Julius Caesar

????? Julius Caesar

In honor of Roman dictator Julius Caesar, the month of July was named after him. He helped develop the Julian calendar, which is the precursor to the Gregorian calendar that we use today. Before and during Julius Caesar’s lifetime, July was known as “Quintilis,” which means “the fifth month” because the year used to start in March, and January and February were not yet part of the calendar.

After he was assassinated in 44 BC, the Romans renamed July, his birth month, in his honor.

Not requiring a valid ID is inviting fraud. The only reason in America is for illegal immigrants to vote.

Pleiades: The Seven Sisters Star Cluster
Image Credit & Copyright: Kamil Fiedosiuk

Explanation: Have you ever seen the Pleiades star cluster? Even if you have, you probably have never seen it as large and clear as this. Perhaps the most famous star cluster on the sky, the bright stars of the Pleiades can be seen with the unaided eye even from the depths of a light-polluted city. With a long exposure from a dark location, though, the dust cloud surrounding the Pleiades star cluster becomes very evident. The featured 18-hour exposure, taken from Bory Tucholskie, Poland covers a sky area several times the size of the full moon. Also known as the Seven Sisters and M45, the Pleiades lies about 400 light years away toward the constellation of the Bull (Taurus). A common legend with a modern twist is that one of the brighter stars faded since the cluster was named, leaving only six of the sister stars visible to the unaided eye. The actual number of Pleiades stars visible, however, may be more or less than seven, depending on the darkness of the surrounding sky and the clarity of the observer’s eyesight.
