Thus, the writer arranged the planet so its northern hemisphere's midsummer occurs when it is nearest its sun.

The term “ Isneg ” derives from a combination of “ is ” meaning “ recede ” and “ uneg ” meaning “ interior .” Thus, it means “ people who have gone into the interior .” In Spanish missionary accounts, they, together with the Kalinga and other ethnic groups between the northern end of the Cagayan Valley and the northeastern part of the Ilocos, were referred to as “ los Apayaos ,” an allusion to the river whose banks and nearby rugged terrain were inhabited by the people.

Thus the often-used term body needs to stand for a wide assortment of objects, including particles, projectiles, spacecraft, stars, parts of machinery, parts of solids, parts of fluids ( gases and liquids ), etc.

Thus, a certain number of stars will be in the shell 1, 000, 000, 000 to 1, 000, 000, 001 light years away, say.

Thus, when these stars expand and cool, they do not brighten as much as lower mass stars ; however, they were much brighter than lower mass stars to begin with, and are thus still brighter than the red giants formed from less massive stars.

Thus younger stars will tend to have a higher portion of heavy elements in their atmospheres than do the older stars.

Thus, the need to use stars close to the ecliptic (± 9º of latitude ) as a set of observational reference points to help positioning a planet within this ecliptic coordinate system.

Thus, while today the star Polaris lies approximately at the north celestial pole, this will change over time, and other stars will become the " north star ".

Thus, the tropical year, measuring the cycle of seasons ( for example, the time from solstice to solstice, or equinox to equinox ), is about 20 minutes shorter than the sidereal year, which is measured by the Sun's apparent position relative to the stars.

Thus, the frequency spectrum shown by reflection nebulae is similar to that of the illuminating stars.

Thus Struve made micrometric measurements of 2714 double stars from 1824 to 1837 and published these in his work Stellarum duplicium et multiplicium mensurae micrometricae.

Thus while Tycho acknowledged that the daily rising and setting of the sun and stars could be explained by the Earth's rotation, as Copernicus had said, still such a fast motion could not belong to the earth, a body very heavy and dense and opaque, but rather belongs to the sky itself whose form and subtle and constant matter are better suited to a perpetual motion, however fast.

Earth's rotation period relative to the fixed stars, called its stellar day by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service ( IERS ), is seconds of mean solar time ( UT1 ) Earth's rotation period relative to the precessing or moving mean vernal equinox, misnamed its sidereal day, is seconds of mean solar time ( UT1 ) Thus the sidereal day is shorter than the stellar day by about 8. 4 ms.

Dickens also attacks the institution of slavery in the United States in the following words: :" Thus the stars wink upon the bloody stripes ; and Liberty pulls down her cap upon her eyes, and owns oppression in its vilest aspect for her sister.

Thus metal-rich central stars capable of supporting complex life are believed most common in the quiet suburbs of the larger spiral galaxies, regions hospitable to complex life for another reason, namely the absence of high radiation.

Thus, the stars which are observed by Kepler are roughly the same distance from the galactic center as the Solar System, and also close to the galactic plane.
