[Mitaka Studies] SUBARU Stargazing Party: Observe Subaru from the Heart of SUBARU!

About this event

In cooperation between the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan in Mitaka City and SUBARU Corporation Tokyo Office, a special one-day stargazing event will be held. This event offers a rare opportunity to observe the beautiful Pleiades star cluster (known as Subaru in Japanese) from within the facilities of SUBARU Corporation. In the event of inclement weather, stargazing will be cancelled and an indoor program will be held instead. Lecturers include Hitoshi Yamaoka, Head of the Public Relations Center at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, staff from the NAOJ Public Relations Center, and members of Star Sommelier Mitaka. Admission is free, but the event is open only to residents, workers, and students in Mitaka City, limited to 50 participants per session (a lottery will be held in case of oversubscription). Applications must be submitted via the course application system between Friday, September 25, and Sunday, November 15. Lottery results are scheduled to be announced on Saturday, November 21, and can be confirmed by email or through the system.
