Light Up the Stars: Season of Eclipses

March is the season of "eclipses" (not the season of eating). This month features not only a partial solar eclipse visible from Macao but also a subtle and hazy penumbral lunar eclipse. The Macao Science Center Planetarium's "Light Up the Stars" astronomy popularization series will take you to appreciate the "dance of shadows" between the Earth, Moon, and Sun this season.
