	Greek astronomy
		Astronomy was clearly a subject of major practical importance in sorting out the mess of these calendars and so observations began to be made to enable better schemes to be devised.
		As far as astronomy is concerned Plato had a negative effect, for although he mentions the topic many times, no dialogue is devoted to astronomy.
		As Berry goes on to say, this was very unfortunate for astronomy since the influence of the writings of Aristotle had an authority for many centuries which meant that astronomers had a harder battle than they might otherwise have had in getting the truth accepted.

	Cycles Research Institute - Astronomy
		Astronomy is the most ancient science, no doubt studied by people to keep track of the seasons so that the right time was known for hunting and planting and other activities.
		Other areas of cycles in astronomy are variable stars, binary stars, pulsars, galactic cores, solar oscillations and perhaps the oscillation of the entire universe.
		It is not possible, when considering astronomy from a cyclic point of view to not consider its relationship to astrology.

	ScienceMaster - JumpStart - Sea Turtles
		Sea turtles are graceful saltwater reptiles, well adapted to life in their marine world.
		Although sea turtles live most of their lives in the ocean, adult females must return to land in order to lay their eggs.
		Because sea turtles nest on land, responsibility for their conservation is shared between NMFS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).

	Mayan Astronomy - Crystalinks
		The construction of beautiful and splendid cathedral cities, fine arts of sculpture and painting, use of their own hieroglyphic script, success in astronomy, existence of the literature and the development of handicraft and trade were the outer expression of this cultural-economic rise.
		Accordingly to it, a stable coefficient of 584,283 or 584,285 days is added to the Mayan dates expressing the counts of days which have passed from a particular day to the date of a certain event.
		It is difficult to talk of Mayan astronomy itself because it was truly part of a greater discipline: religion.

	The Role Of Stellar Population Types In The Discussion Of Stellar Evolution
		In establishing a creation model of stellar (and galactic) astronomy, it is important to keep in mind the two different populations.
		For several decades astronomy has been dominated by the concept of stellar evolution which has achieved some success in giving a natural and totally physical explanation for a great number of observed properties of stars.
		Very little creationist criticism or commentary will be provided here: the purpose of this paper is to inform readers interested in developing a creationist astronomy of some of the stellar features that should be kept in mind with the goal of explaining them from the creationist perspective.

	Ancient Greek Astronomy - Crystalinks
		It is not surprising that, by the sixth century, these Ionian navigators of the sea began to develop new ideas about the sky they steered by.
		His most important contribution to astronomy was the claim that the moon's light is a reflection of the sun and that eclipses of the moon were caused by earth's shadow, eclipses of the sun by the moon passing before it.
		The Pythagoreans first proposed a non-geocentric system, perhaps partly on the basis of moral and religious grounds: to them, humanity and earth were imperfect, and only by sacrifice and a strict regimen of personal conduct could one strive to reach the divine.

	Spaceflight Now \| Breaking News \| Sea Launch malfunction blamed on software glitch
		The international Sea Launch consortium said Wednesday that a core team of Boeing experts had heard strong evidence and supporting rationale a software logic error was to blame.
		Sea Launch says the pneumatic system had lost more than 60 percent of its pressure, which reduced the engine's capability and meant the rocket did not gain the altitude and speed necessary to achieve orbit.
		Starting in April, the full Sea Launch Failure Review Oversight Board, headed by chief engineer Jim Maser, with representatives from customers and the aerospace industry will study and approve the investigation's findings and recommendations of what actions should be taken to fix the problem.

		The final countdown is underway as Sea Launch prepares for today's flight of a Zenit 3SL rocket from the Odyssey platform positioned along the equator in the Pacific Ocean.
		Sea Launch is set to make a crucial and widely watched return to service today as a Ukrainian-Russian Zenit 3SL rocket blasts off from an oceangoing platform in the Pacific carrying a telecommunications satellite for PanAmSat.
		It will be Sea Launch's return-to-flight after a failure in March, and the fourth mission overall for the unique commercial space service that launches the joint Ukrainian and Russian rocket from a converted Norwegian oil drilling platform in the Pacific Ocean.

	SPACE.com -- Salty Sea Covered Part of Mars: 'Excellent' Site to Search for Past Life
		The sinuous curves seen in the face of this rock, known as the Upper Dells, are definitive evidence that standing water was moving on the Martian surface in the past.
		An ancient sea also implies that early Mars was warmer than today, said University of Colorado geologist Bruce Jakosky, who was not directly involved in the finding.
		The researchers cautioned that their results so far do not allow them to determine if the sea was deep and long-lasting, or if it was very shallow and receded rapidly.

		Saturn's moon Titan might be one of the most out-of-this world places to hang ten, according to new computer modeling that suggests a given wind could generate waves there that are seven times taller than on Earth.
		Ghafoor and colleagues considered several factors -- Titan's gravity, the likely composition and density of the atmosphere and any possible seas, and probable wind speeds -- to generate wave scenarios using modified version of terrestrial ocean computer models.
		If Huygens lands in a sea, it could float and transmit data for up to two hours.
