Our team is honored to interview Mr. Hiroki Kobayashi, Astronomy Curator of the Planetarium at Kitakyushu Science Museum Space LABO!
Opened in April 2022, Space LABO is a new type of science museum that attracts over 200,000 visitors annually! Here, you can learn about scientific knowledge and also explore exhibits related to the universe and visit the planetarium. On the third floor, there is not only Japan's second-largest dome but also Japan's largest moon rock on display!
In the planetarium, the 30-meter diameter dome is particularly popular among visitors. This dome, the second largest in Japan, was also produced by Unigin!
In the first part of the video, Mr. Kobayashi introduces the 30-meter dome made by Unigin, highlighting how it closely resembles the actual night sky when projecting stars. Let's take a look together!
