Nobeyama 45-m Radio Telescope

The Newest Astronomical Observation System

In order to know the newest astronomical observation system, we went into the exhibition room. Research projects at NAOJ are introduced with exhibits such as panels and models. There are also miniatures of the Subaru Telescope and the Nobeyama 45 m Radio Telescope and the ALMA diorama.

The 45-m Radio Telescope of NAOJ Nobeyama

The Next Generation Extremely Large Telescope

Nakagiri and the Subaru Telescope

Nakagiri loves the Subaru Telescope very much. He lived in Hawaii for eight years from 1994 to 2002 during the Subaru Telescope construction time

ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array)

The Solar Observation Satellite Hinode (Solar-B)

He was engaged in development of the Solar Observation Satellite Hinode (Solar-B) from 2002 to 2006. The Hinode is working happily now in the universe.

Big Happy Meeting in Mitaka

It was a very interesting happy meeting in Mitaka. The astronomers who are doing new research live together with the old astronomical observation equipment in NAOJ Mitaka campus.

They are alive even if they are old. Happiness is desired even if old. Since it is old, it is new. This is the great culture of Japan. In the astronomical observatory in Japan, Samurai Bushido is alive.

Thank you very much for Masao Nakagiri.
