417 Suevia is a typical Main belt asteroid. It is classified as a K-type/S-type asteroid. Maximilian Franz Joseph Cornelius Wolf (June 21, 1863 – October 3, 1932) was a German astronomer. ...

The provisional designation of comets and asteroids are similar to each other: they both follow a pattern set in 1925 by the Minor Planet Center of the IAU. Historical designations At first, astronomers strove to assign symbols to the minor planets: 1 Ceres a stylized sickle 2 Pallas a lozenge... Minor planet is the official term for asteroids and trans-Neptunian objects. ... The asteroid belt is a region of the solar system falling roughly between the planets Mars and Jupiter where the greatest concentration of asteroid orbits can be found. ... In astronomy, an epoch is a moment in time for which celestial coordinates or orbital elements are specified. ... January 30 is the 30th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ... 2005 is a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar and is the current year. ... The Julian day or Julian day number (JDN) is the number of days that have elapsed since 12 noon Greenwich Mean Time (UT or TT) on Monday, January 1, 4713 BC (in the proleptic Julian calendar; or November 24, 4714 BC in the proleptic Gregorian calendar). ... (This page refers to eccitricity in astrodynamics. ... In geometry, the semi-major axis (also semimajor axis) a applies to ellipses and hyperbolas. ... Giga (symbol: G) is a prefix in the SI system of units denoting 109, or 1 000 000 000. ... The metre (American spelling: meter), symbol: m, is the basic unit of distance (or of length, in the parlance of the physical sciences) in the International System of Units. ... The astronomical unit (AU or au or a. ... This article is about several astronomical terms (apogee & perigee, aphelion & perihelion, generic equivalents based on apsis, and related but rarer terms. ... This article is about several astronomical terms (apogee & perigee, aphelion & perihelion, generic equivalents based on apsis, and related but rarer terms. ... The orbital period is the time it takes a planet (or another object) to make one full orbit. ... James M. Cox Dayton International Airport is an airport located near Dayton, Ohio. ... A Julian year is the length of an average year in the Julian calendar, 365. ... The orbital speed of a body, generally a planet, a natural satellite, an artificial satellite, or a multiple star, is the speed at which it orbits around the barycenter of a system, usually around a more massive body. ... This article is about the unit of time. ... Inclination is one of the six orbital parameters describing the shape and orientation of a celestial orbit and is the angular distance of the orbital plane from the plane of the reference (usually planets equator or the ecliptic), stated in degrees. ... A degree (or in full degree of arc), usually symbolized by the symbol °, is a measurement of plane angles, or of a location along a great circle of a sphere (such as the Earth or the celestial sphere), representing 1/360 of a full rotation. ... The Longitude of the ascending node () is one of the orbital elements used to specify the orbit of an object in space. ... The argument of the perihelion is one of the orbital elements describing the orbit of a planet. ... In the study of orbital dynamics the mean anomaly is a measure of time, specific to the orbiting body p, which is a multiple of 2π radians at and only at periapsis. ... Mass is a property of physical objects that, roughly speaking, measures the amount of matter they contain. ... Density (symbol: ρ - Greek: rho) is a measure of mass per unit of volume. ... Gravitation is the tendency of masses to move toward each other. ... In physics, for a given gravitational field and a given position, the escape velocity is the minimum speed an object without propulsion, at that position, needs to have to move away indefinitely from the source of the field, as opposed to falling back or staying in an orbit within a... In astronomy, a rotation period is the time an astronomical object takes to complete one revolution around its rotation axis. ... An asteroid is a small, solid object in our Solar System, orbiting the Sun. ... The spectrum of K-type asteroids resembles CV and CO meteorites. ... Approximately 17% of all known asteroids are of an S-type (for stony) composition. ... In astronomy, absolute magnitude is the apparent magnitude, m, an object would have if it were at a standardized distance away. ... The albedo is a measure of reflectivity of a surface or body. ... Temperature is the physical property of a system which underlies the common notions of hot and cold; the material with the higher temperature is said to be hotter. ... The asteroid belt is a region of the solar system falling roughly between the planets Mars and Jupiter where the greatest concentration of asteroid orbits can be found. ...

Update for (417) Suevia - March 19/20, 2003 (382 words)
IOTA/IOTA-ES occultation update for (417) Suevia / TYC 0790-00973-1 = PPM 124368 on March 19/20, 2003 visible from Ireland, U.K., Denmark, Latvia, Belarus and Russia Summary
In the night of March 19/20, 2003 a faint 10.1 mag star TYC 0790-00973-1 = PPM 124368 will be occulted by a 43 km asteroid (417) Suevia.
Close finding chart (prepared in GUIDE8): * occulted star is in center - labeled with cross * field is 3.0x3.0 degrees * limiting magnitude is 12.5 * labeled stars have indicated SAO numbers * remarks: Second chart is 30' blowup to show correctly the target star in the field.
Newman Reader - Mission of St. Benedict (12380 words)
Systematic theology had but a limited place in ecclesiastical study prior to the eleventh and twelfth centuries; Scripture and the Fathers were the received means of education, and these constituted the very text on which the pens of the monks were employed.
And thus they would be becoming familiar with that kind of knowledge which was proper to their vocation, at the same time {417} that they were engaged in what was unequivocally a manual labour; and, in providing for the religious necessities of posterity, they were directly serving their own edification.
And this again had been the practice of the monks from the first, and is included in the unity of their profession.
