Planetariums in Japan An Overview Yoshiro Yamada Astronomy Section Yokohama Science Center 5-2-1 Yokodai Isogo-ku Yokohama 235 Japan The Planetarium Environment Most planetariums in Japan have been constructed by local districts and are operated by them or by affiliated organizations for both public and educational (school) purposes. According to a survey made in 1990 (all data referred to in this report are from Reference 1 unless otherwise stated), of nonschool planetariums of 5-meters or larger, 59% were founded for the purposes of social (public) education and 21.0% for school educational use; however 96% of the total are visited by school groups for school programs on weekdays. Most school teachers have no astronomy education, even introductory courses, in universities because few universities in Japan provide astronomy courses. School teachers feel it difficult to direct night observations due to their unfamiliarity with the constellations and because of special circumstances such as poor weather, light pollution, safety, and for other reasons. This accounts for a great demand for school use of planetariums, where it is the planetarium staff instead of school teachers that usually teach the pupils. As a result, school teachers greatly depend on planetariums for astronomy education.

23. Role Of Planetariums In Education, Jim Manning, IPS Planetarian The Role of planetariums in Astronomy Education. An Address to Nineteen countries have ten or more planetariums. Some 33 percent http://www.griffithobs.org/IPSroleplan.html

The Role of Planetariums in Astronomy Education An Address to the Education Symposium of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific June 24, 1995 James. G. Manning President, International Planetarium Society Taylor Planetarium Museum of the Rockies Bozeman Montana 59717 Good afternoon. In the 1940's, chemical engineer and philanthropist John Motley Morehead approached the eminent Harvard astronomer Harlow Shapley with a question. Morehead wanted to build either an observatory or a planetarium for the children of his native North Carolina, and he asked Shapley which the astronomer would recommend. Shapley suggested that a planetarium would be better-because he felt the people of North Carolina were among the "most astronomically ignorant" people in the United States. Morehead responded that if Shapley would amend his statement to say that the people of North Carolina were among the "most ignorant in astronomical matters," he would build a planetarium. Shapley did, and Morehead did, and the rest is history-46 years of history, to be precise, during which more than four million people have been introduced to the wonders of the universe at the Morehead Planetarium-thanks to the hard work of two generations of planetarium staff. In many ways, the Morehead story is not unique; planetariums for decades have been created to serve the cause of astronomical enlightenment-to offer people knowledge and understanding and a sense of place in a universe far bigger than themselves. It's an important role and one that we continue to play-changing, we hope, as times, technology, education, and our view of the universe change.
