How does the "China Sky Eye" (FAST) observe the universe? You can find answers to these questions at the Beijing Planetarium. The Beijing Planetarium consists of two halls, A and B. The "Cosmic Odyssey" exhibition in Hall B is a permanent exhibition. "The exhibition content is not limited to traditional basic astronomical knowledge. Considering the viewing needs of different audiences, it comprehensively and vividly displays knowledge related to the universe and the latest frontier dynamics through static displays, dynamic displays, and interactive experiences." In the Moon Meteorite Hall, a 1:1 scale model of the "Yutu" lunar rover attracts many visitors to take photos. "Yutu" is China's first lunar rover, which landed in the Bay of Rainbows on the lunar surface in December 2013 to conduct lunar exploration. The "Meteorite Tribe" exhibition area displays 20 selected meteorites from the museum's collection. Most of the meteorites come from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, with a few from the Moon and Mars. "This slide is so much fun!" Many children are enthusiastically playing in the "Stars Accompany" exhibition area. There is a slide between two brightly colored spheres, with the larger sphere representing a red giant star and the smaller one representing a white dwarf star. These two stars orbit and interact with each other, and children slide from the large sphere to the small sphere, symbolizing the material being attracted from the red giant to the surface of the white dwarf. The "Cosmic Lighthouse" exhibition area uses a tall dynamic interactive model to display a typical dense celestial body in the universe—a pulsar. Pulsars release energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, with radio beams periodically sweeping across the Earth, much like lighthouses guiding ships at sea, hence the name "cosmic lighthouse." The exhibition on the basement level of Hall B allows visitors to experience a wonderful journey through the universe. The "Cosmic Evolution" dynamic sculpture showcases the formation and evolution of the universe, kicking off the journey through the cosmos. Then, step out of the solar system to search for "exoplanets." Turn the dial to light up the "cosmic tree" and learn about the multi-level "celestial system." Finally, engage in "space-time travel" and enjoy the fun of roaming the universe.
