Apollo 13 The Mission Insignia for Apollo 13 showed the god Apollo, representing the Sun, riding his chariot across the surface of the Moon to symbolize the Apollo Project bringing back new knowledge from the Moon. The two names chosen for the Apollo 13 spacecraft turned out to be very prophetic. The Command Module was called Odyssey from Homer and Arthur C. Clarke’s fictitious works.

The Lunar Module was called after the sign of the Zodiac and star constellation Aquarius, the water carrier, at times identified with Zeus pouring the waters of life down from the heavens.

When the planets were given names relating to the gods, during the ancient times of Greek astronomy, the fastest planet was named for the winged one and that was Hermes. Hermes is the son of Zeus and Mai.
Hermopolis was named so by the Greeks because they identified the city’s chief god, Thoth, with their god Hermes. Although Thoth was the chief god of Hermopolis, the Hermopolitans recognized Amun of the Ogdoad as their primary god of creation. Amun is referred to as the “hidden one” and is described to be “manifested in the sun, the primeval mound (Ta-tenen), and the precreation universe.” [1]. Another interesting myth from the Hermopolitans is that of the egg which created everything.

The Scratch of a Pen The year of 1763 marked an important year in the transformation of North America. This year marked many struggles in America between the Indians, British, Spanish, French, and the colonist. The events of 1763 not only redrew the political map of North America, but the also changed its human geography.

We judge ones IQ by the color of their hair, their occupations by ones physical appearance, and even their criminal history without even having one by the color of their skin. Stereotyping has been throughout centuries, it has been brought forth since the time of war when neighboring countries would meet and come into conflict. Today it seems it has been raised in a more subtle and convert
In 1610, Galileo published Sidereus describing the observations that he had made of the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter. He went on to propose a theory of tides in 1616. He argued that the tides were evidence for the movement of the Earth, and believed the heliocentric theory of Nicolas Copernicus. His findings proved that the Earth moved, and directly contradicted Christian doctrine. In particular, the phases of Venus, which showed it to circle the sun, and the observation of moons orbiting Jupiter contradicted the geocentric model where the orbit of all celestial bodies was centered on the Earth.
