Topic: Operation Constellation


  
  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Constellation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
An "unofficial" constellation, that is, one that may be widely known but is not recognized by astronomers or the International Astronomical Union, is also called an asterism, such as The Plough (also known in the US as the Big Dipper) and the Little Dipper.
Twelve of the constellations in the southern celestial hemisphere were not observable by the Greeks, and were created by Dutch navigators Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman in the sixteenth century and first cataloged by Johann Bayer.
All modern constellation names are Latin proper names or words, and some stars are named using the genitive of the constellation in which they are found.

 Atlantic Wall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hitler had decreed that 10% of the steel and concrete used in the Atlantic Wall go to the Channel Islands, because of the propaganda value of controlling British territory.
Despite the mooting of Operation Constellation et al, the Allies bypassed the islands for this reason and did not try to liberate them when they liberated Normandy.
The islands' German garrisons did not surrender until 9 May 1945 one day after the rest of the German armed forces.

 ScienceDaily: Biology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Biology has become such a vast research enterprise that it is not generally regarded as a single discipline, but as a number of clustered sub-disciplines.
The first group consists of those disciplines that study the basic structures of living systems: cells, genes etc.; the second group considers the operation of these structures at the level of tissues, organs, and bodies; the third group considers organisms and their histories; the final constellation of disciplines focuses on their interactions.
It is important to note, however, that these boundaries, groupings, and descriptions are a simplified characterization of biological research.
