すばる

「すばる」はぼうえんきょうのおなまえです。
すばるぼうえんきょうはハワイのマウナケアさんにあります。
すばるはおおきいです、それからとてもすばらしいです。
わたしのせんこうはてんもんがくだからすばるがいきたい。
このしゃしんはすばるのしゃしんです。



それから、「すばる」もほしのなまえとくるまのなまえです。








Well, now let's write something in English too, just to convey those information I don't know how to say in Japanese yet (hopefully this situation is not going to last very long though).

Today I write about a telescope called "Subaru" on Mt. Mauna Kea in Hawaii, which is a big thing, especially since I am an astronomer. This telescope is owned and run by the Japanese astronomical community. It is very big and absolutely amazing. I can go on forever telling you how great it is, but I will spare that for now.

The word "Subaru" is the Japanese word for Pleiades, which the telescope is named after. Incidentally, the car brand Subaru is also named after the same thing.
