In our previous article, we reported on an event we co-created with the Hong Kong team who are collaborating with Diverse Universe.

In this article, we bring you a report on our visit to Hong Kong and Macau, where we accompanied the Hong Kong team to gather product ideas for the actual Expo.

We took a ferry from Hong Kong to the Macau Science Museum.

Mr. Yamauchi, the representative of Astro Ninja Projects, had also urged us to go, saying, "There's an exhibit that I'd love all of you team members to see," so the whole team entered the exhibition full of excitement and anticipation.

On the day, we were given a tour of the museum by Mr. WONG, an officer at the Macau Science Museum and an acquaintance of Mr. Kenneth Hui from the Hong Kong team.

This is Yamauchi's recommended 3D constellation product.

A light bulb designed to resemble a star slides down from the ceiling.

This exhibit allows you to see with your naked eye how the arrangement of the stars changes depending on your viewing angle, such as standing on the left or right. I was very impressed by this exhibit, which has some relevance to the Diverse Universe concept.

It was a wonderful exhibit that allowed us to experience how the same constellation can look different depending on where you look at it.

This is a giant-sized constellation chart. It's quite impressive when you see it up close.

Next to the giant constellation finder is Ching Tin Chu from the Hong Kong team. Does this give you an idea of what it will look like in life-size?

Through the physical products in our Diverse Universe exhibition, we hope to allow many people to experience the starry skies of the world.

Inside the museum, there are many other valuable exhibits that allow visitors to trace the history of astronomical observation.

The concept of Diverse Universe places great importance on connecting the two axes of region (the horizontal axis) and era (the vertical axis).

While respecting the differences in culture and history, we all contemplate the same starry sky.

It was a truly valuable visit that allowed us to further condense the limited time until the actual Expo begins.

The entire team plans to continue refining our design while exploring "what we can do" in the time remaining until the Expo.

In our next report with the Hong Kong team, the third instalment, we will be writing about our tour of the Ho Koon Nature Education cum Astronomical Centre.

Thank you to everyone who helped.
