To find ... are found to the south of the star, all the way down to El Nath, the second brightest star (gamma Auriga) which is actually shared with Taurus, and also known as beta Taurus. Auriga's stars are fairly bright; five are second magnitude or brighter. Alpha Auriga (Capella) is the sixth brightness star, at a visual magnitude of 0.08. The star is 43.5 light years away, and is about ... the Arabic name Al Mankib dhi'l Inan, "The Shoulder of the One Who Holds the Reins," that is, "The Shoulder of the Charioteer." Several open clusters are found in Auriga. Each contains about 100 stars and is about 2,700 light years away. The main part of Auriga is a five-sided figure of first, second, third magnitude stars. The Charioteer has two strange variable stars. Epsilon is usually ...

- 34: Origins and Bibliography of the Big Bang Theory
- ... made possible an understanding of the microworld of elementary particles and their interactions. It has also revolutionized our view of COSMOLOGY, with its predictions of apparently bizarre astronomical phenomena such as the BIG BANG, NEUTRON STARS, BLACK HOLES, and gravitational waves (see GRAVITATION). Scope of Relativity The theory of relativity is a single, all-encompassing theory of space- time, gravitation, and mechanics. It is popularly viewed, however, as having two separate ... predicted by many alternative metric theories of gravity, including the Brans-Dicke theory. It is a possible violation of the equality of acceleration of massive bodies that are bound by gravitation, such as planets or stars. The existence of such an effect would not violate the weak equivalence principle that was used as a foundation for curved space- time, as that principle applies only to modest-sized objects whose internal gravitational ... continue to expand indefinitely or whether it will slow down and eventually recollapse to a "big crunch." Astronomical observations may yield an answer. Another important application of general relativity is to the theory of neutron stars, bodies that have been so compressed by gravitational forces that their density is comparable to that within the atomic nucleus, and their composition is primarily neutrons. (A neutron star whose mass equals that of ...
- 35: Fate in King Lear
- ... movement of play itself from order to chaos to restoration of order to division again. Throughout the text, the movements of celestial bodies are used to account for human action and misfortune. Just as the stars in their courses are fixed in the skies, so do the characters view their lives as caught in a pattern they have no power to change. Lear sets the play in motion in banishing Cordelia ... but dies regretting his decision at the hands of his daughters who claim love him "more than word can wield" and are "alone felicitate" in his presence. That Edmund disbelieves in the influence of the stars adds to the play's recurring theme that part of our fate is our character; that we choose our lot in life by how we choose to act. Similarly, in Lear Gloucester's feelings predict ... of the celestial bodies, his bastard son, Edmund denies the importance of the movements of the heavenly bodies. He calls it "an excellent foppery" to "make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon and stars." (Just as in Julius Caesar we learn that "... The fault ... lies not in our stars, but in ourselves "), Edmund in Lear echoes this sentiment when he says "as if we were villains by necessity, ...
- 36: Aristotle
- ... likely seem very bizarre, as they are based more on a priori philosophical speculation than empirical observation. Although Aristotle acknowledged the importance of "scientific" astronomy - the study of the positions, distances and motions of the stars - he nevertheless treated astronomy in the abstract, linking it to his overall philosophical world picture. As a result, the modern distinction between physics and metaphysics is not present in Aristotle, and in order to fully ... it has a center, viz. the center of the earth, and a body with a center cannot be infinite. He believed that the earth, too, is a sphere. It is relatively small compared to the stars, and in contrast to the celestial bodies, always at rest. For one of his proofs of this latter point, he referred to an empirically testable fact: if the earth were in motion, an observer on it would see the fixed stars as moving, just as he now observes the planets as moving, that is from a stationary earth. However, since this is not the case, the earth must be at rest. To prove that the ...

The war years may have been the darkest in film history…” This period turned out to be quite beneficial to the theater industry.
