The 3-D picture of the Galaxy

The first 3-D picture of the Galaxy was taken by a team of University of Tokyo and the national astronomical observatory. The shape of Galaxy is warped disk. It had been said that Galaxy has six "arms" of whirlpool, but it was found that the number of "arms" is five by the picture. This will be presented at a conference held in Wakayama prefecture at the 28th this month.

A lot of dusts in the space disturb the observation when a visible ray is used for the observation. For that, this team paid attention to the electric wave radiated from hydrogen gas. There are much of hydrogen gas in the Galaxy. They collected datum, which was observed by radio telescopes in America, Europe or Australia, and analyzed the amount or movement of hydrogen gas. They made the picture by six years.

A member of the team, Mr. Nakanishi, said, "This is like a map by which we can see the shape of Galaxy. I want it to be useful as a teaching material".

I am Sam

I watched a movie "I am Sam". It was so wonderful movie. This movie draws the bonds of affection between a girl and her handicapped father. What I was amazed is the cuteness of Dacota Fanning, who is an actress played the daughter. She is so cute, but so smart. In bonus truck, she speaks about her role or the making like an adult. I think she is genius. I've never met such a girl.

The story is also amazingly beautiful. I was really moved again and again. The pure relationship of Sam and Lucie influenced on the other people gradually in the movie. This process of alteration of minds was well drawn by various methods of expression. It was good movie.

A graduation ceremony

In my university, a graduation ceremony was held today. I am happy because I could see some beautiful dressed girls on campus. They leave this university and work on another place. I want them to enjoy the work and live happly very much.

They leave, and I am a senior from this year. This year is really important for me because it may be the last year of my university life.

SNS and Affiliate

SNS is Social Networking Service in which we can make friends or community and enjoy talking or debating freely. Most famous SNS is Mixi, and many other SNS websites exist today.

Affiliate Program, which is an advertising form of the Internet, combines with SNS. In "ビルコレ", the members can get affiliate income if a friend buy a introduced product. This income is also given to the friend.

This is really interesting program. That may make our shopping life more meaningful because there is a lot of voice from person who use a product actually. In the Internet, we can not see or touch the products. It is just a displayed information, so I am confused sometimes. I doubt what I want is truly what displayed on the screen. Truly voice from customers is very important in the Internet shopping.
