The Shanghai Astronomy Museum, the world’s largest astronomy museum, has been unveiled in Shanghai to showcase humankind’s unremitting attempts throughout history to explore the vast universe. Visitors can see realistic replicas and interactive devices that demonstrate incomprehensible abstract concepts and famous experiments such as Spaghettification of black holes and the Foucault pendulum experiment. Located in Lingang Area, a newly launched section of the Shanghai free trade zone, the museum occupies a total area of about 58,600 square meters. The main body of the museum is divided into three themed sections of “home,” “cosmos” and “odyssey,” featuring popular scientific knowledge of the solar system, the observable universe beyond the solar system and the history of human research into astronomy and exploration of outer space.Photos: Chen Xia/GT
