In a hydrostatic gas bearing for use in a vacuum, in order to provide a hydrostatic gas bearing in which an increase in the quantity of gas being discharged during the movement of a moving body is reduced, the surface of a guide shaft of a fixed body and/or the surface of the moving body is subjected to processing for reducing adhesion of gas molecules, for example, by coating the surface(s) with a material having a low adhesion probability of gas molecules, by which the quantity of gas being discharged is decreased.
