Lambda, Mu, Xi, Nu, Gamma, and Alpha Ceti represented its head ; Omicron, Zeta, and Chi Ceti represented its body ; Eta Eri, Tau Cet, and Upsilon Cet marked its legs and feel ; and Theta, Eta, and Beta Ceti delineated its tail.

* Plateau in the Tau Ceti system is Venus-like, with a plateau ( called Mount Lookitthat ), half the size of California, rising high enough out of the dense atmosphere to be habitable.

Drake used a radio telescope 26 meters in diameter at Green Bank, West Virginia, to examine the stars Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani near the 1. 420 gigahertz marker frequency, a region of the radio spectrum dubbed the " water hole " due to its proximity to the hydrogen and hydroxyl radical spectral lines.

Tau Ceti ( τ Cet, τ Ceti ) is a star in the constellation Cetus that is spectrally similar to the Sun, although it has only about 78 % of the Sun's mass.

Tau Ceti is metal-deficient and so is thought to be less likely to host rocky planets.

Observations have detected more than ten times as much dust surrounding Tau Ceti as is present in the Solar System.

Astrometric or radial velocity measurements have not yet detected companions around Tau Ceti, but given current search refinement, this only excludes substellar companions such as large brown dwarfs.

Because of its debris disk, any planet orbiting Tau Ceti would face far more impact events than the Earth.

Given its stability, similarity and relative proximity to the Sun, Tau Ceti is consistently listed as a target for the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence ( SETI ), and it appears in some science fiction literature.

Tau Ceti does not have a widely-recognized traditional name.

As seen from Tau Ceti, the Sun would be a third-magnitude star in the constellation Boötes .< ref group =" nb "> From Tau Ceti the Sun would appear on the diametrically opposite side of the sky at the coordinates RA =, Dec =, which is located near Tau Boötis.

Tau Ceti, the Bayer designation for this star, was established in 1603 as part of the Uranometria, a star catalogue produced by German celestial cartographer Johann Bayer.

Tau Ceti is considered to be a high-proper-motion star, although it only has an annual traverse of just under two arc seconds .< ref group =" nb "> The net proper motion is given by:

In the case of Tau Ceti, the parallax measurements indicate a distance of.

In the case of Tau Ceti, the radial velocity is about − 17 km / s, with the negative value indicating that it is moving toward the Sun.

The distance to Tau Ceti, along with its proper motion and radial velocity, allow the motion of the star through space to be calculated.

Her husband, who is the son of Alton John Mason of Shreveport, La., and the late Mrs. Henry Cater Parmer, was president of Alpha Tau Omega and a member of Delta Sigma Pi at Lamar Tech, and did graduate work at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa, on a Rotary Fellowship.

However, the " A " is sometimes omitted ; for example the first planet discovered around the primary star of the Tau Boötis binary system is usually called simply Tau Boötis b.

In later years Anderson completely repudiated this idea ( a half-humorous remnant is the beginning of Tau Zero — a future where the nations of the world entrusted Sweden with overseeing disarmament and found themselves living under the rule of the Swedish Empire ).

The Sun ( left ) is both larger and somewhat hotter than the less active Tau Ceti ( right ).

The Tau Ceti system is believed to have only one stellar component.

Most of what is known about the physical properties of Tau Ceti has been determined through spectroscopic measurements.

By this means the rotation period for Tau Ceti is estimated to be.

The entries for Joshua under Tau, for example, read as follows:

Tau use one-man Battlesuits while the Imperium as a whole use Dreadnoughts ( for the Space Marines ) and Sentinels ( for the Imperial Guard ) as walkers, as well as huge Titans.

* Sigma Tau Delta, an English honor society ( acronym for " Sincerity, Truth, and Design ")

The rotation period for Tau Ceti was measured by periodic variations in the classic H and K absorption lines of singly ionized calcium, or Ca II.

The projected rotation velocity for Tau Ceti is:

However, computed age estimates for Tau Ceti can range from 4. 4 –, depending on the model adopted.

Principal factors driving research interest in Tau Ceti are its Sun-like characteristics and their implications for possible planets and life.

In addition, a survey of nearby stars by the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field and Planetary Camera was completed in 1999, including a search for faint companions to Tau Ceti ; none were discovered to limits of the telescope's resolving power.

Tau Ceti may be a search target for the Terrestrial Planet Finder

This lack of results has not dampened interest in observing the Tau Ceti system for biosignatures.

She also chose Tau Ceti for a final shortlist of just five stars suitable for searches by the ( indefinitely postponed ) Terrestrial Planet Finder telescope system, commenting that " these are places I'd want to live if God were to put our planet around another star.

Both stories take place aboard colony ships orbiting Tau Ceti, where sentient computers have engaged crew and colonists in a fight for survival.

It was also an influence for Poul Anderson's hard science fiction novel " Tau Zero "

They are also the flower of Sigma Lambda Beta, Phi Iota Alpha, Phi Kappa Tau, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Theta Chi fraternities, the national professional chemistry fraternity Alpha Chi Sigma, the national honorary fraternity for college bandmembers Kappa Kappa Psi, and of the Eta Phi Beta, Lambda Phi Chi and Alpha Chi Omega sororities.

The relatively low rotational velocity measurements may indicate that Tau Ceti is being viewed from nearly the direction of its pole.

In 2010 National MP Tau Henare called for restricting premises from being opened near schools.

Llenroc was maintained by Cornell's heirs for several decades until being sold to the local chapter of the Delta Phi fraternity, which occupies it to this day ; Forest Home was sold to the Delta Tau Delta chapter and later demolished.

He had served for 27 years as Grand Treasurer and was honored by being the first for whom a Theta Tau Convention was named ( 1935 ).

Sha Tau Kok is one of the four official border crossings between Hong Kong and mainland China, the other three being Man Kam To, Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau.

Over time, some of the other Tok ' ra become concerned that Selmak is being unduly influenced by Jacob into compromising Tok ' ra operations to the Tau ' ri, and begin to exclude him from high-level decisions.

The first ascended being ever encountered by the Tau ' ri was Oma Desala, when SG-1 arrived on the planet Kheb in their search for Shifu, the young son of Apophis and Sha're.

Furthermore, Kais is a Tau name meaning ' skillful ' ( The famed Commander Farsight is mentioned in the Tau language section of the tau codex as being named Shas ' O Vior ' la Shovah Kais Mont ' yr, with all parts of his name explained ) so it is unlikely that they are the same Tau.

Three other minibus routes running between Tsuen Wan and Kowloon East – Choi Hung, Tsz Wan Shan and Ngau Tau Kok – are being controlled by another Wo Shing Wo gang.

The Tau chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa has a history of being progressive about its membership.

Along with Kosinski is his assistant, an alien being from Tau Alpha C whose name is unpronounceable by humans, thus called The Traveler ( Eric Menyuk ).

The survivors were then assimilated into the Imperium, however there are rumours that the squats created Tau technology which despite being younger than the Imperium, is more advanced.

A program of rest and recreation began, with many being granted two days leave in Vung Tau, yet this further stretched the limited forces available to 1 ATF.

However, with arrangements for the emergency aerial resupply of Nui Dat by night still being worked out, and due to need to avoid the possibility of an ambush on a road resupply by 1 ALSG, it took several hours for the rounds to be loaded and delivered by US Army CH-47 Chinook from Vung Tau.

Phi Sigma Kappa " and the " Tau " from being the Tau Corporation of Phi Sigma Kappa, becoming the new organization of Phi Tau, in May 1956.

It is generally assumed that he raped her while keeping her in captivity, although the tale is often told differently because the Guaraní did not have a written language, and some accounts tell of Tau and Kerana being married.

Before being a residential area, Ngau Tau Kok was an industrial area.

" To realize that within our grasp, in Zeta Tau Alpha, lies the opportunity to learn those things which will ever enrich and ennoble our lives ; to be true to ourselves, to those within and without our circle ; to think in terms of all mankind and our service in the world ; to be steadfast, strong, and clean of heart and mind, remembering that since the thought is father to the deed, only that which we would have manifested in our experience should be entertained in thought ; to find satisfaction in being, rather than seeming, thus strengthening in us the higher qualities of the spirit ; to prepare for service and learn the nobility of serving, thereby earning the right to be served ; to seek understanding that we might gain true wisdom ; to look for the good in everyone ; to see beauty, with its enriching influence ; to be humble in success, and without bitterness in defeat ; to have the welfare and harmony of the Fraternity at heart, striving ever to make our lives a symphony of high ideals, devotion to the Right, the Good, and the True, without a discordant note ; remembering always that the foundation precept of Zeta Tau Alpha was Love, ' the greatest of all things.
