In September, PORT-Kai welcomes Dr. Hiromasa Miyasaka, an astrophysicist ・ from California Institute of Technology, who will give a seminar titled "The Story of the Universe Far and Near".

What is the universe ？ What kind of place is the universe ？ Have you ever wondered or asked your children ？ What is the universe that you know but do not know, and what seems to be the answer but cannot answer?

In this seminar, I will talk about what kind of worlds are spread out in the universe in an easy-to-understand manner," says Dr. Miyasaka.

We will also talk about recent trends in space exploration, topics in front-line space research, and the career path of astrophysics, so please bring your children along.
