	Cygnus
		Cygnus, The Swan, is one of the more obvious asterisms in the summer skies, which -- because of its shape -- is sometimes called the Northern Cross.
		Cygnus A is the second brightest source in the 'radio sky', after the supernova remnant known as Cas A. This pecularly-shaped galaxy is considered to be a billion light years distant, and is an object of intense investigation.
		Cygnus A is found in a highly nebulous region of the constellation, about three and a half degrees west of gamma Cyg.

	Cygnus
		Cygnus was known to the ancient Babylonians as the 'bird of the forest'.
		Cygnus usually is shown in full flight down the Milky Way, the Stream of Heaven, "uppoised on gleaming wings"; but old drawings have it apparently just springing from the ground.
		While Cygnus was thus prominent in myth and the sky, the swan was especially so in ancient ornithology, and the subject of many fables, where its "hostility" to other birds and to beasts was made much of.

	Search for Periodic Emission from Cygnus X-3
		Claims of observation of emission from Cygnus X-3 have typically reported observation of pulsation with a period equal to the period of the X-rays emitted by Cygnus X-3[19, 4, 20].
		This is one of several ephemerides proposed for Cygnus X-3 the most commonly used of which have been the ephemeris proposed by van der Klis and Bonnet-Bidaud in 1981 and the two alternative ephemerides proposed by them in 1989.
		Cygnus X-3 has an ecliptic longitude of 57 degrees so the peak-to-peak magnitude of the correction is reduced to about 9 minutes.

	GAO: B-292649.3; B-292649.4, Cygnus Corporation, Inc., December 30, 2003
		Cygnus challenges the evaluation of proposals and asserts that the agency failed to conduct meaningful discussions.
		Cygnus asserts that NIH failed to advise it during discussions of perceived weaknesses in its proposal and, where it did raise other matters during discussions, affirmatively misled it into believing that such other matters had been satisfactorily resolved during discussions.
		We conclude that Cygnus was prejudiced by NIH's actions because it is possible that, when considered in conjunction with the correction of the errors in the technical evaluation, Cygnus's proposal could have been improved enough through further discussions to become the best value offer.

	Active Galaxies and Quasars - Radio Galaxy Cygnus A (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The first photographs of Cygnus A showed two clumps of luminous material, which led Walter Baade and Rudolph Minkowski to speculate that the radio emission was somehow linked to a galaxy collision.
		This is a narrow-line radio galaxy, but infrared and polarization measurements show that from some directions it would appear as a broad-line object and perhaps as a quasar, so that there is plenty of radiation in some directions to light up the gas.
		Cygnus A is an excellent example of the Fanaroff-Riley (FR) type II radio sources, characterized by faint, very narrow jets, distinct lobes, and clear hot spots at the outer edges of the lobes, often where the jets intersect the outer edges.
