And One
And One is a German new wave, synthpop and EBM band founded by Steve Naghavi and Chris Ruiz in 1989. History The band formed after Steve Naghavi and Chris Ruiz met in 1989 at a Berlin club. Being fans of early EBM music, Naghavi and Ruiz decided to follow in the footsteps of new wave/synthpop band Depeche Mode by using two keyboards and a beatbox. Jason Ankeny of AllMusic called their 1990 single, "Metal Hammer", a "significant club hit". The duo became a trio with the addition of Alex Two, prior to the release of their debut album, ''Anguish'' in 1991. That same year, they were honored as the Best New Artist in western Germany. Going into the release of ''Anguish'', they had already garnered a decent following through touring and appearances at various parties. With their debut release, they took home the Best New Artist award in Germany in 1991. Chris Ruiz left in 1992 (he would later return in 2001) while Steve Naghavi remained with the band. And One released three more a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Andromeda I
Andromeda I is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) about 2.40 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. Andromeda I is part of the local group of galaxies and a satellite galaxy of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). It is roughly 3.5 degrees south and slightly east of M31. As of 2005, it is the closest known dSph companion to M31 at an estimated projected distance of ~40 kpc or ~150,000 light-years. Andromeda I was discovered by Sidney van den Bergh in 1970 with the Mount Palomar Observatory 48-inch telescope. Further study of Andromeda I was done by the WFPC2 camera of the Hubble Space Telescope. This found that the horizontal branch stars, like other dwarf spheroidal galaxies were predominantly red. From this, and the abundance of blue horizontal branch stars, along with 99 RR Lyrae stars detected in 2005, lead to the conclusion there was an extended epoch of star formation. The estimated age is approximately 10 Gyr. The Hubble telescope also found a globular cluste ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Omicron Andromedae
Omicron Andromedae (ο And, ο Andromedae) is a star system in the constellation Andromeda. It is approximately 692 light years from Earth. The system as a whole is classified as a blue-white B-type giant, with a mean combined apparent magnitude of +3.62. System Omicron Andromedae is a multiple star containing at least three components. It may consist of two close pairs in a wider orbit, making a four-star system, although the binarity of the primary star is in doubt. This star system has a peculiar velocity of . The components A and B were first resolved in 1949, when they were reported to be separated by less than 0.1". In 1975 they were separated by 0.375" and by 2014 by only 0.21". An orbit has been derived with a period of 118 years. The companion is 2.3 magnitudes fainter than the primary star. In 1975, a companion was discovered by speckle interferometry only 0.05" from component A. Components Aa and Ab orbit every 5.6 years, although the existence ...

Iota Andromedae
Iota Andromedae is a single star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. It has the Flamsteed designation 17 Andromedae, while ''Iota Andromedae'' is the Bayer designation as Latinized from ι Andromedae. This object is visible to the naked eye at night as a faint, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.29. Based upon parallax measurements, it is located approximately 500 light years distant from the Sun. This object is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B8 V. It is among the least variable stars observed during the Hipparcos mission. The star is 116 million years old with 3.1 times the mass of the Sun and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 70 km/s. It is radiating 638 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 12,620 K. The star is somewhat metal-poor, although the abundance of helium is close to solar. The latter excludes it from membershi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Three-point Play
In basketball, a three-point play is usually achieved by scoring a two-point field goal, being fouled in the act of shooting, and scoring one point on the subsequent free throw. Before the three-point field goal was created in the 1960s for professional basketball and 1980s for collegiate basketball, it was the only way to score three points on a single possession. It is sometimes called an old-fashioned three-point play to distinguish from the later three-point shot. And one is also sometimes used to refer to the extra free throw after a two-point basket. In FIBA The International Basketball Federation (FIBA ; French: ) is an association of national organizations which governs the sport of basketball worldwide.
