The sun is very popular objects for us and the public are very interested in the solar activity. For example, when big sunspots appear and a huge flare occurs, the public including mass media pay intense attentions to such solar phenomena.
As the back ground of science/astronomy education/outreach in Japan, some specific points are as below.
1. The sun is surely studied in science class of formal education.
2. Extracurricular activities of natural science in high and junior high schools.
3. There are many science museums, planetariums, and public observatories.
4. Amateur astronomers have high activities.
Since Hinode launched in 2006, the observation data have been used in various ways on the scene of astronomical education and outreach. In this talk, I focus two specific activities with use of Hinode observation data. One is Hinode Data Use Working Group, which contributes in outreach at the early phase of Hinode observations. The other is “Let’s Look at the Sun with Hinode together”, which is simultaneous observation campaign with high and junior high school students. This is highly evaluated as a unique activity and continue for ten years. The students compare Hinode data with their own observation data and deeply understand the sun.
In addition, I introduce outreach activities in Institute for Fusion Science where I am working now.
