The Inter-University Research Institute Corporation held the joint symposium 2011 titled “Everything flows” in Akihabara, Tokyo, on November 26. The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) set up a booth at the exhibition hall and introduced the ALMA Telescope with poster exhibition and movies.
Since ALMA has just started its early science operations and has been featured on TV and newspapers recently, the exhibition on ALMA attracted many people. At the booth, visitors were asking questions on the planetary formation process and distant regions of the universe to be explored by ALMA.
