Besides projectors, there are also HOMESTAR PSP.

The inventor, Mr. Takayuki Ohira, made his first planetarium projector when he was in primary school. In 1985, as a high school student, he finished the project of making a projector which could show 6300 stars. After a year, he successfully made another projector. It showed almost 16000 star.

In 1998, he broke the record by issuing MEGASTAR, a device that could show 1700000 stars. In 2003 and 2004, he pushed the limit to 5000000 stars, up to 12.5 magnitude.

He shocked the society at the time. There were even a soap opera based on his biography.


Cover of the biography, Make a wish to the stars, 7 tatamis breed 4100000 stars

His personal site is here.

FujiTV and Disney co-operation

Where are the stars now? Where would I have to go in order to see them?

I walk forth into this fractured world, yet my thoughts were forever of the sky.
