Planning to step out and enjoy the moon tonight? 🌕 Don't forget to bookmark this quick guide to catch the absolute best view:

✨ For a Majestic Moon (5:30-6:00 pm): Look up about 20–30 minutes after sunset! Two cool science phenomena happen when the moon is low:
1️⃣ The Moon Illusion: When near the horizon, our brains perceive the Moon as bigger because we compare its size to familiar terrestrial objects like buildings and trees, tricking you into seeing a massive moon!
2️⃣ Rayleigh Scattering: Moonlight passes through a much thicker layer of atmosphere near the horizon. Short blue light gets scattered away, leaving only the longer wavelengths for your eyes to see! 🌅

✨ For Crisp Lunar Details (11:24 pm, around midnight): Look up when the moon reaches its highest point in the sky. Light passing through less atmosphere minimizes scattering, and dispersion, leaving lunar craters looking remarkably crisp and crystal clear — ideal for photography! 📸

今晚有冇打算出去打卡賞月？📸🌕唔想錯過最佳月色，快啲 Bookmark 呢個賞月指南啦：

✨ 視覺震撼版（月亮最巨型、金黃偏紅 - 傍晚時分）： 日落後大約 20–30 分鐘抬頭睇！當月亮低懸地平線，其實有兩個物理現象發生緊：
1️⃣月亮錯覺（Moon Illusion）： 大腦會將地平線附近嘅建築物做對比，自動「放大」月亮嘅視覺體積！
2️⃣瑞利散射（Rayleigh Scattering）： 月光要穿過極厚嘅大氣層，波長較短嘅藍光會被散開，咁我哋眼見到嘅就得返波長較長嘅金黃色同偏紅光線，先睇到咁靚嘅月色！🌅

✨ 極致清晰版（月面細節最銳利 - 凌晨時分）： 等月亮升到天空最高點嗰陣賞月。呢個時候大氣層同塵埃影響最少，月面輪廓就會最清晰，超適合影相打卡！📸

Are you ready for moon-gazing? 🌕 But here's a question: Is the Moon truly a perfect sphere?

While the Moon appears as a round ball from Earth, it is not a perfect sphere. Over billions of years, Earth's persistent gravitational pull, known as tidal forces, has stretched the Moon, creating slight bulges on the side facing us and the side directly opposite. This deformation results in an egg-like 🥚 or lemon-like 🍋 shape.

Curious to discover more fascinating scientific facts about the world around you? Come join us at HKUST Info Day on October 31st!

準備好中秋去邊度賞月未啊？🌕 考吓你：月亮實際上到底係咪一個完美嘅正圓球體？

雖然喺地球抬頭睇落圓滾滾，但其實月球嘅真實形狀更似一顆雞蛋🥚或者檸檬！🍋 數十億年嚟，地球強大嘅引力（潮汐力）不斷牽引月球，將佢兩側壓扁，令面向同背向地球嘅兩端微微鼓起。 所以其實月亮唔係一個正圓球體嚟㗎！

Have you started eating mooncakes yet? 🥮 Ever wondered why the salted egg yolk inside is always so dense, rich, and oily?
It’s everyday food science in action! During the salt-curing process, high salt concentration acts like a "water magnet," pulling moisture out of the yolk. This causes the proteins to separate from fats and condense into a firm, velvety gel. When baked inside the mooncake, the high temperature squeezes out those golden rich, alluring aromatic oils! 😋

你開始食月餅未呢？🥮 有無諗過點解月餅裏面嘅鹹蛋黃會咁香濃、緊密同埋流油？
呢個其實係日常食物科學！喺鹽醃過程中，高濃度嘅鹽分就好似「抽濕機」一樣，將蛋黃中嘅水分吸走。呢個過程會促使蛋白質凝固成緻密香滑的凝膠，同時將天然油脂擠壓分離出來。當月餅經過高溫烘烤嘅時候，呢啲金黃香濃嘅油脂就會爆漏出來！😋

[JUPAS FAQ Part 3]
[What are the differences between School-based admissions and Program-based admissions?]
The school-based admissions route allows extra time for the exploration of different subjects after entering HKUST. The School of Science offers two general School-based program choices – Science (Group A) (SSCI-A) program and Science (Group B) (SSCI-B) program. The Science (Group A) program is tailor-made for students interested in the fields of physical science. The Science (Group B) Program is more suitable for students who are interested in the fields of natural science. The students will declare their corresponding majors upon completing their first year of studies.

While the program-based admissions route is well suited for those who opt to specialize early on. Students who have developed clear interests in International Research Enrichment (IRE) program, Biomedical and Health Sciences (BMH) program, Science (Group A) with Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence (SSCI-A (AI)) program, Biotechnology and Business (BIBU) program or Mathematics and Economics (MAEC) program may apply and be admitted directly into the program.

Please note students who follow the school-based admissions route will have the opportunity to enter these programs via the Major selection exercise before Year 2. Therefore, students who are interested in IRE, BMH, SSCI-A (AI), BIBU or MAEC may also consider putting SSCI-A/SSCI-B program as their JUPAS Band A choices as well.

[What are the differences between Science (Group A) program and Science (Group A) with Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence program?]
Science (Group A) program is a School-based program for students who are interested in the field of physical sciences.
In the first year of study, students will take the Science Foundation courses as well as some of the language, elective and/or general education courses. Upon completion of the first year, students can opt to declare in one of the major programs under Science (Group A) program, or either Mathematics / Physics / Ocean Science and Technology / Chemistry with Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence.
Students who have developed clear interests in both physical science and artificial intelligence may apply for Science (Group A) with Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence (JS5181). They can opt to major in either Mathematics / Physics / Ocean Science and Technology / Chemistry with Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence upon completion of the first year of study.
**************************************************************************************************
[學院制入學和課程制入學有甚麼分別?]
學院制入學可讓學生利用首個學年去探索理學院各個學術領域的基礎知識。理學院提供兩個學院制入學課程：理學A組及理學B組。理學A組為對物理科學感興趣的學生而設，而理學B組則專為對自然科學感興趣的學生而設。學生在完成第一學年後可以選擇相應的主修課程。

以課程制入學則適合對個別專業有濃厚興趣的學生。對國際科研、生物醫學及健康科學、理學A組 — 人工智能主修延伸主修、生物科技及商學或數學與經濟學課程有明確興趣的同學可以直接報讀課程。

以學院制入讀的學生亦可以在首學年結束時選擇以上學科作為主修課程，所以對國際科研、生物醫學及健康科學、理學A組 — 人工智能主修延伸主修、生物科技及商學或數學與經濟學課程的同學亦可考慮將理學A組/理學B組作為Band A選擇。

[理學A組課程（SSCI-A）和理學A組 – 人工智能延伸主修（SSCI-A（AI））有甚麼分別？]
理學A組課程為對物理科學感興趣的同學而設。在第一個學年，學生會修讀理學基礎課程、語文、選修及 / 或通識教育課程。在完成首年課程後，學生可從理學A組課程中選擇主修，或選擇數學 / 物理學 / 海洋科學與技術 / 化學為主修，並修讀人工智能延伸主修。
而對物理科學及人工智能有明確興趣的同學則可報讀理學A組 – 人工智能延伸主修課程。同學可在完成第一學年後，選擇以數學／物理學／海洋科學與技術 / 化學為主修，並修讀人工智能延伸主修。

[JUPAS FAQ Part 2] [How to Strategically Arrange Your JUPAS Choices for HKUST School of Science]

Are you planning your JUPAS choices and wanting to maximize your admission chances for our School of Science programs? To give yourself the best possible advantage, keep these two strategic tips in mind:
1️⃣Prioritize our programs in Band A (A1, A2, or A3).
2️⃣Pair program-based choices together with school-based admission choices to create a safety net.
_______________________________________
💡 Quick Tips: How to Arrange Your Choices in Band A

If you are aiming for our specialized program-based choices, remember to always include the school-based programs in Band A as an alternative:
• For JS5101 International Research Enrichment: Remember to also place JS5102 Science (Group A) OR JS5103 Science (Group B) in Band A.

• For JS5181 Science (Group A) with Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence: Remember to also place JS5102 Science (Group A) in Band A.

• For JS5118 BSc in Biomedical and Health Sciences: Remember to also place JS5103 Science (Group B) in Band A.

[JUPAS 大學聯招 常見問題第二部分] 如何策略性排列香港科技大學理學院課程的 JUPAS 志願?

你是否正在規劃 JUPAS 志願，並希望提高入讀科大理學院課程的機會？為了讓自己獲得最大優勢，請牢記以下兩個策略性小提示：
1️⃣ 將我們的課程優先放在 Band A（A1、A2 或 A3）。
2️⃣ 將「學院制」與「課程制」課程配對組合，為自己建立一個安全網。

💡 實用小提示：如何在 Band A 排列你的志願

如果你的目標是我們特定的課程制課程，請記得務必將「學院制」課程同時納入 Band A 作為後備：
• 針對 JS5101 國際科研課程： 請記得同時將 JS5102 理學士（A組） 或 JS5103 理學士（B組） 放在 Band A

• 針對 JS5181 理學士（A組）人工智能延伸主修課程： 請記得同時將 JS5102 理學士（A組） 放在 Band A

• 針對 JS5118 生物醫學及健康科學理學士課程： 請記得同時將 JS5103 理學士（B組） 放在 Band A
