Equiano is named for the abolitionist writer Olaudah Equiano, who lived from 1750 to 1797. Equiano has patches of bright material near its central peak, and these may be hollows. To the northeast of Equiano is Mofolo crater, and to the northwest is Neumann crater.

HD 43197 B
HD 43197 b is an extrasolar planet which orbits the G-type main sequence or subgiant star HD 43197, located approximately 204 light years away in the constellation Canis Major. This planet has a minimum mass 55% that of Jupiter and takes 0.85 years to orbit the star at a semimajor axis of 0.882 AU. Its has a high eccentricity of 0.74, but its inclination is not known. This planet was detected by HARPS on October 19, 2009, together with 29 other planets. In 2022, a second super-Jovian planet was discovered orbiting HD 43197 using a combination of radial velocity and astrometry. Assuming HD 43197 b shares the outer planet's orbital inclination, its true mass would be about . The planet HD 43197 b is named Equiano. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Nigeria, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU The International Astronomical Union (IAU; french: link=yes, Union astronomique internationale, UAI) is a nongovernmental organisation with the objecti ...

Equiano (submarine Communications Cable)
Equiano is a private transatlantic communications cable that connects western Europe ( Portugal) with southern Africa ( Melkbosstrand, South Africa). Branching points along the way connect to Togo, Nigeria, the island of St. Helena and Namibia. The cable was announced by Google in June 2019 and was originally due to go live in 2021. After delays due to COVID-19 and other issues, Equiano was eventually launched by Google in September 2022, having reached its final destination of South Africa. SEACOM began services on the cable in March 2023. History In June 2019, Google announced that it would be investing in another private international subsea cable — Equiano — its third private subsea cable after Curie (completed in 2019), and Dunant (completed in 2020). The Equiano cable, which will link Europe with western and southern Africa was named for Olaudah Equiano, a Nigerian-born writer and abolitionist. The cable was built and laid by Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Netw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
