Rho Aquilae

Rho Aquilae (ρ Aql, ρ Aquilae) is the Bayer designation for a star in the northern constellation of Delphinus – it moved across the border from Aquila into Delphinus in 1992. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.94 and is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye in good conditions. The annual parallax shift of this star is 21.75 milliarcseconds, which corresponds to a physical distance of around 150 light-years (46 parsecs) from Earth.

This star has the traditional name Tso Ke, from the Cantonese 左旗 jo keih meaning "the left flag". In Chinese, 左旗 (Zuǒ Qí in Mandarin), meaning Left Flag, refers to an asterism consisting of ρ Aquilae, α Sagittae, β Sagittae, δ Sagittae, ζ Sagittae, γ Sagittae, 13 Sagittae, 11 Sagittae and 14 Sagittae. Consequently, ρ Aquilae itself is known as 左旗九 (Zuǒ Qí jiǔ, English: the Ninth Star of Left Flag.)

Rho Aquilae is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A2 V. This star is about 50 to 120 million years old and it displays an excess emission of infrared radiation that may be explained by a circumstellar disk of dust.

Balls

by: Rkl

Sitting' at a table Thanksgiving day when you were three,
Your father hit you in the mouth and you started to bleed.
You were punished 'cause you weren't really hungry!
Ten years old and you're making everyone ashame,
'Cause you'd rather play guitar than be the star in the game.
I don't want to be a nobody.
I put my head in the sand 'cause I don't want to face it,
Lonely know without you.
You still don't understand why it's myself I been hurting,
For you, I never measured up to you
Oh Lord, set me free!
It ain't over now.
Hurtin' myself 'cause you ain't here to do it.
Still ain't over now.
Hurt me so badly inside.
It ain't over now.
Hurtin' myself 'cause you ain't here to do it.
Still ain't over now.
Hurt me so badly inside.
Oh Lord, set me free!
Stare in the mirror, take a long hard look at myself
The reflection paints a picture of somebody else.
Should I really feel ashamed just to see it?
Judgement was something you had taught me to believe.
You tried to make me be somebody that I couldn't be.
Should I really feel ashamed just to be it?
I put my head in the sand 'cause I don't want to face it.
Lonely now without you.
You still don't understand it's myself I been hating.
You, I never measured up to...
