GSHS Observatory

The GSHS Observatory is located at Gyeonggi Science High School (GSHS) in Suwon, in South Korea's Gyeonggi Province.

About GSHS Observatory

Gyeonggi Science High School, the institution behind the observatory, was founded in 1983 as the first science high school for gifted students in South Korea. Beyond this connection, detailed public information about the observatory's own instruments and programmes is limited.

Location & getting there

Suwon is a major city in Gyeonggi Province, just south of Seoul, placing the observatory within South Korea's densely populated capital region.

Visiting GSHS Observatory

As a facility attached to a specialised secondary school, access is likely limited to students, staff, and organised programmes rather than general public visits. Check with the school directly for any visiting information before planning a trip.

At a school built to nurture young scientists, an observatory is a natural place to introduce the idea that the night sky holds fixed, findable points. A named star's coordinates can be traced from Suwon just as from any other site with a clear view of the sky. Name a star and look up its coordinates in our catalogue.
