EclipseConnect 2025 represents the pilot initiative of SEAYAN, developed through consultation with regional astronomy education leaders and designed to test collaborative potential across youth astronomy communities in ASEAN.
Timed with the upcoming total lunar eclipse on the night of 7–8 September 2025, this event aims to bring together astronomy clubs and student-led science teams from across Southeast Asia for a unified, real-time observation and outreach initiative.
Livestreamed Eclipse and Club Showcases
Livestreamed Eclipse and Club Showcases
SEAYAN is partnering with the NUS High Observatory in Singapore to give participating clubs a high-resolution view of the total lunar eclipse through an observatory telescope, livestreamed conveniently to their devices throughout the duration of the eclipse. This will allow participants to appreciate the rare beauty of a total lunar eclipse in a highly accessible fashion.
In addition, all participating clubs will receive the opportunity to conduct a short club showcase for a diverse international audience, for the purposes of outreach, on an online platform hosted by SEAYAN.

Club Showcases
Participating clubs will present about their regular astronomy sessions, unique projects, and the impact they have had within their local school communities. This segment offers students a platform to share how their clubs engage members, conduct outreach activities, and foster a passion for astronomy among their peers.
Astronomy-Themed Collaborative Escape Room
In this interactive virtual escape room, paired schools collaborate to solve puzzles based on lunar eclipse phenomena and celestial mechanics. By working together, students apply scientific concepts while developing communication and teamwork skills across borders.
Guided Eclipse Observation Session
Students will participate in a guided observation session led by the NUS High Observatory, which will provide live telescope broadcasts with expert commentary on lunar eclipse phenomena and key astronomical features. This educational segment offers real-time learning about eclipse mechanics while students observe alongside their regional peers.
