Aim to collect and edit the East Asian legends and traditional stories relating to stars and Universe. “Stars of Asia”: Asian Mythology and Legend of Stars and Universe

“Starry Book Fair”

You are Galileo We distribute “You are Galileo Telescope" for children living in Asian countries and others. Using “You are Galileo Telescope", children enjoy watching planets, stars and satellites as Galileo did. Through these observations, children shareed the surprise and discovery that Galileo experienced.

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, July 2009 Kottamia, Egypt, October 2009 You are Galileo

We announced interesting astronomical events on the web and provide various opportunities to observe the stars and the universe. We asked people register the counter which shows how many people see and enjoy the events together. We hoped 10 million people enjoy the night sky during IYA2009. “Look up the Sky!” : Ten-Millions‘ Star Gazing 730,7600 people registered!

Planetariums all over Japan joined under the campaign "Here, There, Everywhere, IYA!" during the IYA2009. There are about 300 planetariums in Japan with over 5 million audience per year. Let’s go to Planetarium!

Restoration of Galileo’s Telescopes

“Solving puzzle of the Universe years since Galileo‘s observation” This exhibition aims to introduce how our vision of the universe has changed by telescopes and observational technologies since Galileo‘s observation. The exhibition was held at Tokyo in June 2009 and traveled to Sendai, Niigata, Nagoya, and Osaka.

Do you think the IYA2009 helped public awareness on the astronomy and space sciences? No 2.7% Overwhelming majority people think the IYA2009 was a successful event gaining public awareness on the astronomy and space sciences. Yes 97.3%

Very much helpful 39% Somewhat helpful 45% Not much helpful 7% Not helped at all 1% Don’t know 8% Was the official endorsement by the IYA2009 Japan Committee helpful organizing the events?

How do you think the “Official Endorsement” helped your events? ・ Help advertizing the events ・ Give an authority to the events ・ Help feel united ・ Give motive and confidence ・ Give a reason to promote the events

Expense (Not totally accounted for) NAOJ collected (Donations) 8,000,852 jpy (~ US$ 89k) and spend (by the end of 2009) 28,438,150 jpy (~ US$ 310k) plus 60k euro to support the IAU IYA2009 Office Also, JAXA contributed 60k euro and much more…. A total amount spent on the IYA2009 events in Japan is to be estimated.

Beyond IYA2009 in Japan We agreed to form a united body to promote astronomy in Japan An official name of this body is not yet decided. It consists of representatives from various different amateur and professional organizations, research and educational institutes, public observatories, planetarium and museums.
