		My latest excursion with Bolaño, Distant Star (originally published by Editorial Anagrama as Estrella distante in 1996; published in English by New Directions in 2004, translation by Chris Andrews) confirmed my first impressions and added to my level of exasperation, but did not lessen my admiration for this writer.

		The presence of a planet orbiting the foreground star causes the distant star's light to flare momentarily.
		It is a red dwarf star with about 60 percent the mass of the Sun and located 19,000 light years away.

	Anime Boredom - Voices of a Distant Star anime reviews
		Voices of a Distant Star is a spectacular animated short that was written, directed and produced by one ambitious individual - Makoto Shinkai.
		It's a concept not too dissimilar to Hideaki Anno's Gunbuster in which a young girl is chosen to fight against a mysterious alien force in the depths of space, only to witness her friends back on Earth become older and older as she stays youthful due to the effects of interstellar travel.
		Having said that, I don't think this is really a notable detriment to Voices of a Distant Star because the characters perform their given roles well; complicating these roles may have had an adverse effect.

		It is distant because it will never be important enough for most of us to care, but for those who are looking, it is there.
		I like the idea of a star also because there are a countless number of stars in the many galaxies.
		Yet if we ever have a chance to investigate all the stars, I am sure they are all different in their own ways.

		In this highly processed image of a distant white dwarf star, the glare of the star itself has been reduced, revealing a point of infrared light toward the upper right that may be a planet or a brown dwarf.

		Voices of a Distant Star is the rare story that has the potential to move the most mild-tempered individuals to tears.

		Both are 15 years of age and war is raging in the heavens above as mankind has made its way to the stars and in doing so has encountered interstellar war.
		Some might argue that with a running time as short as this you could watch it nonetheless, but with as many shows to get through as I have, being hopelessly addicted to the format, it's easy to get distracted.
		This is not the case with Voices of a Distant Star.

	JPL News -- Cosmic Magnifying Glass: Distant Star Reveals Planet
		A star or planet can act as a cosmic lens to magnify and brighten a more distant star lined up behind it.
		In most prior microlensing observations, scientists saw a typical brightening pattern, or light curve, indicating a star's gravitational pull was affecting light from an object behind it.
		By analyzing the precise shape of the light curve, Bond and his team determined one smaller object is only 0.4 percent the mass of a second, larger object.

	Voices of a Distant Star
		Although a little rough around the edges, Voices of a Distant Star is one of the most captivating anime I've seen this year.
		As was the case in She and Her Cat, the story here is kept simple by the lack of useless characters and events.
		Voices of a Distant Star is surely a triumph of indie animation, and we can only hope it inspires other unknown storytellers to do the same.

	RPG LAND Anime Review - Voices of a Distant Star
		Makoto Shinkai's Voices of a Distant Star isn't the longest anime feature out there, but this is acceptable when considering the amount of thought it provokes is still on par with most full-length movies.
		The music is enjoyable and well used in the film, and the enclosed CD is a nice way to revist its peaceful sounds.
		Voices of a Distant Star isn't the most exciting piece of anime, but what it does in 30 minutes is fairly impressive.

	spacetoday.net: Hubble discovers distant exoplanet's star
		the planet was discovered in 2003 through a technique called microlensing, where the gravity of a foreground star magnifies the light of a background star when the foreground star passes directly between the background star and the Earth.
		That magnification turned up the existence of a small companion to the background star believed to be a planet orbiting that star.
		The identity of the background star could not be determined, though, until the Hubble Space Telescope observed the region and was able to distinguish the star from the foreground microlensing star.

	Anime Reviews
		he story behind the short anime piece Voices of a Distant Star is almost more interesting than the plot of the piece itself: Working alone on a Macintosh, a young Japanese man named Makoto Shinkai wrote, animated and edited his own miniature film, a 25-minute science-fiction meditation about two teenagers separated by time and space.
		Thanks to its surprisingly high production values and its remarkable artistic quality, Voices won Shinkai a prestigious award, but it also sparked a small uproar in the anime industry as professionals exclaimed over what may become a new wave of anime: small-scale productions assembled without the benefit, or the interference, of established studios.
		If there are other people in his life, Voices doesn't acknowledge them; he and Mikako seem to exist alone in their own little increasingly distended and echoing world, as lovers sometimes do.

		The gravity of the foreground star bends the light rays from the more distant star and magnifies them like a lens.
		If the foreground star has a planet in its orbit, the planet's gravity can distort the light further, and thus signal its presence.
