At the Shanghai Astronomy Museum, I felt like I had stepped into the set of a sci-fi movie

Walking 650 meters from Exit 8 of the subway to Century Avenue, the "silver bowl" stands out prominently. The diamond-shaped metal panels on the exterior wall reflect the sunlight, and up close you can see the fine seams where they are joined, like the building is wrapped in a shell of sci-fi vibes📡 Scanning the code to enter, I headed straight to the Universe Exhibition Hall. As soon as I entered, my eyes were grabbed by the Earth model hanging overhead: the Pacific Ocean’s blue wrapped in clouds, and the nearby moon glowing softly gray🌙 The space station model is right next to it, with the pipelines and patterns on the cabin clearly visible. While leaning on the railing to look, a nearby child suddenly shouted, "This is China’s space station!" Suddenly, this cold metal shell felt warm☀️ When I reached under the dome in the afternoon, the light from the skylight fell on the pillars, casting long slanted shadows. I stepped on the shadows and walked around half a circle, feeling like I had entered the set of a sci-fi film🕶️ I used to think science museums were "kids’ territory," but standing under those planet models made me realize: it turns the "distant universe" into something you can touch, see, and encounter — like the moment a child shouts "China’s space station," or the Earth model wrapped in glowing blue🌍 📕Visitor Tips: 1. Tickets for the Universe Theater must be booked at the machines upon entering; if you wait too long, you might only get a slot near closing time. 2. Lockers are free, so just stash your bags inside for a comfortable, light visit👟 3. Remember to check the opening hours of the attraction in advance to avoid wasted trips🚶 Shanghai Astronomy Museum
