The National Geographic Center Observatory is an observatory located in Yanggu-gun, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province. It was built near the exact center of the Korean Peninsula so that visitors can look at the sky from the center of our country, and opened in 2007. At the observatory, visitors can observe stars directly through exhibition commentary programs and, while touring the observatory, hear detailed explanations about constellations and planets. It is also equipped with exhibition rooms offering the latest astronomical information and various learning experiences, a planetarium where visitors can enjoy a digital virtual night sky, and more.
