Now all of our Stargazers' Society member can go to watch 3D movie without buying a 3D glasses! WHY?
The answer is so obvious --- we've made one for ourselves today!
HAHA yeah our activity today was making a 3D glasses!
Before we really started with the making, Mr president gave a presentation about the Sun! (I guess so.. because the moment i enter the class there was a presentation...) but everyone was so busy with the glasses. ｷｬｯｷｬ(*´∀｀) (´∀｀*)ｳﾌﾌ
two pretty girls checking how many layers they need for the transparent sheets after Mr president explained to them how it works.... as the sheet is a bit too thin for this. XP ｷｬ━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!
we test our 3D glasses by looking at this graphic... Actually there is another one but i didnt manage to snap a picture of it X_X
Everyone tried their best in making the 3D glasses...
Especially.... This person.... XDDDDDDDDDDD
So a simple 3D glasses looks like this: the left side is red coloured transparent sheets, the right is the blue coloured one.
But, how it actually functions? ﾜｶﾝﾆｬｲ(´･д･｀)ゞ？
When you view a proper source while wearing 3D glasses, each eye sees a slightly different image. These images are blended together by the brain, which produces the 3-dimensional effect.
Producers have to take photos of the same scene using two cameras, set slightly apart. Each of the lenses has a a certain color, but one is always red, while the other can have any of cyan, blue or green. The light filters mean that images that have been shot by the first camera, using a red filter, will only enter the right eye, while footage from the second camera, which has been shot in green, only enters the left one. This color-coding is essential in helping the brain put the pictures back together.
If, when watching a 3D movie, you take your glasses off during intense scenes, you will see that what appears on the screen may not seem like a good film, in that the image is completely out-of-focus. Without the goggles to code and control each picture on it, your brain perceives the movie exactly how it appears – an undecipherable combination of images and colors that make no sense. （ ＾ω＾）おっ
So next time let's go to watch a 3D movie using the 3D glasses that we made ourselves! ｷｬｧ♪(*ﾉ∀ﾉ)
Japanese time: 映画 （えいが）Eiga Meaning: Movie 映画を見に行きませんか？(Eiga wo mi ni ikimasen ka?) Wanna go to watch a movie?
We held our meeting at Room 1.9 again last Thursday ｷｬｧ♪(*ﾉ∀ﾉ) As usual the moment i get in to the room the meeting had already started Orz (It was 5pm by the way DX)
Appearently we are having a few projects to do: 1. heliophysics 2. water rocket 3. Outing to Bukit Tinggi
Under heliophysics we gonna make 3D glasses too! (which will be tomorrow XD) We may have an outing to National Planetarium or the Space Science laboratory, UM （ ＾ω＾）
About the water rocket, yeah , we plan to make a real water rocket of course! More information about this will be announced.... Let's wait for Mr. president ┬|｀∀´)Ψヶヶヶ
Outing!!! We gonna make it in November! Not December because most of us will be not in KL anymore つД｀)･ﾟ･｡･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟ The date is still unknown, basically it will be a 3D2N trip to Bukit Tinggi! Personally I am quite looking forward to it since I missed the meteor shower (´｡･ω･｡｀)ｼｸｼｸ AND the even the event on 10th Dec I cant make it.... my air ticket back to Sandakan was booked on 9th ==" I called my mom right after i knew about the event but my mom was like "WHAT? I JUST BOOKED YOUR TICKET THIS MORNING!!!" ZZzzz
Well forget about it. LOL The festival had ended and we have moved on to a new topic! Here is it: Heliophysics!!!
So what is heliophysics? It's a system approach to space science that included all of the linked phenomena in a region of the cosmos influenced by a star such as, our Sun! It's also a course of study that embraces the exploration, discovery and understanding of space environment!
Heliophysics explores the Sun-Solar System Connection and is a relatively new discipline. It generalizes of the study of "space weather" to the whole Solar System and spans several existing disciplines – solar physics, heliospheric physics, and planetary magnetospheric and ionospheric physics.
Here is an introdcution video of heliophysics for NASA (・∀・)
Mr. President had started to explain to us Ψ(｀∀´)Ψhehehe
The picture on the slide --- if we look into it with a 3D glasses, the sun will appear 3D as well!
And of course we are concentrating to what he is trying to explaining... err, I think Ferdous was busy with money matters. XP
At the same time Adrian is trying to explain too!(´∀｀)
Well, here are some general knowledge about the heliophysics.
1. Heliosphere
First of all, what is plasma? In physics and chemistry, plasma is a state of matter similar to gas in which a certain portion of the particles are ionized. Heating a gas may ionize (reduce the number of electrons in) its molecules or atoms, thus turning it into a plasma, which contains charged particles: positive ions and negative electrons.
Plasmas and their embedded magnetic fields affect the formation, evolution and destiny of planets and planetary systems. The heliosphere shields the solar system from galactic cosmic radiation. Our habitable planet is shielded by its magnetic fi eld, protecting it from solar and cosmic particle radiation and from erosion of the atmosphere by the solar wind. Planets without a shielding magnetic field, such as Mars and Venus, are exposed to those processes and evolve differently.
The solar wind, where it meets the local interstellar medium (LISM), forms boundaries that protect the planets from the galactic environment. The interstellar interaction depends on the raw pressure of the solar wind and the properties of the local interstellar medium (density, pressure, magnetic field, and bulk flow). These properties, particularly those of the LISM, change over the course of time, and change dramatically on long time scales (1,000 years and longer) as the solar system encounters interstellar clouds.
Planetary systems form in disks of gas and dust around young stars. Stellar ultraviolet emission, winds, and energetic particles alter this process, both in the internal structure of the disk and its interaction with its parent star.
In astronomy , the interstellar medium (or ISM) is the matter that exists in the space between the star systems in a galaxy. This matter includes gasin ionic, atmoic, and molecular form, dust, and cosmic rays. It fills interstellar space and blends smoothly into the surrounding intergalactic space. The energy that occupies the same volume, in the form of electromagnetic radiation, is the interstellar radiation field.
What is magnetosphere then?
A magnetosphere is formed when a stream of charged particles, such as the solar wind, interacts with and is deflected by the intrinsic magnetic field of a planet or similar body.
OK.... so there are some information about heliophysics. more will be coming! XD
Japanese time: 太陽 たいよう (tai you) = sun Example: 太陽は地球より大きです。（taiyou wa chikyuu yori ooki desu) The Sun is bigger than the Earth.
oops.
sorry for being so inactive these days.... m(_ _)m
Now gonna write about our AWESOME moon cake festival!!!! v(￣Д￣)v ｲｴｲ actually i wrote the whole thing in chinese in my own blog yesterday...orz anyone interested? lol
All of us had a very special moon cake celebration this year: we celebrated it after the actual date of Moon cake festival! XD
It's on 15 September 2011, Thursday night!
Because it rained in the evening, so the venue had changed from basketball court to the Agora...but never mind we still enjoyed it 8D
(except we lost a chance to look at the starry sky with telescope due to the cloudy weather)
So it looked like this:
Food was served in stalls,
and we had 5 food stall: Onigiri (rice balls), choco-bananas/marshmallow, Miso soup, Yakisoba (Japanese fried noodles), Tori katsu/Tempura (Fried chicken /deep-fried vegetables)!
Of course we had drink stall, too! the one and only: Green Tea stall! *laugh*
This was our registration booth and everyone who registered got a goodies bag consisted of: cutlery, polystyrene "plate", coupons for foods, a pack of snacks, candles, a lantern and a star chart!
Our event officially started at 645, where everyone was asked to sit in Agora LOL for ice breaking games and a brief explanation of the game stalls scoring system! Thanks to Sandra for the explanation ♥
The first ice breaking game was the festival dance!
AWESOME (ﾉ∀＼*)ｷｬ
Ok i forgot how to sing the song but it was really fun! We had chances to change our partner during the games so we get to know more people! (probably) www
The second one was ....Hopping Chair game? o.O
It works like this: if u win the 猜拳(what is this in English? O.o) then u can continue moving forward but if u lose then u need to go back and another people from your group continue! See who can reach the other side without losing! wwww
This was really exciting as some group didnt even notice the game had finished XD
After the ice breaking games the food stalls re-open!
After a while we had story-telling by Arvin and the gang! XD
I REALLY LOVE the way they presented it! It was just so fantastic!
It was a story about the Chang Er and Hou Yi... they adapted the story though XD At the end Hou Yi turned into a super cute rabbit! (*´ω｀*)
We also had a very nice performance by the Llamas!
The audience...www
Shortly after this we had the lantern lighting ceremony and photoshoots!
The food and games stalls started again!
4 exciting games: the yo-yo-(balloon) fishing, candle blowing, archery game and the rubber throwing game!
*still searching for photos of the game stalls*
I tried some of them and i realized how hard was the game. OTL
I threw about 100++ rubber band but none of them actually hit the wooden stick! (－－〆)
Since it was an moon cake festival of course we had lantern quizzes too!
At about 930 our Emcee
announced that we will soon have another performance by Reuben! (=´∀｀ﾉﾉﾞ☆ﾊﾟﾁﾊﾟﾁﾊﾟﾁ
*waiting for photos...O.o*
Moon cakes were served during the performances!
Hope you guys liked it! XD
After the performance astronomy stall OPEN!
We set up 2 telescope for everyone to have a look at the sky! oops not the sky but the Hotel due to the cloudy weather =X
At the same time Ferdous started to collect the scoring cards from everyone!
Finally about 1015 prize-giving ceremony started...
5 prizes for the lantern quizzes and another 5 for the Game stalls!
Prizes of the lantern quizzes was given out by our president of Stargazers' Society Kee Onn and prizes of the game stalls was given out by Ex-student council president, Bryan.
Congrats!!!!(ﾉ∀＼*)
So our event ends at about 1030!
Thanks for everyone who came to this event and anyone who helped out in this event!
I LOVE YOU XDDDDDDDD
