Expo 2005 Aichi opened on March 25. The general theme of the international expo is "Nature's Wisdom," and this theme examines past challenges to the natural environment and ways to restore balance in the future.
  Mitsubishi was among the first to embrace this theme and announce its intention to participate in the Expo. Its exhibit, entitled "Mitsubishi Pavilion @ Earth—What if the Moon Didn't Exist?," is now open to visitors.
  How would it affect the earth if the moon did not exist? Mitsubishi has given this question visual shape by comparing visions of our earth without a moon with images of our real world, showing how the miraculous balance between the moon and earth has given rise to the natural environment.
ûûThe pavilion's central exhibit is based on the work "What if the Moon Didn't Exist?" by Neil F. Comins. Visitors are taken from a world without a moon into a world that has a moon and overflows with life. As this drama unfolds the theater screen grows wider and wider until, at the finale,

it entirely surrounds and involves the viewers. The aim of the exhibit is to let visitors experience directly how important the preservation of the earth's environment is to humanity.
  Anyone who has the chance to visit Japan is encouraged to attend the Expo and experience "Mitsubishi Pavilion @ Earth." Please see http://www.mitsubishi.com/expo2005/english/ for more details.
