Although it's Saturday and my husband has to drive to Hsinchu for work later on, the weather finally got better, so we decided to go out. It's not far from our place, so we rode our scooter to the mountains and visited the Danei Planetarium. The park area is quite nice, with several decorations that are good for taking pictures and entertaining children.
Tainan Astronomical Education Area / Nanying Planetarium (南瀛天文館)
Nanying Planetarium is an environmental education facility in Tainan City. The park consists of three areas: the Astronomical Observation Hall, the Astronomical Exhibition Hall, and the Astronomical Planetarium.
The Astronomical Observation Hall houses the country's largest diameter astronomical observation telescope, measuring 76 cm. It often holds astronomical lectures and explanations during special celestial events. The Planetarium mainly utilizes the Hubble Astronomical Telescope as the main display axis, with the 3D Astronomical Theater being the main highlight.
Due to low light pollution, the Danei District is recognized as the most suitable place for stargazing in southern Taiwan, earning it the reputation of "the hometown of stars." In the Nanying Astronomy Education Park, there are not only professional telescopes for the public to experience the beauty of astronomy but also a wealth of secrets and knowledge about the universe in the exhibition hall.
Astronomical Observation Hall: This is the oldest building in the park. It houses astronomical telescopes of various sizes for astronomical observation. During the day, visitors can enjoy views of Zengwen Creek meandering, river terraces, and the Moon World mudstone badlands from the stargazing platform. On Saturdays and during special astronomical events, night stargazing activities are also available.
Astronomical Exhibition Hall: The exhibition hall is designed with the "moon" as the symbolic image, taking into account the terrain and natural conditions. It employs high-tech virtual reality displays to provide an experiential exhibition design, creating an astronomical space that combines technology and fantasy. Through vivid, lively, and rich astronomical themes, along with special exhibitions on popular astronomical topics, it aims to inspire a love for astronomy among the public.
Planetarium: The building takes the form of a semi-circular sphere, symbolizing the image of the "sun." The star theater serves as the main axis of the exhibition and is the first in Taiwan to use a digital dome for 3D displays, employing the latest technology in the world.
