Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning. Assessment Allen rendered a very valuable service to those of us interested in the nomenclature and historical evolution of the constellations and their stars.

Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning

His book is a mine (or maybe a minefield!) Of varied information not only on its primary subject, but also here and there on ancient myth and religion, folklore, astrology both modern and ancient, the heroic age of modern astronomy, and the occasional bit of botany or zoology. Inevitably, though, in a work of such magnitude, and one that is now already over a hundred years old, there will be room for fault.

Astrological age. There are two broad approaches about the effects upon the world due to the astrological ages.

Astrological age

Some astrologers believe the changes upon Earth are caused and marked by the influences of the given astrological sign, associated with the Age, while other astrologers do not follow the causative model and believe it is a matter of synchronicity.[3] Many astrologers believe that the Age of Aquarius has arrived recently or will arrive in the near future. Parts of moon interior as wet as Earth's upper mantle: U.S. study. WASHINGTON, May 26 (Xinhua) -- Parts of the moon's interior contain as much water as the upper mantle of the Earth -- 100 times more of the precious liquid than measured before --, according to a new study.

Parts of moon interior as wet as Earth's upper mantle: U.S. study

Under a joint research project of Case Western Reserve University, Carnegie Institution for Science, and Brown University, the scientists discovered water along with volatile elements in lunar magma trapped inside of crystals that are trapped inside of tiny volcanic glass beads returned to Earth by Apollo 17 in 1972. The discovery, to be published Friday in the Science journal, challenges assumptions of how the moon was formed and the origin of frozen water at the lunar poles. "These samples provide the best window we have to the amount of water in the interior of the Moon," said James Van Orman, professor of geological sciences at Case Western Reserve and co-author of the paper.
