[Recommendation from the Editor]
To explain the various aspects of the universe, which could previously only be expressed in papers and mathematical formulas, in an easy-to-understand way, the editorial team held numerous discussions with leading researchers, and a top-class illustrator created many world-first scientific visuals exclusive to NEO. We wanted to deliver the wonders of space to children just beginning to develop an interest in it, using beautiful illustrations based on scientific evidence and language that is as easy to understand as possible. This is a book we poured our hearts into creating. Please enjoy it.
In addition to Doraemon and Nobita, the DVD also features appearances by astronomer Professor Seiichi Sakamoto (National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, Chile Observatory) and astronaut Takuya Onishi (JAXA). Please pay attention not only to their work introductions but also to their wonderful personalities.
