Abram and Sarai were childless and likely to remain so. He was 85, she 76.. Then God, so the story goes, summoned Abram out of his tent one night. "Look now towards heaven, and count the stars." As Abram gazed up, the voice said "So shall thy seed be." The middle eastern sky at night was clear, with occasional smoke from campfires but few clouds. The sky Abram saw was filled with millions of visible stars. In Arabic their names would be Ibrahim and Sara. Click here to continue

© by Zane B. Stein kai -ron ] Chiron's Symbol
(has many faces)
Chiron is a major key to understanding, not only our solar system (in astronomy), but healing and wholemaking (in astrology.) It was discovered in 1977, and was so different from anything else ever found that a whole new category had to be invented for it. When Chiron was discovered to have company, in the early 1990's, this new category was given a name: The Centaurs. And these other bodies, too, are proving of major significance. First to be discovered was the body they named PHOLUS, next came NESSUS, ASBOLUS, CHARIKLO and HYLONOME. There are several more that have not as yet been named. I do not think that we can get a complete picture of who we are, or how to heal, unless we include these bodies as well. My name is Zane B. Stein, and I began studying Chiron only weeks after its discovery. These are my pages dedicated to Chiron and Friends. I hope that they open doors for you, the way Chiron has for me.

Flashteroids Version 1.2
. This is the second fully featured release, complete with "arcade" mode and an online hall of fame. Once in the game, you'll find a feedback page, so please send any comments or ideas you have for future versions.
Inspiration - Many thanks to James Shaughnessy, creator of Gravitation (Playstation) for the inspiration behind this game.
How to play
You control your ship using the arrow keys on your keyboard. Use up or down to thrust, left to rotate anti-clockwise and right to rotate clockwise. Press control to fire. The objective of each level is to hit seven targets that appear in sequence, without colliding with any of the scenery, in as little time possible. The hard levels feature anti-aircraft guns and missile launchers just to make it a bit more taxing. If you run low on fuel, you can land back at your base to re-fuel. Whilst on the base you have a shield to protect you from any incoming fire.
System Requirements and Troubleshooting
To play Flashteroids , you need macromedia flash player (version 5 or later) installed in your web browser. This comes pre-installed on many computers so it's likely that you already have it. Flashteroids will tell you if you don't. If you need to install flash player

ASTEROIDS Introduction Near-Earth Asteroids (NEA) Asteroids and Dinosaurs ... Web Links Asteroids ASTEROIDS Asteroid 253 Mathilde, a Near-Earth Asteroid photographed by NASA's NEAR (Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous) mission in June 1997. Mathilde is about 60 km in diameter and orbits in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids are rocky or metallic objects, most of which orbit the Sun in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter . A few asteroids approach the Sun more closely. None of the asteroids have atmospheres. Asteroids are also known as planetoids or minor planets. THE ASTEROID BELT The asteroid belt is a doughnut-shaped concentration of asteroids orbiting the Sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, closer to the orbit of Mars. Most asteroids orbit from between 186 million to 370 million miles (300 million to 600 million km or 2 to 4 AU) from the Sun. The asteroids in the asteroid belt have a slightly elliptical orbit. The time for one revolution around the Sun varies from about three to six Earth years. The strong gravitational force of the planet Jupiter shepherds the asteroid belt, pulling the asteroids away from the Sun, keeping them from careening into the inner planets.

How Asteroids Work
by Craig C. Freudenrich, Ph.D. Table of Contents Introduction to How Asteroids Work What is an Asteroid? Project NEAR NEAR Lands on Eros Lots More Information Shop or Compare Prices Credit NASA with another milestone in space exploration: On February 12, 2001, a spacecraft landed on the surface of an asteroid for the first time in history. After a year spent orbiting the asteroid 433 Eros, the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft made a controlled descent to the surface. But what exactly is an asteroid? And what was the NEAR Shoemaker mission about? Photo courtesy NASA/JHUAPL NEAR descends to the surface of 433 Eros. In this edition of HowStuffWorks , we will examine these tiny bodies of our solar system and the successful mission to study them.

    from: Robert Bast ... Sunday, June 06, 2004 "A meteorite the size of Mt. Everest plummeted into the Earth with such force nearly 2 billion years ago that it caused part of the Earth's crust to flip inside out..." "The meteorite landed in Sudbury, Ontario, 1.8 billion years ago, leaving a crater approximately 155 miles wide and causing the Earth's upper crust in that area to be buried under several kilometers of melted debris from the lower crust, said the researchers. The meteorite was traveling at over 89,000 mph when it hit, they estimated. " More...

    Description
    Your space craft is dangerously situated among fast moving asteroids in an asteroid belt that can destroy your ship on contact. Armed with a front mounted weapon and the ability to hyperspace, you fly through the debris, destroying each rock one piece at a time. Alien saucers visit the playfield from time to time with an eye towards destroying your ship!
    Cabinet Information
    The first Asteroids cabinets used a different coin-door. The quarters were placed through one of two round openings (large enough for the quarter to fit through). The quarter is placed flat against a wall just inside the opening and released. The quarter drops down for a credit. The display showing the cost of a credit is labeled between the two coin openings. The lettering describing the game play is also in yellow (instead of white) on the monitor overlay. The picture of the

    Backyard Astronomy formerly Barbara's Backyard Astronomy Page What a great start to the new year! Wonderful pictures of Mars coming from our rovers, Saturn well placed and looking good, a never before seen comet bright enough for large binoculars and small scopes, high in the west after sunset. And the sky is coming up galaxies!
    As you look toward the north at Ursa Major and farther east to Leo, ponder the mysteries of life, and know that you are looking outward from our home galaxy into the great expanse. You are looking at other vast islands of swirling stars in the darkness of space, they are where other worlds abide, perhaps with life like us, but so very far away. Let your eyes fully dark adapt and aim your scope carefully with the use of a good map, . . .Steady, go slowly, sweep the area, and you too will see these fascinating and oh so varied objects. Don't just look at the galaxy in the eyepiece, shrug and say "It looked just like the last one!". Because it didn't. Use a large dark bath towel over your head or pull your hood forward and up around the eyepiece, sealing out stray light. Study the object, does it seem uneven or misshapen, are there any bright spots in it? Can you see any others in the field of view? Don't just look at it really see it . Draw what you see, you will be amazed at the detail you can perceive while trying to draw a faint object.

    Coming soon the ultimate extinction machines?
    4 NOV 1998 Credit the blasted-from-space movies Deep Impact and Armageddon. Or blame the one-day scare from March, 1998, when headlines warned that a beefy asteroid could zoom within 30,000 kilometers of Earth or even sledgehammer our tender green planet in 2028. Within a day, egg-bespattered astronomers used 1990 data to issue a revised estimate. It's safe to say that the asteroid will miss us by a good 600,000 kilometers about twice the distance of the moon. Still, the confluence of events has put The Why Files in an asteroidal frame of mind. Nobody knows the destruction that would result from a collision with one of these sub-planetary objects, but the evidence points to sudden, catastrophic and global damage. You could say it's pretty amazing that 1998 turned out to be a boom year for asteroids. Unlike planets, these misshapen agglomerations of rock and debris are not named for ancient gods. Instead they must answer to clunky handles like "1997 YF11" or "1998 ML14"). Asteroids are also far punier than planets: Ceres, the largest, is about 1,000 kilometers in diameter, but most are under a kilometer across. Most asteroids orbit between Mars and Jupiter, crashing into each other in a silent version of 3-D bumper cars that slowly grinds them to bits.
