Summary

An examination of the Anatolian sources of Greek theogonic traditions, syncretistic myths that took shape in admixed Ur-Aeolian–Luvian communities in the Late Bronze Age, and descendent Aeolian assemblages of mythic and cult elements that persist into the Iron Age. Essential to many of these traditions is the presence of honey, especially honey having psychotropic properties of a sort that occurs naturally along the southern and eastern shores of the Black Sea.

This report is a brief summary of some of the major achievements in studies of planets and satellites that have been accomplished during the years 2003–2005. Unlike previous years, we do not attempt to provide a detailed overview of the field but rather choose to highlight aspects which are of particular novelty.

We present ground-based disc resolved polarimetric imaging and spectropolarimetry of Uranus and Neptune in the wavelength range from 530 to 930 nm with the goal to constrain the expected polarization of extra-solar planets with similar atmospheric properties. We find for both planets a high limb polarization as expected for atmospheres with significant Rayleigh scattering layers. The limb polarization is enhanced in the strong methane absorption bands when compared to the adjacent continuum. From the observed polarization features we conclude that extra-solar planets with atmospheric properties similar to Uranus and Neptune are strongly polarized and well suited for polarimetric detection and investigation.
