Are you interested in space? What do you think of watching a lecture given in space?
The Shenzhou-16 astronauts gave their first science lecture(讲座) on the afternoon of September 21 from the Tiangong space station to students around the world.
During the 48-minute lecture, the astronauts Jing Haipeng, Zhu Yangzhu and Gui Haichao first greeted students and showed their living and work areas. They also shared their experiences in space. The astronauts then performed several experiments(实验) to show physical phenomena(现象) in the special environment inside the space station.
They invited students to do similar experiments on the ground to find the differences, as well as answered their questions.
Five classrooms were set on the grounds including one at the gym of Beihang University in Beijing. More than 2400 students and teachers from the university and other schools attended the "ground class" at the gym.
"I felt very privileged to watch the lecture, which showed our nation\s power in science and technology," said Li Baixuan, a student from Beihang Experimental Primary School. "The astronauts showed us what science and technology can achieve. I wish to fly to space someday like them. "
The activity marked the fourth lecture of the "Tiangong Class" series. The lecture not only reminded people how important it is to develop Space technology, but also encouraged many children to develop an interest in science and even dream of becoming great scientists.
