Hubble 3D IMAX

第二次托上海电影节的福（第一次是有机会在电影院看了碧海蓝天），今天在和平影都看了Hubble 3D IMAX。

从特效本身来说其实这部电影科技含量并没有想象那么高，尤其是星云特效镜头相对有限，影片主要篇幅放在介绍Hubble的修复工作记录上。但那仅有的几分钟星云特效，尤其是猎户座大星云的穿梭特写真的非常非常酷，影片把那些需要长时间曝光和后期处理的星云照片做成可直接观看到的3D效果，非常震撼。我坐在第六排，本来以为有些靠前，但观看的时候巨幕几乎正好覆盖我的视野，效果反而非常好。



这次电影节Hubble 3D在上海只放映四场，期望上海科技馆可以晚些时候正式引进并长期播放，否则真是浪费资源。更希望将来NASA可以合作制作一部真正的遨游太空IMAX 3D影片。

SETI@home

What is SETI@home? SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.

You can download the installation file from http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/. When you run SETI@home on your computer, it will use part of the computer's CPU power, disk space, and network bandwidth. You can control how much of your resources are used by SETI@home, and when it uses them. The work done by your computer contributes to the goals of SETI@home, as described on its web site. The application programs may change from time to time.

You can download some add-on applications here: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/download_network.php.

Remember to join team China.

Amazing, you even don't need to by a telescope now! Released two weeks ago. Maybe you have already tried it but I still would like to show some pictures I captured:
