Pholus has not come within one astronomical unit of a planet since 764 BC, and will not until 5290.

Pholus was the second centaur to be discovered and was quickly found to be quite red in color, for which it has been occasionally nicknamed " Big Red ".

The surface composition of Pholus has been estimated from its reflectance spectrum using two spatially segregated components: dark amorphous carbon and an intimate mixture of water ice, methanol ice, olivine grains, and complex organic compounds ( tholins ).

Unlike the first centaur, 2060 Chiron, Pholus has shown no signs of cometary activity.

As examples of the second category, the reddish colour of Pholus has been explained as a possible mantle of irradiated red organics, whereas Chiron has instead had its ice exposed due to its periodic cometary activity, giving it a blue / grey index.

Alternatively, Pholus may have been only recently expelled from the Kuiper belt, so that surface transformation processes have not yet taken place.

Water ice signatures have been confirmed on a number of centaurs ( including 2060 Chiron, 10199 Chariklo and 5145 Pholus ).

An example is as follows: For minor planet ( 5145 ) Pholus, orbital elements have been given including the following data:

The diameter of Pholus is estimated to be 185 ± 16 km.

After the taunting, Virgil and Dante pass quickly by to the centaurs, ( Nessus, Chiron, Pholus, and Nessus ) who guard the Flegetonte, " river of blood ", to continue through the seventh Circle.

* A centaur planetoid, 5145 Pholus, discovered in 1992 by David L. Rabinowitz

* Lycomorpha Pholus, a black and red moth in the genus Lycomorpha classified by Dru Drury

It was discovered by David L. Rabinowitz, then of the University of Arizona's Spacewatch Project, and named after Pholus, the brother of the mythological Chiron, after which 2060 Chiron was named, in order to follow the tradition of naming this class of outer planet-crossing objects after centaurs.

Centaurs ' orbits are characterised by a wide range of eccentricity, from highly eccentric ( Pholus, Asbolus, Amicus, Nessus ) to more circular ( Chariklo and the Saturn-crossers: Thereus, Okyrhoe ).

Phoebe ( moon ) | Phoebe and 5145 Pholus | Pholus are not trans-Neptunian.

On the way there, Hercules visited Pholus (" caveman "), a kind and hospitable centaur and old friend.

Pholus had only one jar of wine, a gift from Dionysus to all the centaurs on Mt.

Pholus was curious why the arrows caused so much death, and picked one up but dropped it, and the arrow stabbed his foot, poisoning him.

5145 Pholus ( ; from ) is a centaur in an eccentric orbit, with a perihelion less than Saturn's and aphelion greater than Neptune's.

It is believed that Pholus originated as a Kuiper belt object.

Sedna and two other very distant objects ( and ) share their colour with outer classical Kuiper belt objects and the centaur 5145 Pholus, suggesting a similar region of origin.

When Heracles came to visit the centaur Pholus, Pholus opened a jug of wine for him which belonged to all the Centaurs ; Asbolus saw Pholus do this and brought the other Centaurs running.

The party got rowdy and a battle ensued in which Pholus and Chiron, as well as Nessus, met their deaths at Heracles ' hands.

Besides I heard her old uncle that stays there has been doin' it ''.

Southern resentment has been over the method of its ending, the invasion, and Reconstruction ; ;

The situation of the South since 1865 has been unique in the western world.

The North should thank its stars that such has been the case ; ;

As it is, they consider that the North is now reaping the fruits of excess egalitarianism, that in spite of its high standard of living the `` American way '' has been proved inferior to the English and Scandinavian ways, although they disapprove of the socialistic features of the latter.

In what has aptly been called a `` constitutional revolution '', the basic nature of government was transformed from one essentially negative in nature ( the `` night-watchman state '' ) to one with affirmative duties to perform.

For lawyers, reflecting perhaps their parochial preferences, there has been a special fascination since then in the role played by the Supreme Court in that transformation -- the manner in which its decisions altered in `` the switch in time that saved nine '', President Roosevelt's ill-starred but in effect victorious `` Court-packing plan '', the imprimatur of judicial approval that was finally placed upon social legislation.

Labor relations have been transformed, income security has become a standardized feature of political platforms, and all the many facets of the American version of the welfare state have become part of the conventional wisdom.

Historically, however, the concept is one that has been of marked benefit to the people of the Western civilizational group.

In recent weeks, as a result of a sweeping defense policy reappraisal by the Kennedy Administration, basic United States strategy has been modified -- and large new sums allocated -- to meet the accidental-war danger and to reduce it as quickly as possible.

The malignancy of such a landscape has been beautifully described by the Australian Charles Bean.

There has probably always been a bridge of some sort at the southeastern corner of the city.

Even though in most cases the completion of the definitive editions of their writings is still years off, enough documentation has already been assembled to warrant drawing a new composite profile of the leadership which performed the heroic dual feats of winning American independence and founding a new nation.

Madison once remarked: `` My life has been so much a public one '', a comment which fits the careers of the other six.

Thus we are compelled to face the urbanization of the South -- an urbanization which, despite its dramatic and overwhelming effects upon the Southern culture, has been utterly ignored by the bulk of Southern writers.

But the South is, and has been for the past century, engaged in a wide-sweeping urbanization which, oddly enough, is not reflected in its literature.

An example of the changes which have crept over the Southern region may be seen in the Southern Negro's quest for a position in the white-dominated society, a problem that has been reflected in regional fiction especially since 1865.

In the meantime, while the South has been undergoing this phenomenal modernization that is so disappointing to the curious Yankee, Southern writers have certainly done little to reflect and promote their region's progress.

Faulkner culminates the Southern legend perhaps more masterfully than it has ever been, or could ever be, done.

The `` approximate '' is important, because even after the order of the work has been established by the chance method, the result is not inviolable.

But it has been during the last two centuries, during the scientific revolution, that our independence from the physical environment has made the most rapid strides.

In the life sciences, there has been an enormous increase in our understanding of disease, in the mechanisms of heredity, and in bio- and physiological chemistry.

Even in domains where detailed and predictive understanding is still lacking, but where some explanations are possible, as with lightning and weather and earthquakes, the appropriate kind of human action has been more adequately indicated.

The persistent horror of having a malformed child has, I believe, been reduced, not because we have gained any control over this misfortune, but precisely because we have learned that we have so little control over it.
