a collection of numbers, objects, etc, that is treated as an entity: 3, the moon is the set the two members of which are the number 3 and the moon (in some formulations) a class that can itself be a member of other classes 4. Many disparate senses collect under this word because of the far-flung meanings assigned to the verb: "Action of hardening," 1837; also "manner or position in which something is set" (1530s), hence "general movement, direction, tendency" (1560s); "build, form" (1610s), hence "bearing, carriage" (1855); "action of fixing the hair in a particular style" (1933)
The aliens' spacecraft had been damaged by the energy barrier around the galaxy, and they need the Enterprise to return home, enhancing its engines so that the journey will "only" take 300 years. They take over the Enterprise using their two main weapons - a paralyzing beam, and a ray that can reduce a person to a gray block of material - revival only being possible if the block is not damaged
It's more like Voltaire's "Candide" in outer space (though not nearly as sexy).On the downside, I thought some of the developments at the end of the book seemed forced, but this is pure whimsy, and so I cut Adams some slack.Reading it, one is struck by some of the phrases that have gone on to pop culture familiarity: "Don't Panic" and Babel fish... If through sharing the above bit of meaningless nonsense wisdom, I have: (i) introduced someone to a worthwhile read, or (ii)provided a means of dealing with the agonizing pain of having chunks of fur ripped from their body, or (iii) shown people a picture of a man in a thong changing a tire, or (iv) pissed off a despotic assclown, or (v) simply provided a safety tip regarding avoiding unsolicited sexual advances in the guise of impromptu gift-giving, than I feel I have accomplished something
But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand-with the galaxy's fate in the balance. It tried to be different from other comic book movies, but it tried too hard - relying on tried-and-true soundtrack hits, milking the cuteness and emotional climaxes, and wedging in melodramatic backstory to give depth to the waggish protagonist
He's a very good writer with captivating storylines, dead on science, compelling plot and in depth characters, but...I feel like he gets tired of writing the same story or can't properly tie things together at the end so he has som All I'm going to say about Crichton is that he has a knack for what I call the "miracle ending". If they talk about something I don't know or that interest me I go to wikipedia or other similar sites.It was very interesting knowing that this book was written in the 60's and some things didn't change and others have evolved immensely
What is the Closest Galaxy to the Milky Way?
Astronomers also believe that the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is also in the process of being pulled apart by the gravitational field of the more massive Milky Way galaxy. It was in the course of investigating this ring of stars, and a closely spaced group of globular clusters similar to those associated with the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy, that the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy was discovered
On the other hand, as in my case with Firefly i missed it on TV I saw it on DVD and it was worth taking the chance on a show i'd never seen before.However back to the subject of Andromeda the opposite end from the shows i just mentioned, this show is a nothing more than a complete joke and gives television science fiction and indeed science fiction in general a bad name it has been poorly written and acted since the first episode and should never have lasted five episodes let alone five seasons. Things become more intense as the Andromeda is expelled from the Commonwealth, Trance reveals her true form, Harper holds a weapon capable of destroying the Commonwealth, Beka becomes possessed by the Spirit of the Abyss, and a new crew member joins
SupernovaAn explosion that occasions the "death" of a massive star (or, in other cases, signals that a white dwarf in a double star system has re-ignited because a companion star has dumped a critical mass of fresh material onto it.) T TelescopeAn instrument that gathers light (or another type of electromagnetic radiation) and brings it to a focus. Known in astrology as the "zodiac." Electric chargeThe property of some particles of matter that causes them to attract or repel other charged particles
DO - definition of DO by The Free Dictionary
(takes an infinitive without to) used as an auxiliary before a negative adverb to form negative statements or commands: he does not like cheese; do not leave me here alone!. After do, you put is or was and an infinitive with or without to.For example, instead of saying 'Carolyn opened a bookshop', you can say 'What Carolyn did was to open a bookshop' or 'What Carolyn did was open a bookshop'.What Stephen did was to interview a lot of teachers.What it does is draw out all the vitamins from the body.You can use all instead of 'what' if you want to emphasize that just one thing is done and nothing else.All he did was shake hands and wish me luck.All she ever does is make jam.4

He is tall and thin, with a beard and hair that he allows to wander beyond the boundaries of a trim; his uniform is a pair of bluejeans and a plaid shirt. After a coder gave trees and rocks collision, they became destroyable; he shot at a hillside, causing rocks to tumble down, hitting one another in a cascade

The Andromedan Compendium - 1a
We have the benefit of having been on 11th density, which means that we have covered a very large area of spiritual evolvement - which is why our range of emotion is so large. We show a temporary interest in space as new and unseen information and discoveries are shared, then that interest is incorporated into day to day survival
Two New Alien Planets Discovered in Andromeda --"Resets the Bar for Weird"
Astronomers are beginning to suspect that something unusual happens during the evolution of such solar systems that drives massive planets into kinds of close encounters. The more of us there are, the better the chance of seeing some of those galaxies, stars, and exoplanets from the view of a spaceship rather than an Earthbound or space telescope
It was born 10 billion years ago out of the merger of many smaller protogalaxies and then, around 8 billion years ago, it ran head-on into another galaxy to form a giant that became the M31 galaxy we see today. Our neighbouring galaxy also contains around twice the number of stars as our own galaxy, according to observations made by the Spitzer Space Telescope
Moon and Andromeda: Relative size in the sky.
(Edited to add: Because this shot is in the UV, which is invisible to our eyes, Andromeda wouldn't look exactly like this in the sky, but in fact the visible light images of it look pretty similar, so it's close enough for the point being made.) The Andromeda galaxy in the ultraviolet, as seen by NASA's GALEX mission
Observing M31, the Andromeda Galaxy
M 31 lies at a distance of 2.4 million light years, but on a clear night you can see it without any optical aid from a moderate observing site, as a small and fuzzy patch of light of the 4th magnitude. With Bresser 7x50 binoculars from my own backyard (450 feet altitude) From my own backyard I regularly observed M 31 with 7x50 Bresser binoculars (field of view 6.1 degrees)
For example, billions of small reflective bits of metal could be placed in an orbit between earth and sun, possibly at the L1 Lagrangian point (so they would stay in the same relative place from earth as we go around the sun). New data collected by the Hubble Space Telescope proves, NASA says, that in 4 billion years the Milky Way and Andromeda will collide or pass each other by so closely that the gravitational force each exerts on the other will cause them to slow down to the point of merging

You see, Andromeda is the largest of all spirals in the night sky from our vantage point; regardless of what it was, it was reasonable to assume the reason it was so big is because it was closer to us than all the others. You have an apparently star-less extended nebula, that only resolves into an enormous number of stars when viewed with a huge telescope, and a star coincident in the sky with that object that is an enormous distance away
Andromeda: Hubble mosaic of the spiral galaxy.
Using six filters means stars can be categorized by color (which in turn tells us much about their mass, age, temperature, and more), and a lot of the dynamics and evolution of Andromeda will be discernible. And here we are, decades later, looking at them effortlessly on our computers, thanks to a telescope bearing his name and the hard work of a lot of folks putting this image together
