Willkommen bei DEMEL - K.u.K. Hofzuckerbäcker Wien Welcome to Demel - home of the finest cakes, chocolates and sweets in the heart of Vienna. Both a cultural and culinary institution, our traditional coffee house has been tempting locals and traveller...

The IAU named θ Aquilae (HIP 99473) 'Antinous', preserving Ptolemy's 137 CE designation honoring Emperor Hadrian's deified favorite in the region of the extinct Babylonian constellation The Corpse. This star in Aquila continues a 2000-year tradition. #Astronomy #IAU #starnames #WGSN

The IAU's star naming announcement highlights global astronomical heritage. From ancient Sumerian to South African languages, these names show humanity's diverse views of the night sky. Each name tells a story of culture and celestial observation. #Astronomy #IAU #starnames #WGSN
