Mary Cassatt

Mary Stevenson Cassatt (May 22, 1844 - June 14, 1926) was an American artist. She lived in France for many years. She often painted mothers and children.
Cassatt was born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, which is now part of Pittsburgh, to rich parents. She was one out of seven kids. As a child, she traveled a lot in Europe, including visits to London, Paris, and Berlin. Back in the United States, she studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
She moved to Paris, France in 1866, returning to the US in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War.
Degas influenced Cassatt. She used pastels, making many important works with them. He also taught her etching.
She had less time in the 1890's. She became less blunt in her opinions. Other American artists sought her advice. Among them was Lucy A. Bacon.,
From 1891 to 1893, she painted a large mural for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair (Columbian Exposition). The mural had three parts - the central theme was Young Women Plucking the Fruits of Knowledge or Science. The left panel was Young Girls Pursuing Fame and the right panel Arts, Music, Dancing. The mural was lost after the fair was over.
She died on June 14, 1926 at Chateau de Beaufresne, near Paris, and was buried in the family vault at Le Mesnil-Theribus, France.

Palace of Versailles

The Palace of Versailles, or simply Versailles, is a royal castle in Versailles, France.
In French, it is often called the Chateau de Versailles. When the castle was built, Versailles was a country village, but it is now a suburb of Paris.
From 1682, when King Louis XIV moved from Paris and lived in this palace, until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in 1789, the Court of Versailles was the centre of power in the Ancien Regime. Versailles is therefore famous not only as a building, but as a symbol of absolute monarchy.

They are towards the top of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, a graph showing star development. Some are only 50 million kilometers across, small enough to fit inside the orbit of Mercury. Some are 2,200 million km across, as between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn.

Aquanaut

An aquanaut is a person who stays at the bottom of the ocean for 24 hours or longer while exposed to the pressure of the water at that depth in the ocean. This usually happens in a special building, called an underwater habitat, on the ocean bottom.
The first person to stay at the bottom of the ocean for 24 hours was a man from France. His name was Robert Stenuit. This happened in September 1962. The United States Navy had a program in the 1960s called SEALAB in which military aquanauts and scientists spent time on the ocean bottom. This program ended in February 1969 after aquanaut Berry L. Cannon died from breathing too much carbon dioxide.
NASA carries out programs in the Aquarius underwater habitat off Key Largo in Florida. These programs are called "NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations" (NEEMO). The NEEMO programs help teach astronauts how to live and work in outer space.
