The full set of rings, imaged on 19 July 2013 as Saturn eclipses the Sun from the vantage of the Cassini orbiter, 1.2 million kilometres (3 ⁄ 4 million miles) distant. . Earth appears as a dot at 4 o'clock, between the G and E rings – with its brightness artificially exaggerated in this photog
The prediction of this solar eclipse helped to inspire Tycho Brahe's (1546–1601) interest in astronomy at the age of 13. [3] Tycho was born on December 14, 1546, in Knudstrup, in what is now South Sweden, which then was part of Denmark.
Paleogeography of the Middle Ordovician (~470 Ma) [citation needed] The Ordovician meteor event was a dramatic increase in the rate at which L chondrite meteorites fell to Earth during the Middle Ordovician period, about 467.5±0.28 million years ago.
