I work in the field of astronomy and space exploration, and I’m also an amateur astronomer who enjoys stargazing in my free time.

Through my work with Olena-san, I realized the significant potential of planetariums.

Planetariums not only bring people comfort through the starry sky, but also remind us that everyone on Earth lives under the one sky. We are beings who were given life on that pale blue dot in our solar system.

People in distant countries who suffer every day because of war also live on the same planet as we do. What each of us can do on our own is small. However, I think that when people work together, we generate the power to change the situation.

I believe that the planetarium is a platform where we can think together about how to live on Earth.
