The late William T. Pecora, a former Director of the USGS, was quoted in a May 10, 1968, newspaper article in the Christian Science Monitor as being "especially worried about snow-covered Mt. St. Helens." On the basis of its youth and its high frequency of eruptions over the past 4,000 years, Crandell, Mullineaux, and their colleague Meyer Rubin published in February 1975 that Mount St. Helens was the one volcano in the conterminous United States most likely to reawaken and to erupt "perhaps before the end of this century." This prophetic
Physical size = angular size x 2 x distance / 360 • Understand that constellations are groups of stars as seen from the Earth – the stars may not be close to each other at all • Our view of the celestial sphere is determined by where we stand on the Earth o Study the diagrams that show the path of stars as they rise and set and how those paths appear to differ depending on your location on the Earth • Know what causes the seasons (tilt of the Earth’s axis to it’s orbital plane) o Depend on how Earth’s axis affects the directness of sunlight o Sun’s altitude is also higher in Summer and Lower in Winter Summer solstice – highest path Winter solstice – lowest path Equinoxes – sun rises at exactly due east and sets exactly due west • Review the Moon’s phases • New Moon • Waxing (Right side of moon visible) o Waxing

Paganism means to worship and love the earth. It means to celebrate the sun and the moon as the earth changes. Being pagan is to notice and celebrate the changing of the seasons. This paper will explain how similar these are to today’s Wiccan rituals. One example I have is the celebration of the sun.
The sacrifice of John Oakhurst in order to save the Duchess and Piney is also an example of common actuality. The exaggeration of the description of the geographical area to capture the local color is evident in this short story. The spot where the party halted on the first day is called singularly wild and impressive. It is described as a wooded amphitheatre surrounded by cliffs of granite on three sides and sloping over another cliff overlooking the valley. The use of words after the midnight storm and the sunrise on the third day - rolling of the clouds, the glittering of the stars, the coming out of the sun over the snow covered valley, the description of the snow - point to the picturesque.

Billy Bales Mr. Ward English III CP 13 December 2011 Symbolism of the Meteor in The Scarlet Letter The Scarlet Letter has so many parts that are symbolic like the Letter, Pearl, and the Meteor. " The appearance of the meteor at that particular moment in the book contributes to the plot in many ways" (Roberts). The meteor flying across the sky is a big part of how the book ends up. The meteor also changes characters, and their interactions in particular relationships. When the meteor is spotted there are many different interpretations.
184). One interesting contribution of the comet is the solar effect. The process starts by a comet approaching the sun. Once the comet approaches the sun, solar heat sublimates, or evaporates, the ices. This causes the comet to brighten enormously.
This He did during the day and in the night He give them light as a pillar of fire (אֵשׁ‎, ‘ēsh), (Exodus 13:21-22). Many commentators held to the thought of the cloud mentioned in Exodus and the cloud which guide the Israelites; descending and ascending on the Tabernacle, were in fact one of the same. Harrison suggested a view held by J.A. Thompson of these pillars of cloud having two different phenomena: (1) the guiding cloud, and (2) the cloud of God’s presence (Harrison 162). The cloud (עָנָן, ‘ānān) literally was the commanding power to the Israelites.
The concept of a sacred space or area reserved for a particular deity or purpose was fundamental, as was the corollary theory that such designated areas could correspond to each other. Heaven reflected Earth, and macrocosm echoed microcosm. The celestial dome was divided into 16 compartments inhabited by the various divinities: major gods to the east, astral and terrestrial divine beings to the south, infernal and inauspicious beings to the west, and the most powerful and mysterious gods of destiny to the north. The deities manifested themselves by means of natural phenomena, principally by lightning. They also revealed themselves in the microcosm of the liver of animals (typical is a bronze model of a sheep's liver found near Piacenza, bearing the incised names of divinities in its 16 outside divisions and in its internal
