Exploring Night Sky

Since ancient time, human beings have been curious about and fascinating with the remote sky. This curiosity and fascination have boosted the invention of various techniques in observational astronomy and, on the other hand, the spread of mythology about constellations under cultural influences. This course introduces the mythology in both the East and the West, stimulating students to ponder on the cultural significances behind the stories. In addition, students are encouraged to practice basic techniques in observational astronomy, acquiring knowledge through experiential learning.

Ms. Mandy Yau: Bad Days and Good Mood

Ms. Mandy Yau, a student majoring in Cultural and Religious Studies, was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma at the age of fifteen. She had three relapses within six years and the malignant cells spread to her brain when she was travelling in Tibet in 2017. She worried that her family had to pay for expensive treatment to control her medical condition, but she felt love in the worst of times. Her friend raised money for her treatment through a head shaving event and she also received a lot of encouragement from "netizens".
