Naturalist John Hill Named Patella the Limpet Constellation in 1754


Summary: English Naturalist John Hill named Patella the Limpet constellation in his 1754 astronomical dictionary, Urania, or, A Compleat View of the Heavens.

Eighteenth-century English apothecary, naturalist and writer John Hill introduced Patella the Limpet constellation in his astronomical dictionary, Urania, or, A Compleat View of the Heavens, published in 1754.
"A conſtellation offered to the aſtronomical world," stated Hill (1714-Nov. 21, 1775) at the beginning of his dictionary entry on Patella as a repeat of the standard introductory phrase in his dictionary entries for each of his 14 additional invented constellations. He then finished the sentence with a brief description of the new constellation's celestial location: ". . . and compoſed of a little cluſter of very conſpicuous unformed ſtars, near the right ſhoulder of Ophiucus."
The particular starry cluster appeared to Hill as a depiction of a common limpet, one of the species in the Patella genus of true limpets. "The creature, under the out-lines of whoſe figure theſe are diſpoſed, is the common Limpet, a ſhell-fiſh, frequent about our rocks, and very familiarly known to all who have at all conſidered that part of the animal creation."
Patella the Limpet resides in the neighborhood of Aquila the Eagle, Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer and the Serpens Cauda the Serpent's Tail section of Serpens the Serpent. Yet, the Serpent Bearer qualifies as Patella's only near neighbor, according to Hill's design. "The conſtellations, between which it is ſituated, are Ophiucus, the Serpent, and the Eagle; but it is more diſtant from the two latter, and its ſituation is ſufficiently aſcertained with reſpect to the former only." Patella nears the Serpent Bearer's right shoulder, with "its opening, or broad part, oppoſite to the ſhoulder of Ophiucus."
The Limpet exudes smallness, with its occupancy of small space and with a small number of resident stars. "The Patella is a ſmall conſtellation, and contains only a few ſtars," described Hill.
Hill identified four conspicuous stars in Patella the Limpet constellation. A line of three stars shape the bottom of the celestial Limpet, while one star shines at the top of Patella. "The ſtars of which it is compoſed are eaſily counted, for, they are only four, but they are all large and beautiful ones; three of theſe which are diſpoſed almoſt in a line, mark the bottom of the ſhell, and one which ſtands ſingle over them, the top."
All four of Patella the Limpet's stars are identified by David Harper, once an astronomer specializing in celestial mechanics and positional astronomy but now a genome researcher, and his wife, astronomer L. (Lynne) M. Stockman, in "Patella -- The Limpet," posted on their Obliquity website. The quartet, which shines in Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer, comprises 66 Ophiuchi (abbreviated Oph), 67 Oph and 68 Oph as markers of the figure's bottom and 70 Oph as indicator of the top.
Manis resides in the northern celestial hemisphere's third quadrant (NQ3). The celestial Limpet qualifies as the only one of Hill's six northern hemisphere constellations that inhabits this quadrant.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has not accorded official status to Patella the Limpet. The celestial gastropod mollusc, therefore, is absent from the list of 88 IAU-approved constellations. Thus, the Limpet is relegated to the status of an obsolete constellation that also may be referenced synonymously as defunct, extinct, forgotten or former. Despite its unofficial status, Patella the Limpet still offers visibility to those stargazers who focus on the starry quartet near the right shoulder of Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer.

John Hill equated his Patella the Limpet constellation with Earth's common limpet; depictions (top row) of Striated Limpet, Starry Limpet and Beaked Limpet as examples of three species of limpets in the Patella genus, in John Hill, An History of Animals (1752), Plate 7, opposite page 139: Biodiversity Heritage Library (BioDivLibrary), Public Domain, via Flickr

Eiríkur Hauksson and His Moscow Song Are in Reykjavík: A Crime Story


Summary: Eiríkur Hauksson and his Moscow song are in Reykjavík: A Crime Story anglicized by Victoria Cribb and authored by Ragnar Jónasson and Katrín Jakobsdóttir.

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.


The vocalist achievements and aspirations of heavy metal, pop, rock singer Eiríkur Hauksson (from Old Norse einn ríkr hauk, “alone/one distinguished/empire/kingdom/mighty/rich hawk”) abounded before and after Reykjavík: A Crime Story acclaimed his Moscow song, Ragnhildur Gísladóttir’s, Jakob Frímann Magnússon’s and Valgeir Guðjón’s Mitt á milli Moskvu og Washington (Halfway between Moscow and Washington), for Eurovision Song Contest finals March 15, 1986, and the Reykjavik Summit of Oct. 11-12, 1986, for world peace; image of Start, formed by Eirikur Hauksson with vocalist Pétur Kristjánsson, keyboardists Kristján Edelstein and Davíð Karlsson, guitarist Jón Ólafsson and bass guitarist Nikulás Róbertsson, known for Eirikur Hauksson's song, "Setur," voted as Iceland's song of the year in 1981 and photographed at Strákagöng tunnel, western Iceland, after "gott gigg" ("good gig") in Siglufjörður, northern coastal Iceland): Eirikur Hauksson, via Facebook Feb. 14, 2013

Eiríkur Hauksson and his Moscow song are in Reykjavík: A Crime Story anglicized in 2023 by Victoria Cribb from the Icelandic standalone novel authored in 2022 by Ragnar Jónasson and Katrín Jakobsdóttir.
Copyright-law Professor Ragnar Jónasson and Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir build their book upon the historic, 20th-century bases that broach Aug. 6, 1956, through Nov. 1, 1986. Eiríkur Hauksson (from Old Norse einn ríkr hauk, “alone/one distinguished/empire/kingdom/mighty/rich hawk”) configures among characters contemporary with the Reykjavik Summit of Oct. 11-12, 1986, for world peace. He domiciled in Reykjavik (from Old Norse reykr vík, “smoke bay”) his first 29 years, 1959-1988, during which his birthday July 4 perhaps delighted Iceland-invading Unitedstatesians.
Eirikur established himself early on as an Icelandic vocalist, for example, with his own song Sekur (from Old Norse sekr, “condemned[-to-outlawry]/convicted/forfeited/guilty/outlawed/sentenced[-to-pay]”) with Icelandic rock group Start.

Gunnar Thordarson (from Old Norse guðr/gunnr -arr/herr, "battle/fight army" via Icelandic Gunnar Þórðarson) accommodated Eirikur's heavy metal, pop, rock vocal range with compositions such as Gaggó Vest and Gull in 1985; June 6, 1985, article about Icelandic heavy metal rock band Drýsill, formed from 1984 to 1986 by Eiríkur Hauksson with Sigurgeir Sigmundsson, Sigurður Reynisson, Jón Ólafsson and Einar Jónsson and known for "Welcome to the show," self-released ca. (New Year's Eve) 1984/1985: Eirikur Hauksson, via Facebook May 2, 2013

The aforementioned, new wave of British heavy metal-fashioned song figured as Icelandic song of year 1981 even as 3 years later his metal group Drýsill flourished.
His group generated the album Welcome to the show in 1984, the year (1985) before Eirikur got Gaggó Vest and Gull by songwriter Gunnar Thordarson recorded. The year 1986 heralded the first Icelandic participation in the then 30-year-old Eurovision Song Contest (May 24, 1956-) such that ESC finals had three Icelandic songs. Eirikur included Ómar Halldórsson’s Þetta gengur ekki lengur (This doesn’t work anymore) and Gunnar Thordarson’s and Ólafur Haukur Símonarson’s Gefðu mér gaum (Pay attention to me).
Reykjavík: A Crime Story jubilates that March 15, 1986’s third Eirikur juxtaposition, Ragnhildur Gísladóttir’s, Jakob Frímann Magnússon’s and Valgeir Guðjón’s Mitt á milli Moskvu og Washington.

Not one of Eirikur's three songs for the March 15, 1986, finals accompanied Icelander accomplishments to the Eurovision Song Contest in Bergen (from Old Norse Bjǫrgvin, “meadow between the mountains”), west Norway, that year. Eirikur accompanied Pálmi Gunnarsson (from Latin palma,"palm-branch/palm-tree/palm-of-hand"; Old Norse guðr/gunnr -arr/herr, "battle/fight army"), Icelandic-winning songster with Magnús Eiríksson’s (from Old Norse magn/megin einn ríkr, "might/strength alone/one distinguished/empire/kingdom/mighty/rich") Gleðibankinn (Bank of fun), and Helga Möller (from Old Norse hailaga, “holy”; and German möller, “miller”) there as ICY pop-music trio. Bergen judges accounted them as number 16; image of Eiríkur Hauksson with Helga Möller and Pálmi Gunnarsson, who, forming vocal trio ICY for participation in the 1986 Eurovision Song Contest (ESC), placed 16th with "Gleðibankinn" ("Bank of Fun"), composed by Magnús Eiríksson (born Aug. 25, 1945), at the finale in Bergen, Norway: Eirikur Hauksson, via Facebook March 6, 2013

Fictitious heroine Sunna Róbertsdóttir (from Old Norse sunna hróðr bjartr dóttir, “fame/glory/honor/praise bright/light/shining sun daughter") knows Halfway between Moscow and Washington as Radio 2-kindled car music.
March 15, 1986, Pálmi Gunnarsson logged Icelandic-winning song with Magnús Eiríksson’s Gleðibankinn (Bank of fun), not Thórir Baldursson’s and Rúnar Júlíusson’s Syngdu lag (Sing a song). Pálmi Gunnarsson, Eirikur and Helga Möller (from Latin palma,"palm-branch/palm-tree/palm-of-hand"; Old Norse guðr/gunnr -arr/herr, "battle/fight army"); Old Norse hailaga, “holy”; German möller, “miller”) mounted ICY pop-music trio. Bergen judges numbered them 16 even as Eirikur netted second-place in 1987 finals with Gunnlaugur Briem’s and Friðrik Karlsson’s Lífið er lag (Life is a song).
One year after Reykjavík: A Crime Story, Eirikur offered that song for the Model-titled album of the composite Icelandic group Model where he operated as vocalist.

Eirikur accounted for second-place in 1987 finals with Gunnlaugur Briem’s (from Old Norse guðr/gunnr laug, "battle/fight bath/hot-spring"; brandr, "fire/swordblade") and Friðrik Karlsson’s (from Old Norse friðr -arr/herr, "love/peace/protection army") Lífið er lag (Life is a song); image of Eirikur Hauksson in 1987 in his first appearance as vocalist for Artch, a heavy metal band formed by Norwegian guitarist Cato André Olsen and bass player Bernt Jansen in 1983: Gleng, via Facebook Feb. 11, 2022

The year 1986 presented Eirikur and his Moscow song for Eurovision Song Contest finals March 15, 1986, and for the Reykjavik Summit Saturday-Sunday, Oct. 11-12, 1986.
Perhaps the Reykjavik Summit questing his Moscow song and then quelling it qualified as questioning where to quarter himself and his musical quintessence without quarrelsome quibbling. Eirikur youthfully realized that pedagogical training never reached what he required personally and professionally even as in 1988 he perhaps realized likewise about his home residence. Two years after 30th missing-person and 200th Reykjavik anniversaries in Reykjavík: A Crime Story Eirikur settled as power metal group Artch vocalist in Østfold, southeast Norway.
Reykjavík: A Crime Story tells about Eirikur Hauksson as Icelandic heavy metal, pop and rock music vocalist whose Moscow song told of the Reykjavik Summit travails.

Two years after 30th missing-person and 200th Reykjavik anniversaries in Reykjavík: A Crime Story Eirikur accounted, from 1988 onward, as power metal group Artch vocalist Eric Hawk, among addressees accumulating in Østfold (from Old Norse austr- falda, "east to fold/hood"), southeast Norway. He accustoms Nordic music lovers to such achievements as Artch vocalist on the 1988 album Another return (to Church Hill), the 1991 album For the sake of Mankind and the 1999 DVD Another Return: Live... and Beyond. British and Nordic heavy metal-, pop- and rock-music lovers acknowledge Eirikur as Just 4 Fun vocalist of the song Mrs. Thompson at the Eurovision Song Contest in Rome, Italy, in 1991; Soulburner album vocalist with Swedish melodic death metal band Gardenian in 1999; as vocalist with the Ken Hensley live band Live Fire in 2005; Icelandic-nationals finals song winner with Sveinn Runar Sigurdsson's (from Old Norse sveinn rún -arr/herr sigr, "boy/free-servant/lad/young-man secret-lore army victory" via Icelandic Sveinn Rúnar Sigurðsson) and Kristján Hreinsson's (from Greek χρῑστός, “the anointed one”; Latin -iānus, “-like”; Old Norse hreinn, "reindeer") Ég les í lófa þínum (I read your palm), known as Valentine Lost at the Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki (from Old Swedish hals, "neck"), Finland, in 2007; and as lead vocalist with Norwegian prog rock band Magic Pie in 2007; image of Eirikur Hauksson, whose extensive musical résumé includes the lead role in Tim Rice and Anthony Lloyd Weber's rock opera, "Jesus Christ Superstar," performed by the Kolbotn Konstororkester (Kolboton Concert Orchestra) in November 2014 at Kolben Kulturhus in Kolbotn, Oslo region, southern Norway: Eirikur Hauksson, via Facebook Nov. 16, 2014

Blackie, C. “Scale, Skali (Scand.), Sheal, Shealing (Scotch), a hut or shed; e.g. Scalby, Scaleby (hut town); Scalloway (the huts on the bay, vig), Shetland; Galashiels (the huts on the R. Gala); Biggarshiels (the huts near the town of Biggar); Shields, North and South, originally a collection of fishermen’s huts; but as scald, in the Scandinavian language means a bard, that word is likely to form an element in the names of places; Scalewell in probably the bard’s well; Skalholt, in Iceland, may be the bard’s hill.” Pages 141-142.
