Hong Kong’s first astronaut Lai Ka-ying and her two fellow Shenzhou-23 crew members will deliver a live lecture from space for students and teachers in the city and neighbouring Macau.

Hong Kong authorities revealed on Saturday plans for live broadcasts of “Tiangong Class” to take place soon, without specifying the date and time.

The activity, jointly organised by the Hong Kong and Macau governments and the China Manned Space Agency, includes an expert lecture, an in-orbit demonstration and a question-and-answer session to showcase the environment in space.

Hong Kong’s Education Bureau will arrange for primary and secondary schoolteachers and students to watch the live broadcast on campuses on the day of the event, while a delegation from Macau will visit the city to attend “Tiangong Class”.

A live online broadcast will be arranged on the Information Services Department’s website and Facebook page, as well as local television stations.

“This will be a valuable aerospace science education activity, allowing students to watch live demonstrations of science experiments conducted in the unique environment of space, with a view to enhancing their knowledge of aerospace science and stimulating their interest in learning,” a spokesperson said.

Open Questions

  • What is the exact date and time of the live broadcast?

The national autumn progress map is released! Autumn begins late in many places in the north, and cold air will promote the expansion of autumn territory

The China Weather Network released a map of the national autumn process. As of September 3, autumn has begun in the Northeast, northwest and other places. However, autumn is generally late in most parts of the Northeast. Harbin, Changchun and other cities have entered autumn 7 to 12 days later than normal. In the coming week, the frequent southward movement of cold air will accelerate the process of autumn in the north, with temperatures dropping by up to 10°C. The public is reminded to add clothing to prevent cold and autumn dryness.
