4 Previous Research 3 The mental image of astronomy was more uniquely positive in three cognitive dimensions (beautiful, vast and interesting) than the images of other fields of science (Toyosawa et al. 2011). The image of the research process regarding astronomy and astronomers was inaccurate (Toyosawa et al. 2011). The function of media as a constructor of the image of astronomy could not be ignored (Kawai & Takagaki 2011).

13 12 The Astronomical Objects Observed at the Night Part of the Party The Spring Triangle The Summer Triangle Albireo in Cygnus Antares in Scorpius Mars Saturn

14 13 The Astronomical Object Observed at the Day Part of the Party The Moon in the Daytime

15 Situations of the Stargazing Party While the author made a participant look an astronomical object, the author explained the object to the participant orally. The author reproduced stargazing scenes from anime by lying down on a picnic sheet with participants and looking at the Summer Triangle, and by cosplaying. The author s cosplay wasn t understood by the participants in the day part of the party. 14 Many of the participants came to know for the first time that the moon is observable in the daytime.

29 Conclusion 28 It was difficult to appeal to augmented realistic imagination, because the author s cosplay wasn t understood. The participants seemed to feel that stargazing became more familiar.
