Uranian (sexuality)
Uranian (from the Ancient Greek Aphrodite Urania (, )) is a historical term for homosexual men. The word was also used as an adjective in association with male homosexuality or inter-male attraction regardless of sexual orientation. An early use of the term appears in Friedrich Schiller's 'Sixth Letter' in the '' Aesthetic Education of Man'' (1795–96). Schiller claims that state institutions are so jealous they would rather share their servants with a Cytherean Venus than a Uranian Venus.Friedrich Schiller. 'Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man.' In Harrison, Wood and Gaiger eds. ''Art in Theory 1648-1815: An Anthology of Changing Ideas''. Malden, Mass.: Blackwell, 2000. p. 800. The term was used by activist Karl Heinrich Ulrichs in a series of five booklets from 1864 to 1865 collected under the title (''The Riddle of Man–Manly Love''). The term ''uranian'' was adopted by English-language advocates of homosexual emancipation in the Victorian era, such as Edward Carpent ...

Uranians
The Uranians were a late-19th-century and early-20th-century clandestine group of up to several dozen male homosexual poets and prose writers who principally wrote on the subject of the love of (or by) adolescent boys. In a strict definition they were an English literary and cultural movement; in a broader definition there were also American Uranians. The movement reached its peak between the late 1880s and mid 1890s, but has been regarded as stretching between 1858, when William Johnson Cory's poetry collection ''Ionica'' appeared, and 1930, the year of publication of Samuel Elsworth Cottam's ''Cameos of Boyhood and Other Poems'' and of E. E. Bradford's last collection, ''Boyhood''. Etymology English advocates of homosexual emancipation such as Edward Carpenter and John Addington Symonds took to using the term "Uranian" to describe a comradely love that would bring about true democracy. The word was coined on the basis of classical sources, being inspired principally by the e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Uranus
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. It is a gaseous cyan-coloured ice giant. Most of the planet is made of water, ammonia, and methane in a Supercritical fluid, supercritical phase of matter, which astronomy calls "ice" or Volatile (astrogeology), volatiles. Atmosphere of Uranus, The planet's atmosphere has a complex layered cloud structure and has the lowest minimum temperature () of all the Solar System's planets. It has a marked axial tilt of 82.23° with a Retrograde and prograde motion, retrograde rotation period of 17 hours and 14 minutes. This means that in an 84-Earth-year orbital period around the Sun, its poles get around 42 years of continuous sunlight, followed by 42 years of continuous darkness. Uranus has the third-largest diameter and fourth-largest mass among the Solar System's planets. Based on current models, inside its volatile Mantle (geology), mantle layer is a rocky core, and surrounding it is a thick hydrogen and helium atmosphere. Trace amount ...

Uranian System
Uranus, the seventh planet of the Solar System, has 28 confirmed moons. The 27 with names are named after characters that appear in, or are mentioned in, William Shakespeare's plays and Alexander Pope's poem '' The Rape of the Lock''. Uranus's moons are divided into three groups: thirteen inner moons, five major moons, and ten irregular moons. The inner and major moons all have prograde orbits and are cumulatively classified as regular moons. In contrast, the orbits of the irregular moons are distant, highly inclined, and mostly retrograde. The inner moons are small dark bodies that share common properties and origins with Uranus's rings. The five major moons are ellipsoidal, indicating that they reached hydrostatic equilibrium at some point in their past (and may still be in equilibrium), and four of them show signs of internally driven processes such as canyon formation and volcanism on their surfaces. The largest of these five, Titania, is 1,578 km in diameter and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aphrodite Urania
Aphrodite Urania (, Latinized as Venus Urania) was an epithet of the Greek goddess Aphrodite, signifying a "heavenly" or "spiritual" aspect descended from the sky-god Ouranos to distinguish her from the more earthly epithet of Aphrodite Pandemos, "Aphrodite for all the people". The two were used (mostly in literature) to differentiate the more "celestial" love of body and soul from purely physical lust. Plato represented her as a daughter of the Greek god Uranus, conceived and born without a mother. Hesiod described this aspect as being born from the severed genitals of Uranus and emerging from the sea foam. Etymology and names According to Herodotus, the Arabs called this aspect of the goddess " Alitta" or "Alilat" ( or ). The most distinctively Western Asian title of the Greek Aphrodite is Urania, the Semitic "queen of the heavens". It has been explained by reference to the lunar character of the goddess, but more probably signifies "she whose seat is in heaven", whence s ...

Urania
Urania ( ; ; modern Greek shortened name ''Ránia''; meaning "heavenly" or "of heaven") was, in Greek mythology, the muse of astronomy and astrology. Urania is the goddess of astronomy and stars, her attributes being the globe and compass. The muse ''Urania'' is sometimes confused with '' Aphrodite Urania'' ("heavenly Aphrodite") because of their similar name. Family Urania was the daughter of Zeus by Mnemosyne and also a great-granddaughter of Uranus. Some accounts list her as the mother of the musician Linus by Apollo or Hermes or Amphimarus, son of Poseidon. Hymenaeus is also said to have been a son of Urania. Function and representation Urania is often associated with Universal Love. Sometimes identified as the eldest of the divine sisters, Urania inherited Zeus' majesty and power and the beauty and grace of her mother Mnemosyne.

Uranian (comics)
The Uranians are a fictional race appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They first appeared in '' Marvel Boy'' #1 (1950) as the human-like inhabitants of the planet Uranus who became the hosts and mentors of Marvel Boy (Robert Grayson) and provided him with the technology which led to him becoming a superhero. Uranians were originally described as a utopian society of extraterrestrials native to Uranus who had found scientific cures for aging, disease, crime, and other adversities. They were later retconned as a colony of the Eternals, an offshoot of humanity that possessed near-immortality, super-powers and vastly advanced technology even before the founding their colony on Uranus. The backstory of Uranos and other Uranian Eternals (such as Sui-San, mother of Thanos) was featured in '' Captain Marvel'' #29 (November 1973, by Jim Starlin). Fictional history Centuries ago, a civil war among Earth's Eternals ended with the losing side, led by Urano ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Uranian Phalanstery
The 'Uranian Phalanstery' and the associated First New York Gnostic Lyceum Temple is an artist collective in New York City. The husband-and-wife team of Richard Oviet Tyler and his wife, Dorothea Baer established the Uranian Phalanstery in 1974, with beginnings even earlier, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. It later moved to different buildings on the Upper West Side. For over thirty years, it has served as a stimulating, art-filled oasis for many gnostic artists. Due to the severe physical deterioration of the building, the Phalanstery sold the property and moved into a brownstone in the Sugar Hill area. Dorothea died in 2012. The Uranian Phalanstery regularly hosts community events under the guidance of Medi Matin showcasing exhibitions and performances. History Richard Tyler and Dorothea Baer, two artists who met while attending the Chicago Institute of Fine Art , established the Uranian Phalanstery in 1974.

Hamburg School Of Astrology
The German Hamburg School of Astrology (root school of the international Uranian Astrology offshoot) is a school of astrology based on the teachings of surveyor, astrologer and amateur astronomer Alfred Witte. It is characterized by use of astrological midpoints and eight astronomically-deduced hypothetical points, expanding the framework beyond traditional astrology. History The Hamburg School was established as an Association as "Astrologenverein Hamburger Schule" on October 31, 1925 in Hamburg. In 1932 the first partner group was established in Düsseldorf by Theodor Keysers. Early collaborators of Alfred Witte were Friedrich Sieggrün and Ludwig Rudolph, and the Hamburg School's first points beyond Neptune were posited during the astronomical searches leading to the 'discovery' of Pluto (and so classified as 'Transneptunians'). They concluded that the additional points, initially classified as planets but now seen as possible barycenters of planetoid belts, were useful in ...
