In the film, Prince's enemy is Ambassador Phantom of the Silver Star ( 銀星のまぼろし大使 ) ( who also appeared in one of the series ' story arcs ), or in the US version, Ambassador Dictator Phantom of the Planet Krankor.

Phantom claims that Planet Krankor is " half a million Earth miles " from Earth.

Phantom races back and forth between Earth and Krankor in his spaceships ( one of which resembles the Nautilus, the other resembling a metallic roast chicken ).

Phantom also keeps a grotesque giant humanoid creature as a guard for his palace on Krankor who is about as successful at stopping Prince as Phantom is himself.

On the show, there is a commercial for the album Candles, Krankor and You where the Ambassador Dictator Phantom sings various cover songs to popular music as " Unforgettable " and " Summer Wind ".

This seems highly unlikely, given that the Moon is less than 240, 000 miles from Earth, which would make Krankor quite visible from Earth.

After arriving in New Orleans — and witnessing slavery firsthand — he walked back home.

Cash remittances sent back home from Armenians working abroad — mostly in Russia and the United States — are growing and contribute significantly to Armenia's Gross Domestic Product ( between 15 to 30 percent ).

Having secured his pension, Dürer finally returned home in July 1521, having caught an undetermined illness — perhaps malaria — which afflicted him for the rest of his life, and greatly reduced his rate of work.

According to one anecdote ( from Al Capp Remembered, 1994 ), Capp and his brother Elliot ducked out of a dull party at Capp's home — leaving Walt Kelly alone to fend for himself entertaining a group of Argentine envoys who didn't speak English.

Throughout modern baseball, a few core statistics have been traditionally referenced — batting average, RBI, and home runs.

* AB / HR — At bats per home run: at bats divided by home runs.

* GS — Grand Slam: a home run with the bases loaded, resulting in four runs scoring, and four RBI credited to the batter.

* R — Runs scored: number of times a player crosses home plate

* TB — Total bases: one for each single, two for each double, three for each triple, and four for each home run

* R — Runs scored: times reached home plate legally and safely

* FIP — Fielding independent pitching: a metric, scaled to resemble an ERA, that focuses on events within the pitcher's control — home runs, walks, and strikeouts

* HRA — Home runs allowed: total home runs allowed

* WP — Wild pitches: charged when a pitch is too high, low, or wide of home plate for the catcher to field, thereby allowing one or more runners to advance or score

If he begins to run too soon, the pitcher may throw to a base rather than to home — in this case, the runner is picked off, and will most likely be tagged out.

As a consequence, home runs were rare, and the " inside game " dominated — singles, bunts, stolen bases, the hit-and-run play, and other tactics dominated the strategies of the time.

Every home game since May 15, 2003 has been sold out — a MLB record that has spanned almost nine years.

Cambridge was home to the famous Fireside Poets — so called because their poems would often be read aloud by families in front of their evening fires.

Like many other NFL teams located in temperate climates, the Panthers traditionally wear their white jerseys at home during the first half of the season — forcing opponents to wear their dark ones under the warm autumns in Charlotte.

The objective is to be first to race one's pieces across the hexagram-shaped gameboard into " home "— the corner of the star opposite one's starting corner — using single-step moves or moves which jump over other pieces.

On 22 November 2008 Charlton suffered a 2 – 5 loss to Sheffield United at home, which meant that the club had gone eight successive games without a win and had slipped into the relegation zone — particularly disastrous considering they were among the pre-season favourites for promotion.

When the angular velocity of this co-rotating frame is not constant, that is, for non-circular orbits, other fictitious forces — the Coriolis force and the Euler force — will arise, but can be ignored since they will cancel each other, yielding a net zero acceleration transverse to the moving radial vector, as required by the starting assumption that the vector co-rotates with the planet.

# if you could dramatically improve how we do that, you'd be boosting every effort on the planet to solve important problems — the sooner the better ; and

It has been estimated that about half of the Earth's mature tropical forests — between 7. 5 million and 8 million km < sup > 2 </ sup > ( 2. 9 million to 3 million sq mi ) of the original 15 million to 16 million km < sup > 2 </ sup > ( 5. 8 million to 6. 2 million sq mi ) that until 1947 covered the planet — have now been destroyed.

" By the end of the following year he had taken up the ukelele and tea-chest bass and begun to participate in skiffle sessions with friends, and had started to play the piano ; meanwhile his stage presentation of numbers by both Presley and Chuck Berry — complete with gyrations in tribute to the original artists — to his local Wolf Cub group was described as " mesmerizing ... like someone from another planet.

These structures are somewhat analogous to high-and low-pressure cells in Earth's atmosphere, but they have a very different structure — latitudinal bands that circle the entire planet, as opposed to small confined cells of pressure.

The Morning Star is, in fact, identical to the Evening Star — both are the planet Venus.

By ordering the solids correctly — octahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron, tetrahedron, cube — Kepler found that the spheres could be placed at intervals corresponding ( within the accuracy limits of available astronomical observations ) to the relative sizes of each planet ’ s path, assuming the planets circle the Sun.

Kryptonite is a fictional material from the Superman mythos — the ore form of a radioactive element from Superman's home planet of Krypton.

Still, in the book Protector ( 1973 ), the Martians are brutally exterminated by a large water asteroid deliberately hurled at the planet, raising the water content in the atmosphere to a degree deadly to them, by Jack Brennan, a human who had turned into a Pak Protector — a creature completely devoted to protecting its descendants, or sometimes his entire species, and is unreasonably xenophobic towards anybody else.

Each planet is a kind of petri dish in which a particular human culture — derived to some extent from a culture known historically on Earth — thrives and changes.

* In the 2008 video game LittleBigPlanet, the titular planet is described in terms similar to a noosphere — that is, it is the physical manifestation of idle human thoughts.

The Northern Hemisphere is the half of a planet that is north of its equator — the word hemisphere literally means “ half sphere ”.

The planet's low density ( about 40 % that of Earth ) suggests that the planet may have a substantial component of low-density gas — possibly hydrogen or steam.

At a specific velocity called escape velocity, again dependent on the firing height and mass of the planet, an open orbit such as ( E ) results — a parabolic trajectory.

Perhaps the best known was the planet of The Man Who Counts — Anderson adjusted its size and composition so that humans could live in the open air but flying intelligent aliens could evolve, and he explored consequences of these adjustments.

Picard and Data realize that Soran is altering the path of the ribbon by collapsing stars, and determine that Soran will attempt to reenter the Nexus on Veridian III by destroying its star — and, by extension, a heavily-populated planet in the system.

Dust would collect in orbits that have mean-motion resonances with this planet — where their orbital periods form integer fractions with the period of the planet — producing the resulting clumpiness.
