Previous Research

• The mental image of astronomy was more uniquely

positive in three cognitive dimensions (beautiful,

vast and interesting) than the images of other fields

of science (Toyosawa et al. 2011).

• The image of the research process regarding

astronomy and astronomers was inaccurate

(Toyosawa et al. 2011).

• The function of media as a constructor of the image

of astronomy could not be ignored (Kawai &

Takagaki 2011).

the spa town and other places.

• Events include a cosplay parade, a gathering of

anime cars, exhibitions of original cartoon images,

live events featuring voice actors and singers, and

so on.

• According to the organizer, the fifth and most

recent TMAF was marked a record high of 57,000

Situations of the Stargazing Party

• While the author made a participant look an

astronomical object, the author explained the

object to the participant orally.

• The author reproduced stargazing scenes from

anime by lying down on a picnic sheet with

participants and looking at the Summer Triangle,

and by cosplaying.

• The author’s cosplay wasn’t understood by the

participants in the “day” part of the party.

• Many of the participants came to know for the first

time that the moon is observable in the daytime.

Conclusion

• It was difficult to appeal to “augmented realistic

imagination”, because the author’s cosplay wasn’t

understood.

• The participants seemed to feel that stargazing

became more familiar.

• Future tasks are revealing the following:

• Details of effects of the stargazing party

• The relation between the respondents’ experiences in

stargazing in the past, their images of astronomy, and

media representation
