♉ Taurus, Latin for “bull,” is one of the oldest constellations, its observation dating back tens of thousands of years. In fact, 40,000-year-old Paleolithic cave paintings of Taurus exist in the Hall of the Bulls in the caves at Lascaux, located in the southwest of France. Taurus takes the form of the bull in many mythologies of numerous cultures throughout history. In the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the world’s first works of literature, the goddess Ishtar asks her father, Anu, to send

Ethan is describing how he feels about Mattie saying how she understands him and how he can tell her things like “‘That's Orion down yonder; the big fellow to the right is Aldebaran, and the bunch of little ones—like bees swarming—they're the Pleiades…’” and she is entranced by what he says. This line is a metaphor for his life as each character is
important to help human beings in their daily lives. Some of the potential products of using robotics technology are mentioned below: 5.2 Potential Product, NAO Who is NAO? NAO is an autonomous, advanced-programmable humanoid robot. NAO is created by Aldebaran Robotics, a French robotics company headquartered in Paris. The launch of Project NAO was begun by the robot’s development in 2004. On 15th August 2007, Sony’s robot dog, Aibo was replaced by NAO as the robot used in the RoboCuo Standard Platform
used by Copernicus, Brahe and Kepler. They invented the Equatorium, compass dial, and cartographic Qiblah instruments. They also discovered many stars, which are still recognized by their Arabic names such as Betelgeuse, Alhadide, Rigel, Algol, Aldebaran, Almucantar, and the stars of the Summer Triangle, The Arabic influence can also be seen in terms, such as zenith, nadir, Aledo, azimuth. Muslim astronomers were also the first to establish a large number of huge observatories. In these observatories
1. The Ancient Catalogs Astronomy was born in the five cradles of civilization, along the Nile Valley in Egypt, the Indus Valley along the western region of the Indian subcontinent, the Chinese city states on the banks of the Yellow River, the ancient regions of Me-soamerica from central Mexico down to the Andean South America and the an-cient city states of Mesopotamia in the fertile crescent. Each of these ancient cul-tures incorporated astronomy into calendar making, religion, mythology, and
and the 12 Zodiacal Constellations”). Taurus is the most famous and visible out of the zodiac constellations. Taurus was first classified by Ptolemy, the Greek astronomer. Taurus dates all the way back to the Bronze Age. The brightest stars are Aldebaran and Alpha Tauri. Alsebaran is the 13th brightest star The constellation is famous for Pleiades/ Messier 45, or also called the Seven Sisters and the Hyades. Taurus is the 17th largest constellation in the sky, it is 797 square degrees. The constellations
The robotic technology development is gaining momentum in the 21st century. A robot can be defined as a machine that performs different tasks and can be programmed by humans (Pangka, Hui and Yan 2013). The qualities of robots such as tirelessness and lack of emotionality makes them perfect task performers. Robots are used in many spheres such as domestic service, military, and healthcare. There are also several types of robots used in medicine. Robots can be used as nurse assistants, patient companions
away from Earth. The myth of how the constellation got into the space is something we will never know. Some Greeks heard legends and stories of Orion, but there was no such thing. In some legends he is seen fighting Taurus, the bull. The star Aldebaran, is the eye of the bull. During the night, many individuals say that the stars can be seen around 8:30p.m. - 9:00 p.m. The star Alnitak is a hot blue super giant, it cannot be seen by the human eye, because of the immense amounts of ultra violet
Think ten years into the future, as you come home from work and the house has been cleaned, the kids have started their homework, and dinner is almost finished. After dinner you sit back and relax as your children are put to bed and the kitchen is cleaned, soon you go take a bath that has already been prepared for you. Your personal robot completing the long list of chores you left for it has plugged itself in for the night and will be ready for more work tomorrow. Domestic robots or service robots
The Third Level Jack Finney’s The Third Level is the story of Charley’s adventures on the hidden third level of Grand Central Station. No one believes that there is a third level, so Charley talks to Sam, a phsyciatrist friend of his, to try and understand what happened to him. His friend believes that he imagined the third level as a way to deal with the troubles of normal life. Charley talks about how one night as he was trying to take the subway to get home to his wife he got lost and found himself
1). If you really want to see the Orion Nebula up close then you need to use the Hubble Space Telescope to view it (Fuller 1). Since the Orion Nebula is so easy to find, it is a useful aid in finding other stars surrounding it including Sirius, Aldebaran, and Procyon (Garza 1). The Orion Nebula was also one of the first nebulae to be photographed (Britannica 1). Henry Drapper was the photographer and took the photograph in 1880 (Britannica 1). The Orion Nebula originated from the Greeks. Orion has
