Exploring New Breakthroughs in Astronomical Science Popularization at the Sci-Tech Museum's Dome

This is a poster presented at the 7th Shaw-IAU Workshop on Astronomy for Education, organised by the IAU Office of Astronomy for Education (OAE, https://astro4edu.org/shaw-iau/7th-shaw-iau-workshop/). Title: Exploring New Breakthroughs in Astronomical Science Popularization at the Sci-Tech Museum's Dome Presenter:Zhao Ranzi (China Science and Technology Museum, Dome Theater) The CSTM's Dome Theater organized a science popularization observation live stream in 2024 during the arrival of C/2023 A3. Co-hosted by five observatories, the event spanned China from east to west, allowing global audiences to observe the comet continuously for 2.5 hours. Viewers interacted with hosts and experts live from the Dome Theater, generating 2.4 million views.In 2025, we held a dome concert on the Chinese traditional "Five Elements" (ancient names for the five planets). Leveraging the Digistar system's、Laser Show and film clips, a Chinese traditional folk orchestra performed live, leading audiences through an immersive experience of astronomy and traditional cultural art. Both activities achieved exceptional communication effects, offering valuable references for other domes. Collaborators:Song Nan (China Science and Technology Museum) About the 7th Shaw-IAU Workshop:The 7th Shaw-IAU Workshop took place 18 - 21 November 2025. The Shaw-IAU workshops focus on astronomy education for primary and secondary school students and teacher training both in universities and in service. This year's Education focus session on Teaching with authentic data and the Science focus is on Galaxies.More details can be found on: https://astro4edu.org/shaw-iau/Keep up to date with future Shaw-IAU Workshops and other opportunities at the IAU Office of Astronomy for Education by joining our mailing list https://astro4edu.org/mailing-list/ Follow the IAU OAE on Bluesky and Facebook under @astro4edu
