	Sirius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Astronomers at the Mount Wilson Observatory determined in 1915 that Sirius B was a white dwarf, the first to be discovered.
		In 2005, using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers determined Sirius B to be 12,000 kilometers (7,500 miles) in diameter, with a mass that is 98% of the Sun.
		Careful research reveals there may have been cultural contamination on the part of visiting astronomers who went to the region to observe a transit of Venus, though this is still a matter of some dispute.

	Magi
		Agrippa became immersed in the supernatural and the occult and sought to develop a synthesis that would unite various magical systems and religious traditions with the Kabbalah.
		Unfortunately for his cause, a Franciscan friar in Margaret's cabinet warned her that Agrippa was a heretic who taught the Kabbalah of the Jews and whose attentions were not to be trusted.
		Agrippa was pleased to do so, for he saw this as an opportunity to rectify matters with the church whose clergy he had offended in the past, but when the council was disbanded before he could state his defense, he abandoned both his military and ecclesiastical careers.
