Apparent magnitude

Apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of a star or other astronomical object.

See 8 Flora and Apparent magnitude

Apsis

An apsis is the farthest or nearest point in the orbit of a planetary body about its primary body.

See 8 Flora and Apsis

Asteroid

An asteroid is a minor planet—an object that is neither a true planet nor an identified comet— that orbits within the inner Solar System.

See 8 Flora and Asteroid

Asteroid belt

The asteroid belt is a torus-shaped region in the Solar System, centered on the Sun and roughly spanning the space between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars.

See 8 Flora and Asteroid belt

Axial tilt

In astronomy, axial tilt, also known as obliquity, is the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis, which is the line perpendicular to its orbital plane; equivalently, it is the angle between its equatorial plane and orbital plane.

See 8 Flora and Axial tilt

Cataclysmic variable star

In astronomy, cataclysmic variable stars (CVs) are stars which irregularly increase in brightness by a large factor, then drop back down to a quiescent state.

See 8 Flora and Cataclysmic variable star

Chloris

In Greek mythology, the name Chloris (Greek Χλωρίς Chlōrís, from χλωρός chlōrós, meaning "greenish-yellow", "pale green", "pale", "pallid", or "fresh") appears in a variety of contexts.

See 8 Flora and Chloris

Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.

See 8 Flora and Earth

Ecliptic coordinate system

In astronomy, the ecliptic coordinate system is a celestial coordinate system commonly used for representing the apparent positions, orbits, and pole orientations of Solar System objects.

See 8 Flora and Ecliptic coordinate system

Flora (mythology)

Flora (Flōra) is a Roman goddess of flowers and spring.

See 8 Flora and Flora (mythology)

Flora family

The Flora family (adj. Florian;; also known as the Ariadne family) is a prominent family of stony asteroids located in the inner region of the asteroid belt. 8 Flora and Flora family are Flora asteroids.

See 8 Flora and Flora family

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) is an American publisher of textbooks, instructional technology materials, assessments, and reference works.

Iron

Iron is a chemical element.

John Herschel

Sir John Frederick William Herschel, 1st Baronet (7 March 1792 – 11 May 1871) was an English polymath active as a mathematician, astronomer, chemist, inventor and experimental photographer who invented the blueprint and did botanical work.

See 8 Flora and John Herschel

John Russell Hind

John Russell Hind FRS FRSE LLD (12 May 1823 – 23 December 1895) was an English astronomer.

JPL Horizons On-Line Ephemeris System

JPL Horizons On-Line Ephemeris System provides access to key Solar System data and flexible production of highly accurate ephemerides for Solar System objects.

See 8 Flora and JPL Horizons On-Line Ephemeris System

Julian day

The Julian day is the continuous count of days since the beginning of the Julian period, and is used primarily by astronomers, and in software for easily calculating elapsed days between two events (e.g. food production date and sell by date).

See 8 Flora and Julian day

Julian year (astronomy)

In astronomy, a Julian year (symbol: a or aj) is a unit of measurement of time defined as exactly 365.25 days of SI seconds each.

See 8 Flora and Julian year (astronomy)

L chondrite

The L type ordinary chondrites are the second most common group of meteorites, accounting for approximately 35% of all those catalogued, and 40% of the ordinary chondrites.

See 8 Flora and L chondrite

Minor-planet designation

A formal minor-planet designation is, in its final form, a number–name combination given to a minor planet (asteroid, centaur, trans-Neptunian object and dwarf planet but not comet).

See 8 Flora and Minor-planet designation

Nickel

Nickel is a chemical element; it has symbol Ni and atomic number 28.

See 8 Flora and Nickel

Olivine

The mineral olivine is a magnesium iron silicate with the chemical formula.

See 8 Flora and Olivine

Opposition (astronomy)

In positional astronomy, two astronomical objects are said to be in opposition when they are on opposite sides of the celestial sphere, as observed from a given body (usually Earth).

See 8 Flora and Opposition (astronomy)

Personification

Personification is the representation of a thing or abstraction as a person.

See 8 Flora and Personification

Pyroxene

The pyroxenes (commonly abbreviated Px) are a group of important rock-forming inosilicate minerals found in many igneous and metamorphic rocks.

See 8 Flora and Pyroxene

Roman mythology

Roman mythology is the body of myths of ancient Rome as represented in the literature and visual arts of the Romans, and is a form of Roman folklore.

See 8 Flora and Roman mythology

S-type asteroid

S-type asteroids are asteroids with a spectral type that is indicative of a siliceous (i.e. stony) mineralogical composition, hence the name.

See 8 Flora and S-type asteroid

Science fiction film

Science fiction (or sci-fi or SF) is a film genre that uses speculative, fictional science-based depictions of phenomena that are not fully accepted by mainstream science, such as extraterrestrial lifeforms, spacecraft, robots, cyborgs, mutants, interstellar travel, time travel, or other technologies.

See 8 Flora and Science fiction film

Silicate

A silicate is any member of a family of polyatomic anions consisting of silicon and oxygen, usually with the general formula, where.

See 8 Flora and Silicate

Spectrum

A spectrum (spectra or spectrums) is a condition that is not limited to a specific set of values but can vary, without gaps, across a continuum.

See 8 Flora and Spectrum

The Green Slime

is a 1968 tokusatsu science fiction film directed by Kinji Fukasaku and produced by Walter Manley and Ivan Reiner.
