Asteria (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Asteria (; Ancient Greek: Ἀστερία, "of the stars, starry one") was a name attributed to several distinct individuals. Individuals * Asteria, a minor goddess, daughter of Phoebe and Coeus. * Asteria or Astris, daughter of Helios and Clymene or Ceto, one of the Heliades. She married the river god Hydaspes (the modern Jhelum River) and became mother of Deriades, king in India. * Asteria, one of the Danaïdes, daughters of Danaus who, with one exception, murdered their husbands on their wedding nights. She was, briefly, the bride of Chaetus. * Asteria, one of the Alcyonides, daughters of the giant Alcyoneus. She was the sister of Alkippe, Anthe, Drimo, Pallene, Methone and Phthonia ( Phosthonia or Chthonia). When their father Alcyoneus was slain by Heracles, these girls threw themselves into the sea from Kanastraion, which is the peak of Pellene. They were then transformed into halcyons (kingfishers) by the goddess Amphitrite. * Asteria, daugh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Asteria (band)
Asteria is an American pop/rock band from Crown Point, Indiana. History Asteria formed in 2003 at Crown Point High School and began playing local shows, building a strong regional following. Their name was chosen by drummer Sam Henderson from a gardening book; it is an alteration of the word wisteria. After releasing their first album, 2004's ''Broken-Hearted Lullabies And Hope-Filled Dreams'', they played at the Indiana Region Rumble in 2004 and won a number of regional awards that year. Their second full-length ''A Lesson in Charades'' followed in May 2005, which soon after led to their signing to Carbon Copy Media, owned by J.T. Woodruff of Hawthorne Heights. However, the group eventually split with Carbon Copy and recorded their follow-up with producer John Naclerio. Naclerio decided to release the album on his own Broken English Records (a subsidiary of EastWest Records); the album was originally slated for a November 2006 release, but was pushed back to February 2007.

ASTERIA (spacecraft)
ASTERIA (Arcsecond Space Telescope Enabling Research in Astrophysics) was a miniaturized space telescope technology demonstration and opportunistic science mission to conduct astrophysical measurements using a CubeSat. It was designed in collaboration between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. ASTERIA was the first JPL-built CubeSat to have been successfully operated in space. Originally envisioned as a project for training early career scientists and engineers, ASTERIA's technical goal was to achieve arcsecond-level line-of-sight pointing error and highly stable focal plane temperature control. These technologies are important for precision photometry, i.e., the measurement of stellar brightness over time. Precision photometry, in turn, provides a way to study stellar activity, transiting exoplanets, and other astrophysical phenomena. ASTERIA was launched on 14 August 2017 and deployed into low Earth orbit from the Intern ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Asterias
''Asterias'' is a genus of the Asteriidae family of sea stars. It includes several of the best-known species of sea stars, including the (Atlantic) common starfish, ''Asterias rubens'', and the northern Pacific seastar, ''Asterias amurensis''. The genus contains a total of eight species in all. All species have five arms and are native to shallow oceanic areas (the littoral zone) of cold to temperate parts of the Holarctic. These starfish have planktonic larvae. ''Asterias amurensis'' is an invasive species in Australia and can in some years become a pest in the Japanese mariculture industry. History The genus ''Asterias'' was first described by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of Systema Naturae in 1758 when he published ''A. rubens''. It was for a time the only species, but by the early 1800s a few dozen taxa had been described in this genus. In 1825 Thomas Say listed six species native to the coasts of the United States (which at the time consisted of the east coast from M ...
