After the outdoor observation, some students who love photography took photos of Hoshino's works with their cameras to record the beauty of the starry sky。At 6:00 AM, with the rising sun, a ray of sunrise poured over the flag of the Astronomical Association, and the observation activity also ushered in the end。

On the morning of October 1, the students carried out the traditional climbing activities of the Astronomical Association。On the way to the mountain, the students enjoyed the pleasant scenery of the mountain field, listened to the teacher Wu Jiuru and Yao Jia explain, understand a lot of knowledge about biology and geography, but also picked fresh sour dates as snacks along the way。The process of going down the mountain is very difficult, the students help each other, advance and retreat together, showing a valuable collective consciousness。
