"This is the Long March 5?" Recently, a video of a boy visiting a planetarium and discovering "full of mistakes" went viral on the Internet, arousing the attention and heated discussion among netizens.
According to media reports, a parent took their children to visit an astronomical experience center, and the children discovered that there were many mistakes in the knowledge of aerospace science, and pointed out the problem angrily while watching.
The original video of the Long March No. 3 said that the Long March No. 5 was the Long March No. 5, and the separation order of the Long March 5 was also wrong.
In this regard, the planetarium said that it had received feedback and listened to the suggestions carefully. At the same time, it also thanked the boy for his correction. It will be revised immediately and prevent such things from happening.
"This is the place to educate children universally. As a result, no children know much, and this should be taken seriously." This sentence of netizens expresses the social sentiment behind the heated discussion.
A popular science video has made so many low-level mistakes. If it is not pointed out, the mistakes may continue to exist. I don’t know how many visitors have been misled.
The science and technology museum "overturned" in the accuracy of knowledge, not only does not play an educational role, but also misleads children. It is not right to make such a low-level mistake.
For a long time, the Science and Technology Museum has been the main front of popular science work, and it also undertakes the social responsibility of popular science education.
It can be said that the use of every picture, every description, and every explanation in the Science and Technology Museum must be accurate and correct.
The transmission of accurate information should become the "basic operation" of the Science and Technology Museum.
In addition, the popular science of astronomy, especially the knowledge of aerospace, has many aircrafts, and the separation sequence is complicated. It involves a lot of "hard-core" professional knowledge, and requires careful treatment by the staff, as well as careful inspection in the process of editing copywriting, pictures, and videos.
The planetarium said that it would make corrections immediately after being pointed out by the child. It should also take this opportunity to check the accuracy of other knowledge in the museum, including the accuracy of copywriting, videos and pictures, etc., which should not be ignored.
It is these subtleties that give a glimpse of the steadfastness and seriousness of popular science work.
The most important thing is that other science and technology museums should also take this as a warning and take science popularization work seriously, especially the relevant details, so as not to be embarrassed after being pointed out by the visitors.
