Constellations and upcycling: Seoul launches overnight eco-camping program

The Seoul metropolitan government is inviting families to swap indoor lighting for starlight next month, launching an overnight camping program designed to blend astronomical observation with environmental education. City officials said Friday that the eighth edition of the “Noh-eul Starlight Camping” event will take place from June 6 to 7 at Noh-eul Park, a sprawling green space within the capital's World Cup Park complex known for its sweeping sunset views.

The program, which debuted in 2017, is framed this year around the theme “Splashing Water, Shining Summer Nights.” Municipal organizers have expanded family-oriented programming to focus heavily on ecological stewardship.

The centerpiece of the weekend will happen late on the evening
