Sag DEG is a small loop-shaped satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.
It is known by other names, such as the Sagittarius dwarf elliptical galaxy or the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy.
It consists of four globular clusters.
The main cluster having been discovered in 1994.
Sag DEG is about 10,000 light-years in diameter, and is about 70,000 light-years from Earth.
It moves in a polar orbit (i.e. an orbit passing through the galactic plane) at a distance of about 50,000 light-years from the core of the Milky Way (about 1/3 the distance of the Large Magellanic Cloud).
In its looping, spiralling path, it has passed through the plane of the Milky Way several times in the past.
Messier 54 (or M54 or NGC 6715) is a globular cluster in the constellation Sagittarius.
It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1778.
Later, he included it in his catalog of comet-like objects.

M54 is some 87,000 light-years from us, and has a radius of 150 light-years across.
It is one of the most dense globulars.
It shines with the luminosity of roughly 850,000 times that of the Sun and has an absolute magnitude of −10.0.
M54 is easily found in the sky, being close to the star ζ Sagittarii.
Individual stars cannot be seen with amateur telescopes.

The muskellunge (scientific name Esox masquinongy) is a freshwater game fish.
It is the largest member of the Esox (Pike) family.
The muskellunge is also called the muskie or maskinonge (Canada).
It is native to northern and eastern North America.
Muskies have been introduced into other U.S. states.. Muskies are carnivorous and eat other fish.
They are ambush feeders who will attack anything that moves in or on the water.
The Great Lakes Muskellunge (Esox masquinongy masquinongy) native to the Great Lakes Basin.
The Chautauqua (or Ohio) Muskellunge (Esox masquinongy ohioinis) found in Chautauqua Lake and south into Ohio.
The Northern Muskellunge (Esox masquinongy masquinongy) native to Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
There is also a hybrid called the Tiger muskellunge (or Tiger Muskie).
It is a cross between the Muskellunge and the Northern pike (Esox lucius).
They are smaller than true muskies but can grow up to 1.5 times faster in the first year.
They are almost always sterile and cannot reproduce.
Physical descriptions
True muskies have light colored bodies.
They can be silver, light green, or light brown.
They usually have dark bars on their sides.
This is the opposite of the Northern pike which Muskies are sometimes confused with.
Northern pike (northerns) have dark bodies with light colored bars on the sides.
Muskies also have scales only on the upper half of the cheek.
The best way to tell the two apart is the pores under the jaw.
Northerns have five or less; muskies have six or more.
Males are always smaller than females.
Tiger muskies look like both muskies and northerns.
Their "tiger" stripes are more distinctive than the true musky.
Where both species live in the same waters, tiger muskies occur naturally.
But they are never in large numbers.
Once biologists realized that tiger muskies were a hybrid, they began raising them in hatcheries.
There are no size differences between male and female tiger muskies.
Habitat and forage
The muskie is a very efficient predator.
It lays in wait near the shoreline often in shallow water.
It hides in weeds, near or under logs and rocks.
In the summer as the water warms up, Muskies move to the cooler waters at lower depths.
But will remain close to shallow water using drop-offs for cover.
Muskies can stand water up to 90 degrees F.
Muskies forage (feed) mainly on other fish such as suckers and perch.
They are ambush feeders who will nearly anything.
They have been known to eat Loons, ducks and small mammals like Muskrats.
When the water temperature reaches 60 °F, muskies feed heavily.
At 80° the feeding slows down.
They have a preference for larger fish over small fish.
Muskies strike quickly.
They often take their prey to a secluded area before eating it.
They remain in the same area of a lake, sometimes for their entire lifetime.
Muskies are one of the largest freshwater fish in North America.
The largest on record was 69 pounds, 15 ounces.
Average muskies are usually less than 40 inches long and might weigh from 7 to 15 pounds.
Muskies can live up to 30 years.
Just after the ice melts on northern lakes (called ice-out) and the water temperature is between 49° and 59°F, muskies begin to spawn.
In lakes where both northern pike and muskies live, muskies spawn after the northerns.
A female lays between 60,000 and 100,000 eggs.
In lakes with northern pike and muskies, the muskie seems to have fewer numbers of surviving fry.
Two reasons are suggested.
Since northerns hatch about two weeks earlier than muskies, the young northerns feed on the smaller muskie fry.
Another reason is that the young muskie fry swim just below the surface of the water.
They are easily seen by fish below or birds flying over the water.
Muskies are an elusive fish but highly prized by anglers.
Many fishermen specialize in muskie fishing and will fish for no other species.
They are called "the fish of 10,000 casts".
This gives some idea of how difficult they are to catch.
According to many guides, muskies do not fear anything, including fisherman.
They routinely follow lures back to the boat without striking.
Sometimes they will flick a lure or fly back at the fisherman.
Hooking a muskie is hard.
Landing one is even harder.
They will fight hard for short periods and should be landed quickly to avoid stressing them.
Prolonged fighting of muskie on insufficient tackle could kill them even after they swim away.
Skill and luck are needed to land one.
Muskies require very careful handling by anglers.
A trophy size musky is an old fish.
A 30-pound female may be 17 years old.
If taken as a trophy they are not easily replaced.
For that reason catch and release is strongly recommended.
A musky may still fight being handled.
They are large powerful fish with very sharp teeth.
The mortality rate can be very high for fish that are handled carelessly.

A galaxy group is a group of galaxies made up of less than 50 or so members and bound by gravity.
Collections of galaxies larger than groups are called galaxy clusters or superclusters.
Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is in the Local Group of more than 40 galaxies.
Galaxy groups are the smallest groups of galaxies.
They usually have no more than 50 galaxies.
The group in a diameter of 1 to 2 megaparsecs (about 4 to 8 million light-years).
Their mass is about 1013 solar masses.
This is just a guide, because larger and more massive galaxy systems are sometimes called galaxy groups.
Superclusters are large collections of smaller galaxy groups and galaxy clusters.
They are one of the largest known structures in the cosmos.
Superclusters show that the galaxies in the universe are not evenly distributed.
Most, perhaps all, are in groups and clusters.
Groups have  some dozens of galaxies, and clusters up to several thousand galaxies.
Those groups and clusters plus more isolated galaxies form even larger collections called superclusters.
Superclusters themselves form even larger structures, called "filaments", "complexes", "walls" or "sheets", like the Great Wall.
These may span between several hundred million light-years to 10 billion light-years, and cover more than 5% of the observable universe.
Superclusters suggest something about the initial condition of the universe when these superclusters were formed.
The directions of the rotational axes of galaxies within superclusters may also tell us about the formation of galaxies early in the history of the Universe.
Inside superclusters are large voids of space in which few galaxies exist.
Superclusters are often subdivided into groups of clusters called "galaxy clouds".

The Constitution of the United States provides for a separation of powers among three branches.
The executive branch is mostly about the President and is independent of the legislature.
Legislative power is in the two chambers of Congress, the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The judicial branch (or judiciary), made of the Supreme Court and lower federal courts, focuses on the judicial power (or judiciary).
The judiciary's main focus is to interpret the meaning of the United States Constitution and federal laws and rules.
This includes solving problems between the executive and legislative branches.
Two political parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have been the main participants in American politics since the American Civil War.
There are also smaller parties like the Libertarian Party, the Green Party, and the Constitution Party.
The Whig Party, the Federalist Party, and the Democratic-Republican Party were important many years ago.
Political differences
There are major differences between the political system of the United States and that of most other developed democracies.
These include greater power in the upper house of the legislature, a wider scope of power held by the Supreme Court, the separation of powers between the legislature and the executive, and the dominance of only two main parties.
Third parties have less political influence in the United States than in other developed country democracies.
The federal object created by the U.S. Constitution is the main feature of the American governmental system.
However, most people are also subject to a state government, and all are subject to various units of local government.
The latter include counties, municipalities, and special districts.
The federal government was created by the states, which as colonies were established separately and governed themselves independently of the others.
Units of local government were created by the colonies to carry out various state functions.
As the country expanded, it admitted new states modeled on the existing ones.
State leaders
The USA is a federal union of fifty states.
They have governors and legislatures to govern and make their laws.
Each state also has two senators who represent their state in the United States Senate.
There are also representatives who represent their local district in the United States House of Representatives.
The President of the United States is the head of state of the United States.
They are elected by the American citizens every four years in democratic elections.
They also appoint people who will work in different departments that focuses on special areas for the country.

Foxborough is a town in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, United States.
The population was 16,865 at the 2010 census.
The least common multiple of two integers is the smallest positive integer between all the multiples of both.
It is usually written as LCM(a, b).
Likewise, the LCM of more than two integers is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by each of them.
For example, 10 is a multiple of 5 because 5 × 2 = 10, so 10 is divisible by 5 and 2.
Because 10 is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both 5 and 2, it is the least common multiple of 5 and 2.
By the same principle, 10 is the least common multiple of 5 and 2 as well.
Relation with the greatest common divisor
where  is the greatest common divisor of a and b, This formula is often used to compute the LCD, by first finding the GCD of a and b.

The first electric railway in Brazil was built in the late 1800s.
At that time people would go to the top of the Corcovado Mountain to enjoy the panoramic view of the city below.
Construction started in 1926 and took five years.
During that time workers balanced themselves on scaffolds with no safety equipment.
It was risky work but during the entire construction period, no workers were killed.
Many regarded that as a miracle.
The statue was finished in 1931.
It was built to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of Brazil's independence from Portugal.
The statue was built in France by the sculptor Paul Landowski.

Esox is a genus of fresh water fish.
It is the only living genus in the family Esocidae.
The oldest known example of Esox is the fossil Esox tiemani.
It dates to about 62 million years ago and was found in Alberta, Canada.
Esox are commonly called pike and pickerel.
They are found in the northern parts of North America, Europe and Asia.
One species, Esox lucius, the Northern pike, is found in both Europe and North America.
Esox are large predatory fish with a long cylindrical body.
They have a green color (various shades) with yellow eyes.
Pike and pickerel share a forked tail fin and a large pointed head.
Their dorsal and anal fins are located far back on their bodies.
All species have very sharp teeth.
Currently there are five species in the Esox family.
The study of this family is not complete.
There are several known hybrids between species which occur naturally.
The five species are:
Esox lucius - The Northern Pike; found in both Eurasia and North America.
Esox reichertii - The Amur pike; found in the Amur river in Asia.
Esox masquinongy - The Muskellunge; found in  northern and eastern North America.
Esox niger - The Chain pickerel; native to the U.S. states of Georgia and North Carolina.
Esox americanus - The redfin pickerel; also found in Georgia and North Carolina.
All species of Esox are predatory feeders.
They eat other fish, small mammals and birds.
Pike will eat almost anything that doesn't eat them first.

Planetary system is the general term for a star with planets and other objects in orbit around it.
The Solar System is one of these.
It is now clear that many other stars have planetary systems.
The 21st century has become a golden era of planetary system discovery.
4,801 such exoplanets in 3552  planetary systems have been discovered, including 789 multiplanet systems.
Hundreds more systems are unconfirmed.
The closest confirmed system is Gliese 832 at 14.8 light years (ly) with one confirmed planet.
The closest unconfirmed system is Alpha Centauri at 4.37 ly with a planet of Earth mass.
The closest multi-planet system is Gliese 876 at 15.3 ly with four confirmed planets.
Of particular interest to astrobiology is the habitable zone of planetary systems.
This is thought to be the region with the most potential to develop extraterrestrial life.
Multiplanetary systems
From the total of 1116 stars known to have exoplanets (as of June 2014, there are a total of 461 known multiplanetary systems.
About 280 of these have only two confirmed exoplanets, but some have more.
The star with the most confirmed planets is our Sun with 8 confirmed planets, while the stars with the most confirmed exoplanets are Kepler-90 and HD 10180 with 7 confirmed planets each; in 2012, two more exoplanet candidates have been suggested for HD 10180, which would bring the total to 9 exoplanets in that system.
Gliese 876, with 4 confirmed exoplanets, is the closest multiplanetary system at 15 light years from our Solar System.
A total of 12 systems are known that are closer than 50 light years away, but most are much farther away.
The farthest confirmed multiplanetary system is OGLE-2012-BLG-0026L, at 13300 ly away.
The two most important stellar properties are mass and metallicity because it determines how these planetary systems form.
The higher mass and metallicity tend to have more planets and more massive planets.

A rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhyme between lines of a poem or song.
People usually use letters to show which lines rhyme with which other lines.
For example, in a poem that is ABAB, the first and third lines rhyme with each other and the second and fourth lines rhyme with each other.
The most basic rhyme schemes are AA, AAA, AABB, ABAB and ABBA.
There are also more complicated schemes, such as ABABBCC (rhyme royal), ABABABCC (ottava rima) or ABABBBCBCC (Spenserian stanza).
Sonnets may have very different rhyme schemes, Italian (ABBA ABBA CDC DCD, ABBA ABBA CDE CDE, ABBA ABBA CDE EDC), French (ABBA ABBA CDCD EE), Spenserian (ABAB BCBC CDCD EE) or Shakesperian (ABAB CDCD EFEF GG).
Bid me to weep, and I will weep
While I have eyes to see;
And having none, yet I will keep
A heart to weep for thee.
(Robert Herrick, To Anthea, who may Command him Anything), an ABAB rhyme scheme
Sometimes there are also internal rhymes.
In the following strophe from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner there are rhymes and alliteration:
Some schemes are common, the other are used very rarely.
The scheme AABBCC is simple and can be found everywhere, but the scheme ABCCBA, used by Robert Browning in the Meeting at Night, was never popular:
The grey sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low;
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.
There are many possibilities for rhyme scheme.
Five-line stanzas can have any of ten schemes with two different rhymes: AAABB, AABAB, AABBA, ABBAA, ABABA, ABAAB, AABBB, ABABB, ABBAB, ABBBA.
Another possibility is of course AAAAA.
Notice that two or three rhymes can be linked to each other by repeating the same vowel.
The rhyme scheme of Giambattista Marino's poem Adone is ABABABCC (ottava rima), but in this strophe all rhymes are based on the vowel [i].
This feature shows up in Italian text but not in other languages:
Giunto a quel passo il giovinetto Alcide,
che fa capo al camin di nostra vita,
trovò dubbio e sospeso infra due guide
una via, che’ due strade era partita.
Facile e piana la sinistra ei vide,
di delizie e piacer tutta fiorita;
l’altra vestìa l’ispide balze alpine
di duri sassi e di pungenti spine.
A a poet, period of time, or type of poetry can have a preferred rhyme scheme.
For example, the Scottish poet Robert Burns preferred the scheme AAABAB.
Rhyme royal, ABABBCC, was common in medieval English poetry.
Ottava rima was typical of epic poems.
Many great epic poems were written in Italian, Spanish or Portuguese with ABABABCC scheme.
