Themis was the daughter of Uranus and Gaea.
According to Aeschylus, Themis had married her brother Iapetus (before she was wife of Zeus), and became the mother of the Titan Prometheus.
Themis was seen as the seated goddess, wearing a blindfold over her eyes; the blindfold symbolised her impartiality in judgement and setting reward or penalty to the dead.

Themis told the Titan Prometheus (who called her "mother", but so he called Gaia too, as some will have it that Gaia and Themis were one and the same) not to join the TITANS in their war against the OLYMPIANS, because as she prophesied, in that war, the clever, not the brute, would prevail.
Themis was deemed guardian of men's oaths and for that reason also called goddess of oaths.

THEMIS is a five-satellite mission with the job of determining the causes of the global reconfigurations of the Earth's magnetosphere that are evidenced in auroral activity.
THEMIS consists of 5 small satellites, carrying identical suites of electric, magnetic, and particle detectors, that will be put in carefully coordinated orbits.
On the road to the moon, the mission of Apollo 9 stands as an important gateway in experience and procedures.

 Themis
Themis is known as the Greek Goddess of Justice.
“The Greeks called the concept of connectedness Themis, and saw it as an abstract principle of Law and Justice.” (1) If you view a definition of Justice as “rendering to everyone that which is his due” (2), we can see the concept of connectedness at work.

The photographic plates on which it supposedly appeared, thirteen in all, spanned a period between April 17 and July 8, 1904.
Pickering attempted to compute an orbit, which showed a fairly high orbital inclination (39.1° to the ecliptic), fairly large eccentricity (0.23) and a distance (semi-major axis of 1,457,000 km) approximately the same as that of Titan and Hyperion.
Pickering estimated the diameter at 38 miles (61 km), but since he also gave 42 miles (68 km) as the diameter of Phoebe, he was clearly overestimating the albedo; using the modern figure for Phoebe gives Themis a diameter of 200 km.

 Janus (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Janus occupies essentially the same orbit as the moon Epimetheus.
The outer moon, in turn, loses an equal amount of momentum and drops into a lower orbit at the same time, effectively speeding it up.

The THEMIS mission will determine the timing of magnetospheric events causing the sudden change in aurora: a single motionless, green auroral arc changes to many colorful (purple, red, green, and white) auroral forms dancing across the sky.
THEMIS is named after the Themis, the Goddess of Justice, because the mission goal is to objectively and justly determine which of the two models are correct.
The THEMIS mission is essential for understanding Earth’s space environment and is a key prerequisite to understanding space weather.

The different temperatures tell us how the rocks of Mars are responding to the influence of sunlight and night, and from this we can see details of rock structure that are invisible to the naked eye, or hidden under a thin shroud of dust.
Today at the AGU conference in San Francisco, members of the Themis team reported to fellow scientists on the first 6 months of IR images of Mars, and the audience listened eagerly to the new results.
Finding both signatures in a single caldera, and typing both via IR images to solid rock lava flows shows that we need to extend our understanding of magma formation on Mars to show how two such different types can be produced in a single crater, apparently very closely spaced in time.

It is roughly 50% larger than Earth's moon by diameter, and is larger by diameter and mass than all known dwarf planets.
Titan's diameter and mass (and thus its density) are similar to Jovian moons Ganymede and Callisto.
Though similar in composition to Rhea and the rest of Saturn's moons, it is denser due to gravitational compression.

A onetime Trojan to the Earth that, once its size grew to roughly that of Mars, became unstable in its orbit and collided with the Earth, transforming its crust and upper mantle into a magma ocean, and ejecting massive amounts of light material into orbit, which eventually coalesced into the Moon.
This theory is known as the giant impact hypothesis.

With Anaetis came the lights of the Sky, Sun, Moon, and Stars, the Sun to mark day versus night, and the Moon and stars to mark the smaller and greater passing of Time, one of Gaea's greatest inventions.
