He awaits rescue by the space pilot Jaffar, the exiled prince Matton, his sister Belle and Jaffar's old friend Silbad who are trying to reach Perdide and save Piel before it is too late.

He plans to reach Perdide by being pulled along by the gravitational field of the Blue Comet.

A man named Claude is driving a six-wheeled, insect-like vehicle over the desert surface of Perdide very fast.

But he's several planetary systems away, and does not go directly to Perdide or the Blue Comet.

Thereby Jaffar acquires a crew of misfits on the journey to Perdide.

Perdide and everything on it, including Piel, is sent back 60 years through time.

Silbad, when first describing Perdide to Jaffar and Belle, had revealed a metal plate on his head to repair the damage of this attack, but never demonstrated explicit knowledge of Piel, his parents ' death, or time travel.

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.

The Bishop of London — the most senior cleric of the church with the exception of the two archbishops — serves as Canterbury's provincial dean, the Bishop of Winchester as chancellor, the Bishop of Lincoln as vice-chancellor, the Bishop of Salisbury as precentor, the Bishop of Worcester as chaplain and the Bishop of Rochester as cross-bearer.

The sculptor Edmé Bouchardon represented Cupid engaged in carving his darts of love from the club of Hercules ( illustration ); this serves as an excellent symbol of the Rococo style — the demigod is transformed into the soft child, the bone-shattering club becomes the heart-scathing arrows, just as marble is so freely replaced by stucco.

Differences in the human leukocyte antigen ( HLA ) system — a group of genes in chromosome 6 that serves as the major histocompatibility complex ( MHC ) in humans — increase the probability of suffering MS.

Fleur-de-Lys later neglects to inform Phoebus that Esmerelda has not been executed, which serves to deprive the pair of any further contact — though as Phoebus no longer loves Esmerelda by this time, this does not matter.
