@antiquidons Hipparchos concluded that the star Spica, part of the constellation #Virgo, had moved 2° relative to the #AutumnalEquinox.
When he compared the time it took the Sun to return to an #equinox with the time it took the Sun to return to a fixed star, he found a slight discrepancy. The equinoxes were moving ("precessing") through the zodiac, and that the rate of precession was at least 1° in a century. In other words: a full cycle through the zodiac is completed every 36,000 years.
@antiquidons#Astronomy and calendars are the domain of #Hermes. His grandfather Atlas turns the heavenly constellations and his mother Maia is one of the starry Pleiades.
Atlas instructed him in astronomy and the Greek mythographer Euhemeros says that #Aphrodite first established the constellations and taught Hermes. The planet #Mercury is attributed to Hermes because he first established the months and perceived the courses of the constellations.
@neilhimself Honestly, this is how I expected it to go. The worst thing that could happen to 90% of the actors is that they can just temporary find another job for the same amount of money. Or they could just work with studios who give them a better contract. The business executives don't have any other option.
@neilhimself Once again …… I am sooooo tired of TRYING to read articles that either want you to sign up for membership or ask 20 questions before you can read. ggggrrrrrrrrr
#introductions Hi! 👋 I'm John and I'm an academic #librarian in #LosAngeles where I head up my library's outreach and engagement team. I've been working in libraries for about 15 years.
I love spending time #gardening, listening to podcasts, wine tasting (read: drinking), reading, and being with my family.
We might buy a piano soon.
I was an avid user of the bird site since 2007 but stopped posting over a year ago. I miss the community of library folk I found there. 😢
Which reminds me, I must post today’s podcast. My guest is a legally blind author who writes blind characters with agency. I am in awe! (I am vision impaired, that’s not ableist inspo pron, it’s “omg one of my tribe beat bigotry to do this awesome thing”.)
