Over the last few hundred years, the number of identified astronomical objects has risen from hundreds to over a billion, and more are discovered every year. Astronomers need to be able to assign systematic designations to unambiguously identify all of these objects, and at the same time give names to the mo ...

The idea of creating a chess-playing machine dates back to the eighteenth century. Around 1769, the chess playing automaton called The Turk became famous before being exposed as a hoax.

Since then, chess enthusiasts and computer engineers have built, with increasing degrees of seriousness and s ...

Many Mizrahi communities existed in Arab countries, and at various times spoke a number of Judeo-Arabic dialects, though these are now mainly used as a second language. Among other languages associated with Mizrahim are Dzhidi, Gruzinic, Bukhori, Kurdish, Judeo-Berber, Juhuri and Judeo-Aramaic dialects. Most of the many notable philosophical, religious, and grammatical works of the Mizrahim were written in Arabic using a modified Hebrew alphabet. ...

Among secular Israelis, Yosef is mainly famous for being the leader of the political party called Shas and for his fierce and sharp rhetoric, often combined with curses and ill-wishes to hated political leaders. Some argue that Yosef's quotes are hate speech. Ovadia Yosef - Politics. Reactions to Yosef's "political" quotes have ranged from laughter to fury. The Hofesh movement has called for Yosef to be tried for incitement. Shas spokespeople and Yosef's followers argue that his quotes are taken out of context and that they include technical religious terms which the average person is not ...

Anticipation was high as the predicted date for the collisions approached, and astronomers trained their telescopes on Jupiter. Several space observatories did the same, including the Hubble Space Telescope, the ROSAT X-ray observing satellite, and significantly the Galileo spacecraft, then on its way to a rendezvous with Jupiter scheduled for 1996. While the impacts would take place on the side of Jupiter hidden from Earth, Galileo, then at a distance of 1.6 AU from the planet, would be able to see the impacts as they occurred. Jupiter's rapid rotation would bring the impact sites into view for terrest ...

Despite being particularly powerful for the time, the machine was not a commercial success. The Amstrad CPC 464 was released before the Enterprise, was less powerful, but included a monitor and cassette recorder, and retailed for less. The CPC in fact had a strikingly similar colour scheme to the Enterprise, and it may be that Amstrad boss Alan Sugar had seen a prototype. After the initial manufacturing run of 80,000 units it is not believed that any further units were made, making the Enterprise an extraordinarily collectible item in ...

The Likud's roots are Zeev Jabotinsky's Revisionist Zionist movement which became the Herut party and was the main opposition to the Labour Zionist Mapai party. The Likud was formed by the joining together of La'am (made up of the Free Center, State List and the "Movement for Greater Israel") and Gahal (Gush Herut Liberalim) in preparation for the 1973 elections. It quickly became and remains to this day the conservative party in Israel. The Likud worked as a coalition of its factions led by Menachem Begin's Herut until 1988 when the factions formally dissolved and Likud ...

The party joined Ehud Barak's One Israel coalition, ultra-Orthodox orientalist Shas, David Levy's social pressure group Gesher, the leftist Meretz, the National Religious Party, and immigrant sector faction Yisrael Ba'aliya in one of the least united governments in Israel's history. In retrospect Mordechai would have been one of the more outstanding ministers (he was both deputy premier and minister of transport) if a sex scandal from his years in the army hadn't erupted and brought him down.

According to the IAU, apart from a limited number of bright stars with historic names, stars do not have proper names. Where historic names exist, these names are, with a few exceptions, taken from the Arabic language: this reflects the leading role of Arab culture in astronomy while Europe was experiencing the Middle Ages. See List of traditional star names for a list of some of these names. There are no more than a few thousand stars that appear sufficiently bright in the Earth's sky to be visible to the naked eye, so this represent ...
