In a unique fusion of history and astronomy, the Shanghai Astronomy Museum, in partnership with the Dunhuang Research Institute, unveiled an exhibition titled "The Starry Sky of Dunhuang" on December 21. The display, a testament to Dunhuang's ancient connection with the celestial bodies, is the museum's first independently organized temporary exhibition.
