Story Synopsis

After hearing Suneo boast about the amazing starry sky he saw in Hawaii, Nobita—who has never seen such stars—consults Doraemon. Using the "Indoor Travel Machine," a secret gadget that creates travel experiences indoors, Doraemon projects Hawaii's starry sky in Nobita's room. Doraemon explains that since ancient times, people have gazed at the stars, contemplating them and creating various "models of the universe" to understand it.

To verify what the universe truly looks like, Nobita and friends enter a "Celestial Globe" that perfectly recreates the real universe using microcopy. Aboard a spaceship, they travel through space but get too close to a black hole and risk being pulled in! Will Nobita and friends safely return to Earth?
