picture info	Karaka (tree) Karaka or New Zealand laurel (''Corynocarpus laevigatus'') is an evergreen tree of the family Corynocarpaceae endemic to New Zealand. It is common throughout the North and South Islands to Banks Peninsula (43°45′S) and Okarito (43°20′S), on the Three Kings Islands, on Raoul Island in the Kermadecs, and on the Chatham Islands. It is widespread in coastal habitats, often forming a major component of coastal forest, though it rarely dominates. Most botanists consider it to be native only to the northern half of the North Island, having been planted elsewhere by Māori near former village sites, and subsequently spread by birds. The common name karaka comes from the Māori language, and is also the Māori term for the colour orange, from the colour of the fruit. In the Chatham Islands, it is called ''kōpī'', its name in the Moriori language. It is naturalised and considered invasive in Hawaii. Description Karaka is a leafy canopy tree with erect or spreading branches. It ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Atmakaraka Atmakaraka (from Sanskrit ' 'soul', and ' 'significator') is the significator of the soul's desire in Jyotisha ( Hindu astrology). The Atmakaraka is either the Sun or one of the planets (as determined by the astrological chart) and has the strongest influence on the subject of the horoscope according to astrologers. Karakas In astrology, karakas are the "significators" that determine on which person or thing a planet has influence. Of these karakas, the most important is the Atmakaraka, significator of the soul, which rules the person who is the subject of the horoscope. The Rasi (Zodiac sign) and Nakshatra ( lunar mansion) in which the Atmakaraka is placed plays an important role in reading the nature of a subject from their chart. Counted as planets in this system are; * Ravi (English Sun) * Chandra (English Moon) * Kuja (English Mars) * Budha (English Mercury) * Guru (English Jupiter) * Sukra (English Venus) * Sani (English Saturn) In some versions, one or bot ...

	Karaka (star) HD 137388 is an orange-hued star in the southern constellation of Apus. It has the proper name Karaka, after the native New Zealand karaka tree. The name was assigned by representatives of New Zealand in the IAU's NameExoWorlds contest. The star is too faint to be visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 8.70. It is located at a distance of 132 light years from the Sun based on parallax. The star is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +26 km/s, having come as close as some 1.2 million years ago. It has an absolute magnitude of 5.75. The stellar classification of HD 137388 is K2IV, matching that of an evolving subgiant star. However, in 2011 Dumusque and colleagues found a class of K0/K1V, suggesting it is instead a K-type main-sequence star. It is around three billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 2.2 km/s. The star shows a magnetic activity cycle, similar to the solar cyc ...

picture info	Apus (constellation) Apus is a small constellation in the southern sky. It represents a bird-of-paradise, and its name means "without feet" in Greek because the bird-of-paradise was once wrongly believed to lack feet. First depicted on a celestial globe by Petrus Plancius in 1598, it was charted on a star atlas by Johann Bayer in his 1603 ''Uranometria''. The French explorer and astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille charted and gave the brighter stars their Bayer designations in 1756. The five brightest stars are all reddish in hue. Shading the others at apparent magnitude 3.8 is Alpha Apodis, an orange giant that has around 48 times the diameter and 928 times the luminosity of the Sun. Marginally fainter is Gamma Apodis, another ageing giant star. Delta Apodis is a double star, the two components of which are 103 arcseconds apart and visible with the naked eye. Two star systems have been found to have planets. History Apus was one of twelve constellations published by Petrus Plancius from the o ...
