Professor Zheng Yongchun, known as “Uncle Mars,” is a famous science communicator in China. He makes space knowledge exciting for young people. He recently became the director of the Shenzhen Science and Technology Museum, where he continues to find creative ways to teach science.

Zheng began writing about science ten years ago while working as a space scientist. He noticed that many people knew little about space topics like Pluto, so he started writing simple articles online. “At first, I wrote just for fun,” he said. When readers liked his writing, he continued and eventually published his first book, Pluto Flyby.
