	Beehive Cluster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Beehive Cluster (also known as Praesepe, Messier 44 or NGC 2632) is an open cluster in the constellation Cancer.
		The cluster was known to Aratus by 260 BC and Charles Messier included it in his catalogue of cometlike objects despite its obvious nature as a star cluster.
		Messier 44's age is estimated at about 730 million years.

		Messier 44 (M 44) is a galactic open star cluster (or simply 'open cluster') located near the heart of the constellation Cancer.
		The two brighter stars flanking M 44 to the north and south, Gamma and Delta Cancri, were known to ancient mariners as Aselli (or ass's colts), which were seen to be gathered around the glimmering manger (the star cluster) on clear, moonless nights.
		Visually, the open cluster M 44 spans nearly two degrees of sky; therefore, it is of an object to view with common telescopes due to their narrow fields of view.

	Aquarius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is found in a region often called the Sea due to its profusion of watery constellations such as Cetus, Pisces, Eridanus, etc. Sometimes, the river Eridanus is depicted spilling from Aquarius' watering pot.
		There are three deep sky objects that are on the Messier catalog, the Globular Cluster M2, Globular Cluster M72, and the Open Cluster M73.
		Two planetary nebulae are found in Aquarius: NGC 7009, called the Saturn Nebula due to its resemblance to the planet, to the southeast of η Aquarii; and NGC 7293, the famous Helix Nebula, southwest of δ Aquarii.

	Printer Friendly Version - Captain meant everything to the Blueshirts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Messier, 44, was a free agent and easily could have signed on for another season with his old Edmonton Oilers team, but spending time with his family with no hockey on the horizon made it much simpler to decide.
		Hockey will go on without Messier, just as it did without his longtime teammate Wayne Gretzky, because that is simply the evolution of sports, but it is as clear as the huge trademark grin on Messier's face that it never will be the same.
		Everything is epic when it happens in New York, and while Messier would have been recalled as one of the game's all-time legends if he never had left the province of Alberta, he achieved mythic status in that single season on the Manhattan stage.

	At Age 44, Messier Retires After 25 Seasons in the N.H.L. - New York Times (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Messier's Hall of Fame credentials are well documented: 6 Stanley Cup championships, 16 All-Star selections, 694 goals and 1,887 points, second on the career points list to his longtime teammate on the Edmonton Oilers, Wayne Gretzky.
		Messier, with a jutting jaw and a scowling face, redefined the center position with a combination of size, talent and emotion.
		Although Messier and Glen Sather, the Rangers' president, said it was Messier's decision to retire, it was also clear that Messier, who scored 18 goals in each of his last two seasons, did not fit into the Rangers' plans.

		Messier 104, nicknamed the Sombrero Galaxy, is an unusual spiral galaxy with both a large central bulge and a prominent, dusky disk, which we see nearly edge-on.
		Messier 104 was also the origin of several important historical discoveries: it was the first galaxy in which dust lanes were seen, and also the first in which rotation was detected.
		Messier 88 is one of the more prominent spiral galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, a large collection of galaxies seen in the direction of the constellations Virgo and Coma Bernices.

		Charles Messier added it to his catalog on March 4, 1769.
		The Praesaepe cluster was classified by Trumpler as of class I,2,r (according to Kenneth Glyn Jones), as II,2,m by the Sky Catalog 2000, and as class II,2,r by Götz.
		As mentioned in the description for the Orion Nebula M42, it is a bit unusual that Messier added the Praesepe cluster (together with the Orion Nebula M42/M43 and the Pleiades M45) to his catalog, and will perhaps stay subject to speculation.

		Most of those came early in the season and he was a healthy scratch during the playoffs so the issue of gas in the tank remains a valid one.

		Chasing championships, however, did appeal to Messier, owner of six Stanley Cup rings, and there was speculation that he might be dealt to a Cup contender at the trade deadline in 2004.
		No, with Messier -- and we'll be saying the same thing about Steve Yzerman nine months from now -- it's about the leadership.

		It was with the Oilers, in his native city, that Messier evolved from a rambunctious young scrapper to a skilled superstar and five-time champion.
		But it wasn't until his arrival in New York in 1991 that Messier was able to fully emerge from the shadow of Gretzky and earn acclaim as one of the sport's greatest winners.
