Seleucia Sidera
Seleucia Sidera ( grc-gre, Σελεύκεια η Σιδηρᾶ, ''Seleukeia hê Sidêra''; la, Seleucia Ferrea), also transliterated as Seleuceia, Seleukeia, and later known as Claudioseleucia, Greek Klaudioseleukeia, was an ancient city in the northern part of Pisidia, Anatolia, near the village of Bayat (old name Selef), near Atabey, about 15 km north-northeast of Isparta, Isparta Province, in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey. Founded by Seleucus I Nicator or Antiochus I Soter to protect the military road across northern Pisidia. The city's surname ''Sidera'' (hê Sidêra, Ptol. v. 5. § 4; Hierocl. p. 673), is probably derives from iron-works in its vicinity. The city minted its own coins, some of which bear the image of the Asiatic divinity Men, who was worshipped at Antioch. The city was restored by the Roman emperor Claudius, and the name was changed to ''Claudioseleucia''. This name is retained on the city's coins down to the time of Claudius II, though in ...

Cosmica Sidera
The Galilean moons (), or Galilean satellites, are the four largest moons of Jupiter: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. They were first seen by Galileo Galilei in December 1609 or January 1610, and recognized by him as satellites of Jupiter in March 1610. They were the first objects found to orbit a planet other than the Earth. They are among the largest objects in the Solar System with the exception of the Sun and the eight planets, with a radius larger than any of the dwarf planets. Ganymede is the largest moon in the Solar System, and is even bigger than the planet Mercury, though only around half as massive. The three inner moons— Io, Europa, and Ganymede—are in a 4:2:1 orbital resonance with each other. While the Galilean moons are spherical, all of Jupiter's much smaller remaining moons have irregular forms because of their weaker self-gravitation. The Galilean moons were observed in either 1609 or 1610 when Galileo made improvements to his telescope, which enabl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sidera Lodoicea
Sidera Lodoicea is the name given by the astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini to the four moons of Saturn discovered by him in the years 1671, 1672, and 1684 and published in his ''Découverte de deux nouvelles planètes autour de Saturne'' in 1673 and in the ''Journal des sçavans'' in 1686. These satellites are today known by the following names, given in 1847: * Iapetus or Saturn VIII, discovered October 25, 1671 * Rhea or Saturn V, discovered December 23, 1672 * Tethys or Saturn III, discovered March 21, 1684 * Dione or Saturn IV, discovered March 21, 1684 The name ''Sidera Lodoicea'' means "Louisian Stars", from Latin ''sidus'' "star" and ''Lodoiceus'', a nonce adjective coined from ''Lodoicus'', one of several Latin forms of the French name ''Louis'' (reflecting an older form, ''Lodhuwig''). Cassini intended the name to honor King Louis XIV of France, who reigned from 1643 to 1715, and who was Cassini's benefactor as patron of the Paris Observatory, of which Cassini ...

Quem Terra, Pontus, Sidera
"Quem terra, pontus, sidera", also known by its more ancient name, "Quem terra, pontus, aethera", is a latin-language Christian hymn in long metre, in honour of the virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, attributed to Venantius Fortunatus. The Roman Breviary divides it into two parts: the first, beginning with "''Quem terra, pontus, sidera''", assigned to Matins; the second, beginning with "''O gloriosa virginum''", similarly assigned to Lauds. Both parts conclude with the doxology of Marian hymns, "''Jesu tibi sit gloria etc.''" As found in breviaries following the reforms of Urban VIII and preceding the reforms of Paul VI, the hymns are revisions, in the interest of classical prosody (music), prosody, of the older hymn, "''Quem terra, pontus, æthera''", found in many old breviaries and in manuscripts dating from the eighth century. Its ancient form was restored in the modern Liturgy of the Hours. In the Cistercian office it was sung officially at Compline during Advent. Sometimes it was d ...
