Since the publication of the Messier Catalogue, a number of galaxies have been identified by different historians, professional astronomers, and amateur astronomers as corresponding to M102.

Since a supernova explosion roughly occurs in a typical spiral galaxy every 100 years, astronomers use high-resolution images of NGC 3982 and other galaxies to detect stars which are nearing a similar explosive descent into supernovae.

Since stars, which comprise most of the visible matter in the universe, are composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, astronomers use for convenience the blanket term " metal " to describe all other elements collectively.

Since graze paths rarely pass over established observatories, amateur astronomers have become the primary recorders of graze data.

Since 2007, the Bernard Lyot Telescope is housing an echelle spectropolarimeter NARVAL, allowing astronomers to probe stellar magnetic fields to an exquisite sensitivity.

Since that time, the number of galaxies for which astronomers have measured redshifts has increased by several orders of magnitude.

Since microlensing observations do not rely on radiation received from the lens object, this effect therefore allows astronomers to study massive objects no matter how faint.

Since the Byzantine army was still holding on after this defeat the sultan thought it was time to set up his secret weapon, a huge mobile tower.

Since Chinese traditional thought focuses more on ethics rather than metaphysics, it has developed several schools distinct from the originating Indian schools.

Since the observation of the Champagne Supernova in 2003, more very bright type Ia supernovae are thought to have originated by white dwarfs whose masses exceeded the Chandrasekhar limit.

Since black holes are exact solutions of Einstein's equations, they were thought not to have any entropy either.

According to the what economist Nicholas Barr describes as the " classical definition of income :" the 1938 Haig-Simons definition, " income may be defined as the ... sum of ( 1 ) the market value of rights exercised in consumption and ( 2 ) the change in the value of the store of property rights ..." Since the consumption potential of non-monetary goods, such as leisure, cannot be measured, monetary income may be thought of as a proxy for full income.

Since Crawfurd was Scottish, he thought the Scottish " race " superior and all others inferior ; whilst Hunt, on the other hand, believed in the supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon " race ".

Since M-theory is thought to operate in 11 dimensions this problem then becomes very difficult.

If one adds two whole parts the result is one whole and if one whole is subtracted from another whole the result is another whole-it means there is one whole universe and it is all prevaded by " Him ". Since the universe has come forth from the Divine, all things and beings are sacred and must be treated so in human thought and action.

Since Whitehead, process thought is distinguished from Hegel in that it describes entities which arise or coalesce in becoming, rather than being simply dialectically determined from prior posited determinates.

Since the 1990s, new discoveries and more thorough study of old specimens have shown that crests are far more widespread among pterosaurs than previously thought, due mainly to the fact that they were frequently extended by or composed completely of keratin, which does not fossilize as often as bone.

Although catalysis of the peptide bond involves the C2 hydroxyl of RNA's P-site ( see Function section below ) adenosine in a protein shuttle mechanism, other steps in protein synthesis ( such as translocation ) are caused by changes in protein conformations. Since their catalytic core is made of RNA, ribosomes are classified as " ribozymes ," and it is thought that they might be remnants of the RNA world.

Since many of the Mitzvot themselves are thought to postdate the Book ( s ) of Samuel ( according to the documentary hypothesis ), Chronicles is probably making its claim based on religious bias.

Since it was his long-standing advocacy of Athenian naval power which enabled the Allied fleet to fight at all, and it was his stratagem that brought about the Battle of Salamis, it is probably not an exaggeration to say, as Plutarch does, that Themistocles " is thought to have been the man most instrumental in achieving the salvation of Hellas ".
