But Hinana is shocked to learn that she may not be the only one with an interest they keep hidden from everyone…Ĭinderella stories can be found all over the globe. Keeping up the act may be difficult when her school used as a setting in a movie starring Kaede, a popular idol. Hinana appears to be a honor student only interested in studying, but she’s actually a romantic at heart with a soft spot for fairy tales. ![]() All in all, the whole film does manage to make a lot happen and have it conclude nicely with that shiny red bow of shojo on top.午前0時、キスしに来てよ ( Gozen 0-ji, Kiss shi ni Kite yo) (I believe they’re discussed more in-depth within the manga of course.) Those details managed to come together nicely in the end, a rare moment of all these small moments really did actually cumulate into a cohesive plot point. Surprisingly, there’s a lot of sub-context to Hinana’s character, as well as her familial relationships that are sprinkled in quite naturally. I won’t say all the ‘obstacles’ of the supporting cast are easily conquered, but are really only fodder to make steamier confessions happen. It wouldn’t be a shojo without it, and the supporting cast does a good job balancing the chaos and the support the series needs to run. Of course, there is drama around their relationship. That’s when he realizes his own feelings for her too. When none of that works, he realizes Hinana really likes him for him, and not as a celebrity. He tries a few more things, trying to push her away. When Hinana point blank says, ‘that’s cool’ (more or less) and keeps it moving you can see he’s genuinely surprised. He tests her by revealing his butt fetish and that their ‘chance encounter’ was just him looking to get a certain bootiful anime figure. At first he comes off more amused by playing with Hinana and her feelings. Even in the weirdest moments, Hinana accepts Ayase for who he is, and still wants to be with him.Īyase’s character works really well around this too. She never had time to pay attention to him as a celebrity, so she truly has no notion of his ‘image’. She expresses that she has no clue, and earnestly asks about things like properly holding hands. She’s well aware the world of difference between her and Ayase in experiance and expectations. Hinana is our rather innocent protagonist, but she’s not stupid. That’s one of the things that really worked in favor for the series. Ayase, who by all means I assumed was going to be a cocky asshat, surprisingly wasn’t. Hinana is that clueless aside from her romance films on how relationships work. Ayase and Hinana’s relationship develops naturally. It was certainly intentionally in production, but in execution is felt totally natural that things don’t really pick up until the very end. There was a bit of skirting around the issue though. However, it’s actually addressed in a factual manner within the story without being forced either. I had that awkward feeling in my stomach of ‘wow, this film is really well directed and written but this age-gap is incredibly off-putting no matter how you spin it’. There was an age gap, and it’s brought up fairly early on. I won’t lie, I daydreamed a bit as I drove home, if I would ever find someone like that to sweep me off my feet.Īll the romantic flair of this romance was saddled in a fair amount of reality. They really managed to add in that wistful ‘I wish that would happen to me’ flavor. The impromptu dates and Cinderella moments were straight out of the fairy tales. The way the chance meetings were set up, felt very truly by chance with that shojo charm to them. All the original instances of slow burn romances started. I gotta say, I was pretty damn blown away from how this film handled it’s plot. However, this prince isn’t as picture perfect as expected, but that doesn’t stop a romance from flourishing. This is where she truly has her chance encounter with a real prince, Ayase Kaede (Katayose Ryota). Due to her position as a student council member, she is asked with the other members to be extras when a movie is being filmed at her school. Hinana has one, tiny secret she dreams of being swept away by a prince charming like in her romantic black and white films. She gets good grades, takes care of her younger sister, and is relatively active in school. Hanazawa Hinana (Hashimoto Kanna) is your average high school girl, who leads a very common life. So, let’s talk about the basic premise first. ![]()

![]() How can you see this pattern over here like this? So, the 1st wave from this 1st hole. There and then darkness and then another dot and then darkness and another dot and you'll see this continue out much further You'll get, you really will just get, a dot right So if these are all DĪpart, what happens is on the wall over here, instead of getting this smudgy pattern, I'm going to make 1,000's of these holes extremely close togetherĪs long as they're all at distance D apart, something magical happens. So you come over to here and if these are spaced to distanceĭ, I'm just going to make another hole at distance D and then I'm going to make another hole at distance D and then I'm going to make another hole at distance D. So, my question is, is there a better way? Is there a way to make these spots more defined and so youĬan see more of them so they're brighter and the answer is definitively yes and we figured out how to do it and the way you do it, is you just make more holes. Sometimes you're lucky to even see the 5th or 6th bright spot down the line. Probably want to measure distance between two of these bright spots because that's what I can see but because they're smudgy, it's like is that the center? Is this the center? Sometimes the lights not so strong and it's hard to tell and what's worse is these kind of die off and so there's another problem. Side of the triangle and then I would also You'd have these bright spots but they'd kind of blend in to dark spots which blend into bright spots which is why when we draw a graphical representation of this, it kind of looks like this, where these spots are blending into each other which is cool but it also kind of sucks because if you were to go actually try to do this experiment, you'd want to measure some angles and that means that you'd have to measure some distances. ![]() Green laser through here what you'd see on the screen would be something like this. Double slits are cool because they show definitively that light can have wave like interference patterns and if you shine a The part of the wave that would reach the point would be near zero if represented in the wavy way, and the latter would have reached the point having being shifted more than π times. For example the wave that was 1.3 shifted from the first ( and still only 1.1 shifted from the previous) and the one that was 1.8 shifted would destroy each other as the former would be shifted to near a the zero point, i.e. What I mean is each light wave emerging from the slit was 1.1 wavelengths shifted compared to the previous ( just as in the constructive point you had each light wave being 1 wavelength shifted compared to the other) * and therefore, over a large number of light waves from the many slits, we had each wave cancelling out with the other*. ![]() Considering it s slightly more, as in the example David gave in the video, just as in double slit the light coming from one slit was slightly less constructive ( in the example we just set it to be skewed by 1.1 wavelengths), the light in this case coming from every slit was a little lesser constructive compared to the previous. Here's how: We know from double slit that as you move away from the constructive point the path length difference or ∆x is not exactly 1λ but is slightly more or slightly less. ⇒ As the wavelength of light increases, the central maximum becomes wider.Oh so you're getting stuck on how exactly as we move away from the constructive point do waves get destructive. the start of the first minimum) occurs at an angle given by the following formula: ⇒ The width of the central maximum depends on the wavelength of the light and the slit width ⇒ The dark fringes in between ( minima) are due to destructive inteference ⇒ These bright fringes ( called maxima) are due to constructive interference ![]() Note, the reason there is such interference patterns with a single slit is due to the Huygens-Fresnel principle, which states that every point on a wavefront is a source of wavelets (i.e.⇒ When light diffracts though a single slit, a fringe pattern on a screen can be seen with a central bright fringe and less bright fringes each side ⇒ Visible light has an extremely short wavelength so diffraction is only significant if the slit is very narrow ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Spain championships are going to be awesome this year.

Over the past 50 years, 7,435 Schmidt plates were used to complete several sky surveys that make the data in USNO-B1.0 accurate to within 0.2 arcseconds. Today, the catalog most often used is USNO-B1.0, an all-sky catalog that tracks the proper motions, positions, magnitudes, and other characteristics of over one billion stellar objects. The Hipparcos Star Catalog, produced from data obtained from the satellite Hipparcos, gives an optical catalog associated with the ICRF. In 1994, using data from about 400 radio sources beyond the Milky Way galaxy, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) established the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) as the fundamental frame of reference, replacing earlier catalogs. Additional catalogs were compiled for the 23,882 double/multiple stars and 11,597 variable stars also analyzed during the Hipparcos mission. A new catalog, “Tycho,” drew together a database of 1,058,332 to within 20-30 mas. During its four-year run, the positions, parallaxes, and proper motions of 118,218 stars were determined with an extremely high degree of accuracy. Operated from 1989 to 1993, Hipparcos measured large and small angles on the sky with much greater precision than any previous optical telescopes. In 1989, the European Space Agency's Hipparcos satellite took astrometry into orbit, where it could be less affected by Earth's mechanical forces and optical distortions from the atmosphere. This technology made astrometry less expensive, opening the field to amateurs who wished to look into it. ![]() ![]() In the 1980s, charge-coupled devices (CCDs) replaced photographic plates and reduced optical uncertainties to one milliarcsecond. Automated plate-measuring machines and more sophisticated computer technology of the 1960s allowed for larger compilations of star catalogs to be achieved more efficiently. Given that stellar parallaxes are very difficult to measure, only about 60 of them had been obtained by the end of the nineteenth century. He made the first measurement of stellar parallax: 0.3 arcsec for the binary star 61 Cygni. His cataloging of 3222 stars was refined in 1807 by Friedrich Bessel, the father of modern astrometry. ![]() These measurements proved too insignificant for his telescope, but he discovered the aberration of light and the nutation of Earth’s axis. James Bradley first tried to measure stellar parallaxes in 1729. In doing so, he also invented the brightness scale still in use today. This type of work can be dated back to about 190 B.C.E., when Hipparchus used the catalog of his predecessors Timocharis and Aristillus to discover Earth’s precession. The history of astrometry is linked to the history of star catalogs, which gave astronomers reference points by which they could track the movements of objects in the sky. Also, it is useful for the study of dark matter in the galaxy and in developing models for the physical origin of the Solar System. It has helped with the discovery of extrasolar planets and many previously unobserved Solar System objects. In addition, it is useful for precise time-keeping and tracking near-Earth objects. For example, it is valuable for studies in celestial mechanics, stellar dynamics, and galactic astronomy. Although it was once regarded as an esoteric field with little practical significance, astrometry has proved extremely useful in a range of areas of contemporary astronomical research. ![]() ![]() He was an important influence upon every contemporary and every scie Henry Kuttner was, alone and in collaboration with his wife, the great science fiction and fantasy writer C.L.
