Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Naoto Sato is a Japanese amateur astronomer and planetarian (a member of the professional staff of a planetarium). He supports ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station), which is a program that offers students an opportunity to experience the excitement of amateur radio by talking directly with crewmembers of the ISS (International Space Station). Since 1995, he and his friend Takeshi Urata have discovered a large number of asteroids in Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture, including: 1995DJ2, Kamikochi, Azumino, Jonen, Iruma, and Sado. He has discovered so many asteroids that he is ranked in the top 50 most asteroid discoverers in the world (“The Astronomy Yearbook – 2008). The asteroid 6025 SATO-NAOTO, which Takeshi Urata discovered on December 30, 1992, was named after him. He has done much for the spread of astronomy in Japan through speaking on planetariums and the results of astronomical observation. He regularly appeared on the astronomical talk program “Sunset Cafe” at the local radio station “FM CHAPPY 77.7” from December 2006 to November 2008.
