Following on from the tour in August 2021, Dr. Hidehiko Agata of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) has been invited to give a lecture about the starry sky using live video from space and prerecorded video from the Subaru Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii Island. A question-and-answer session using ZOOM’s Q&A function will also be available to ask questions directly to Dr. Agata. In the second half of the tour, a workshop will be held to build together with viewers a telescope kit produced by the NAOJ.
