Mars to Get Closer than Ever in Recorded History in 2003
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. Befitting the red planet's bloody color, the Romans named it after their god of war. The Romans copied the ancient Greeks, who also named the planet after their god of war, Ares. Other civilizations also typically gave the planet names based on its color — for example, the Egyptians named it "Her Desher," meaning "the red one," while ancient Chinese astronomers dubbed it "the fire star." Physical characteristics Regolith The bright rust color Mars is known for is due to iron-rich minerals in its regolith — the loose dust and rock covering its surface. Geology The cold, thin atmosphere means liquid water currently cannot exist on the Martian surface for any length of time. The red planet is home to both the highest mountain and the deepest, longest valley in the solar system. Space.com Exclusive T-shirt. Scientists think the Valles Marineris formed mostly by rifting of the crust as it got stretched. Many regions of Mars are flat, low-lying plains.

This book contains 209 tales collected by the brothers Grimm. The exact print source is unknown. The etext appears to be based on the translation by Margaret Hunt called Grimm's Household Tales, but it is not identical to her edition. The etext received by the Universal Library did not include story titles. Note that these tales are presented more or less as the Grimms collected and edited them (and as Hunt saw fit to translate them). NEW: There is now a more accurate version of the Hunt translation posted by William Barker.

Jeu de cartes MEMOSKY
MEMOSKY a été créé en 2009 par Hervé DERYCKER, astronome, fondateur et directeur du Planétarium Observatoire de Briançon les Écrins de 1997 à 2015 (Hautes Alpes, France). L’auteur précise qu’il lui a fallu plus de 2500 heures d’expérimentations et de développement auprès de plus de 1200 personnes adultes, enfants et personnes ayant des difficultés de mémorisation pour mettre au point ce jeu de cartes qui ravira les adeptes de ciel étoilé et d’astronomie. Le jeu permet de mémoriser les étoiles, les constellations, les objets Messier (amas d’étoiles, nébuleuses, galaxies), mais aussi de localiser l’écliptique (zodiaque) pour l’observation des planètes. La codification des couleurs permet de repérer les étoiles et les constellations en fonction des saisons. Chaque carte est une vraie petite carte du ciel centrée sur une constellation, avec en plus le repérage de certains objets du ciel profond (amas d’étoiles, nébuleuses, galaxies).
