Summary:Currently, there are many contents related to celestial bodies in the world. However, their systems introduce constellations　mainly.　Most of them don’t introduce information about each star. Existing systems read aloud names of stars and constellations and show their color and brightness only visually. Therefore, in this research, we developed a system that can quickly present information of the color and brightness of stars by associating them with pitches and volumes of sounds. In the evaluation experiment, we compared experimental group using this system with control group using the voice reading system. We verified the speed and accuracy of grasping the information of stars in each system.
