Ptolemaeus

Four large craters on the Moon // Wilco Kasteleijn

From top to bottom left: Arzachel, Alphonsus, Ptolemaeus, and Albategnius.

Arzachel crater is named after the Arabic instrument maker Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm ibn Yaḥyā al-Naqqāsh al-Zarqālī al-Tujibi (1029 - 1100). His Latinized name was Arzachel, meaning "the engraver." He wrote books about constructing instruments for calculating the positions of the planets.

Alphonsus crater is named after King Alfonso X of Castile (1221-1284). He was sometimes nicknamed the Astrologer for the creation of the Alfonsine tables used to compute the position of the planets.

Ptolemaeus crater is named after the Greek philosopher Claudius Ptolemy (c. 100 - 170). Among his many accomplishments is the Almagest, the earliest surviving complete book on ancient astronomy. It also provided mathematical "proof" for the geocentric nature of the universe.

Albategnius crater is named after Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Jābir ibn Sinān al-Raqqī al-Ḥarrānī aṣ-Ṣābiʾ al-Battānī (bef. 858 - 928), one of the greatest and most famous astronomers of the medieval Islamic world. It was the accuracy of his data that later led Nicolaus Copernicus to consider a heliocentric model of the universe.

Grail Front event is NEVER not fun!!

Especially if you play with your faves, then your imagination will run wild and you'll simulate the real HGW in your head with your own servants.

Duo Sharuru and Cas struck again, ladies and gents~!! This time i chose Fujinon to be our wild card~

The plan was for double support Ptolemy to takeover the western area, Cas to break down the eastern wall and takeover the northern area with Charlie, and while they were doing that, Fujinon would break the western wall and swiftly take down the enemies left. And Sugitani... ok let's just say he was.... guarding master's back, yea.

Well, eventually he— along with double Ptolemy— would have to occupy the enemy spawning spots.

And it went so well~

Look at Sharuru guarding the target point for Ritsuka!! Omgomg i can still imagine this scene so vivid in my mind!!!

Tellarknight Ptolemaeus

“2 or more Level 4 monsters Once per Chain, during either player’s turn: You can detach 3 Xyz Materials from this card; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 Xyz Monster that is 1 Rank higher than this card, except a ‘Number’ monster, by using this face-up card you control as the Xyz Material. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to this card also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.) You can detach 7 Xyz Materials from this card; skip your opponent’s next turn. During each player’s End Phase: You can attach 1 ‘Stellarknight’ card from your Extra Deck to this card as a face-up Xyz Material.”

Coming back from my beautiful grave to post this and then leave again (unless?).

The Apollo 12 Lunar Module Intrepid (LM-6) is photographed in lunar orbit from the Command and Service Modules Yankee Clipper (CSM-108), shortly after undocking.

"The coordinates of the center of the lunar surface shown in picture are 4.5 degrees west longitude and 7 degrees south latitude. The largest crater in the foreground is Ptolemaeus; and the second largest is Herschel. Aboard the LM were astronauts Charles Conrad Jr., commander; and Alan L. Bean, lunar module pilot. Astronaut Richard R. Gordon Jr., command module pilot, remained with the CSM in lunar orbit while Conrad and Bean descended in the LM to explore the surface of the moon."

The craters (from left to right, top to bottom) Ptolemaeus, Alphonsus, Arzachel, and Albategnius on the Moon // MAILLARD

Ptolemaeus crater is named after Claudius Ptolemy (c. 100-170), the Greek astronomer who wrote the Almagest that solidified the geocentric model of the universe for the next millennium.

Alphonsus crater is named after King Alfonso X of Castile (1221-1284) who sponsored the creation of the Alfonsine Tables that computed the position of the Sun, Moon, and planets relative to the stars.

Arzachel crater is named after Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm Yaḥyā al-Naqqāh al-Zarqālī al-Tujibi (1029-1100), an Arabic astronomer who invented two medieval instruments for navigation by the stars.

Albategnius crater is named after Abū ‘Abd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Jābir ibn Sinān al-Raqqī al-Ḥarrānī aṣ-Ṣābi’ al-Battānî (bef. 858-929), an Arabic astronomer who, among many other things, refined and corrected Ptolemy’s Almagest and introduced trigonometry to the world.

nobody will probably see this but ohwell time to introduce some lore into my characters:

Shiba, as you may know Arc-mew. *Arc. as in say an Arch-way. serves as the deity of Arceus. she has 9 lesser siblings, all based off the planets. Venus, Mars, jupiter etc so lets get into them: Shiba - female - lvl 100 - Serious, Proud of their power. (dragon affinity) Solaris. *mercury, - lvl 60 Female. - Lonely, likes to take plenty of siestas. (Fire affinity) Eros *Venus - lvl 50 Male. - Mild, Somewhat Vain (fairy affinity) Ezu *mars - Lvl 70 Male. - Brave, loves to eat. (Ground affinity) Aether *earth - lvl 90 Male - Adamant, Alert to sounds (Grass affinity) Jade *Jupiter - lvl 56 Female - Docile, likes to relax ( Steel affinity) Ptolemaeus *Saturn - Lvl 65 Male - Quirky, Alert to sounds (Dark affinity) Korinna *Uranus - lvl 66 Female - Relaxed, Capable of taking hits (Water affinity) Lochlainn *Neptune - lvl 75 Male - Gentle, Highly curious (Ice affinity) Muirenn *Pluto - lvl 49 Female - Calm, Strongly defiant. (Ghost affinity) *they all have affinities, Affinities are like secondary typings that don't register but make the pokemon limited to normal type moves and the affinity they're assigned. if its pure Normal typing then they can't use any other types of moves. all of these characters will get their references soon aswell. - Ezu and Aether are Donor mews to the mewtwos, (6 total two's are cannonical in this universe.) Arceus doesn't exist, and is general myth, but the other three do(Giratina, Palkia, Dialga). all of these characters have the ability to use Transform regardless of ability or affinity. These siblings live on a "floating island" which was home to fossilized pokemon, which features a polar biome, canyon, bayou/swamp, plains and foresty areas. this is Invisible to humans without the gift of being "revived" or had a near death experience. (think Thestrals sort of) and only can step foot on the island if invited. and only shiba is an Arc-mew. Arc-mew's in general are a mystery but some researchers wish to capture them to see what they can do, for better or worse.

I have this sinking suspicion that I’m afraid to be open, like: midnight in Dinky Town walking cartoon yelling at kids our age. Surely I would be the one to take the hits.

You were always slippery supernova across crowded dance floors. Still I paid for my ticket to the show. Or the time we danced Scottish indie bands after assimilating with the hot concrete an hour before.

We’ve got binary stars swallowed, lady, and we wouldn’t misfire four point thirty five light years away. I figure that Alpha Centauri looks the same from my front step to yours. I’d spend days in geosynchronous orbit as if we haven’t bitten from the same apple.

And still it’s shocking, moon-eyed woman, the galaxy stretches across your collar bone. To think I could, after all this time, pull Ptolemaeus straight from the page to place at your feet.
