		The stars are at an immense distance from Earth and shine with their own light, unlike the Moon and planets, which shine with the reflected light of the Sun.
		The magnitude of a star is a measure of its relative brilliance: A magnitude 1 star projects 100 times as much light as a magnitude 6 star; a magnitude 2 star is 100 times brighter than a magnitude 7 star, and so on.

		Some stars are remarkable for their chemical compositions, others for their multiplicity, yet others for strange variability.

	The Lunar Planner
		Markab of the Great Square of Pegasus significantly influences this few degree band of ecliptic, Markab, Alpha Pegasus, is the saddle or the physical vehicle upon which soul rides or through which soul expresses: literally the corporeal physical body.
		Markab is the vehicle through which soul accomplishes its greater mission-the physical cellular aspect of the Merkabah, one's body of light.
		The stars of Pegasus, which lie over our New Moon, in general represent the refinement of self, of the physical vehicle or vessel through which soul expresses--so we may express and live from the true essence of soul beyond the fear-instilling emotional dramatics of the world of human affairs.

	Absorbtion Line Spectra Photography
		Working on this initial pratice star, which was selected because of it's abunant absorbtion lines, it is clear that the single piece spectrascope is much easier to use than the two piece unit.
		This star is much higher in the sky, therefore the atmosperic turbulance is somewhat less, and the absorbtion lines are a little easier to make out with the naked eye.
		Markab produced a very dim spectra that was dificult to photograph with the hand-held camera.

	A103: Stellar Observations
		The apparent magnitude (m) of a star is how bright a star appears from Earth; this variable does not take into account how far or close the star is to us.
		The absolute magnitude is a measure of a star's luminosity, which is the total amount of energy radiated by the star every second.

	Fomalhaut: November 2002 Star of the Month (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		On the night of the new moon (November 4), the star shines due south around 8 p.m., and on the night of the full moon (November 19), Fomalhaut stands due south around 7 p.m.
		This is in keeping with the general scheme of things: new moon to full moon represents a period of about two weeks, with every single star in the heavens (with the exception of our Sun) returning to the same place in the sky one hour earlier than it did the fortnight before.
		Fomalhaut, a star residing in the Southern Hemisphere, is a seasonal visitor, not a permanent resident -- but then, that's what makes the star's presence so special.

	Markeb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		It is not to be confused with the star name "Markab" (Alpha Pegasi), which is a corruption of "mankib" and refers to the shoulder of the flying horse.
		Shining from a distance of 540 light years, its light dimmed by 0.2 magnitudes by interstellar dust, this hot (estimated at 22,300 Kelvin) blue class B (B2) subgiant-dwarf radiates at rate of 18,400 Suns (most in the ultraviolet), from which we find a radius of 9.1 times solar.
		Temperature and luminosity combine to imply a mass of between 10 and 11 times that of the Sun, and reveal a star that --consistent with its subgiant status -- is near the end of its 16-20 million-year hydrogen-fusing life.

		As the Markabs enter the de facto "quarantine" chamber, the Markab ambassador suggests that if they pray and are pure, the plague will "pass over" them -- a parallel with the original passover story, where a certain sign on the house door made a plague attacking the Egyptians pass over the Jews.
		Note that the Markab did have some contact with the Shadows last time they rose up, as evidenced by the Markab ambassador's speech in "The Long Dark" -- perhaps someone (not necessarily the Shadows; maybe the man at the bar was right) didn't want the Markab around to participate this time.
		What Colin misses, obviously, is that not all of the markabs are "mindless religious fanatics," in that Dr. Lazarenn was not one, but that was mainly because he had long been exposed to human/outsider ideas, which most of his reclusive people are not.

	51 Pegasi
		As 51 Pegasi has become one of the top 100 target stars for NASA's planned Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF), images of this star and its position relative to the Milky Way in Earth's night sky are now available from the TPF-C team.
		On February 19, 2006, Margaret Turnbull named 51 Pegasi as a Sun-like star that is old enough to qualify as a top-five candidate for those listening for radio signals from intelligent civilizations, such as the SETI Institute.
		The star has about 1.06 times the mass of Sol (51 Peg at exoplanets.org), 1.15 to 1.4 times its diameter (Henry et al, 2000; and Guillot et al, 1996), and 1.30 times its visual luminosity (51 Pegasi at the Observatoire de Genève).
