	Rabbi Scheinerman's Home Page - Jewish Star
		They employed two gold six-pointed star on their banner and used it to welcome the king to the city of Prague, in addition to two red pentacles (five-pointed stars, known as Solomon's Seal).
		It further appears that the hexagram and pentagram were used interchangeably until this period, and then the six-pointed star gained favor, as it was associated with the notion of a "shield" of God and taken to have magical powers when used as an amulet.
		Shortly after World War II, however, the star was placed on a field of white between two blue stripes (the white field and blue stripes symbolizing the tallit) becoming the flag of the newly reborn State of Israel, once again a symbol of pride and belonging.

	New "weak-line" T Tauri stars in Lupus
		Stars marked with '1', '2', or '3' have been discovered by pointed observations in the Lupus 1, Lupus 2 or Lupus 3 clouds, respectively, and X-ray data are from pointed observations.
		Our pointed ROSAT observations led to the identification of 47 more T Tauri stars, giving a total of 136 new T Tauri stars.
		Contrary to the Lupus T Tauri stars known prior to this study, the WTTS discovered by the ROSAT All-Sky-Survey are not clustered in the regions of highest extinction, i.e.

	Star of David OR Star of Lucifer?

		Witches often have this hexagram symbol, of the so-called Star of David, tattooed on the abdomens or palms of witchcraft initiates.

		A star will be drawn with the center at the starting point of the drag and one vertex at the ending point of the drag.

	A New Class of Tilings with Two Prototiles
		On the other hand, if the regular polygon is large, is must extend to C and therefore be a 6-pointed star, that is tiling NEW95.
		For the small case we have NEW9 (the 3-pointed star being a regular hexagon), or for a proper star, the tiling NEWP1.
		Reflections are needed with any star polygon to ensure transitivity between the edges either side of the points of the star.

	Australian Flag; it's origins & history
		In 1908 the Government decided that a seven-pointed star, symbolical of the six States and the Territories, should replace the large six-pointed star shown in the original designs of the Flag- to represent the Territories and to conform with the star in the Crest of the Coat of Arms granted that year.
		The original concept was to represent the relative brightness of each star in the constellation with the stars of the Southern Cross having 9, 8, 7, 6 and 5 points.
		Under the Union of the British Blue Ensign was a large white star with six points representing the six States.

	GUIDANCE, NAVIGATION AND CONTROL
		The star trackers are oriented so that the optical axis of the negative Z star tracker is pointed approximately along the negative Z axis of the orbiter and the optical axis of the negative Y star tracker is pointed approximately along the negative Y axis of the orbiter.
		The star tracker cannot be used if the IMU alignment error is greater than 1.4 degrees because the angles the star tracker is given for searching are based on current knowledge of the orbiter attitude, which is based on IMU gimbal angles.
		The air data system senses air pressures related to spacecraft movement through the atmosphere to update navigation state vector in altitude; provide guidance in calculating steering and speed brake commands; and update flight control law computations and provide display data for the commander's and pilot's alpha Mach indicators, altitude/vertical velocity indicators and CRTs.

	Sacred Stars and Treasure Maps
		The five-pointed star was, and still is, considered to be a symbol of the spirit in communion with the four elements of earth, air, fire and water.
		The pi ratio in the five-pointed star, the pentalpha, is encoded in the lines of the pentagon framing the star and in the tangent lines of the star itself.
		The number of degrees around the centre point of the star (360) divided by the number of arms of the star (5) renders the number seventy-two which is significant in terms of astronomy (see Part 4) and Freemasonry.

	The Website of Composer Jeffery Cotton: Work Information
		We all remember how as children we first learned to draw a five-pointed star without lifting the pencil from the paper, thus as a "single-line drawing".
		It is also possible to draw a seven-pointed star in the same way (or actually any number of points greater than 5, except 6).
		I refer to it as the "star-form", even though, as I say, it is more a method of organization than itself a definition of form.
