magellan

He managed the Fidelity Magellan Fund from 1977 to 1990 and averaged a 29% annual return over that period.

Another fun fact: Drake's circumnavigation was only the second one on record, after the Magellan expedition.

Remember those initial explorers (Columbus, Magellan etc) who went to unknown oceans risking their life.

This would feel a little bit like sending out a jet plane and seeing Magellan still making his way around the world.

The newest generation of extremely large telescopes, like the Giant Magellan Telescope, will have better angular resolution of Hubble, in visible light.

Why build the Giant Magellan Telescope when apparently there's no more discoveries to make?

Hasn't everything already sort of been discovered, though by, like, Magellan and Cortés?

Tho' I can remember when Magellan dominated this industry, so much so that we all said Magellan when we meant GPS, like Xerox, Sellotape, Hoover and so on.

Now no-one I know has a Magellan (tho' they do still seem to be in business).

To get to the Pacific NW, you have to explore and send ships all the way around, right through the Straits of Magellan below modern Argentina.

I was able to spot the Magellan clouds, the Andromeda but where is Triangulum?

Remember the search aggregators, like Magellan (maybe Columbus?

In that book, the interstellar starship Magellan can reach a large fraction of lightspeed, thanks to its "quantum drive," but, at those speeds, interstellar gas and dust becomes a real problem that could damage the ship.

(This shield has to be replaced, which is why the Magellan stops off at the mostly-water world Thalassa en route to its final destination.) The shield is built of giant hexagonal tiles of ice, which contain seaweed as a strengthener; the resulting mixture is dubbed "icecrete" by some of the engineers.

Worth the price of admission: "Magellan, for example, lost eighty percent of the sailors on his Pacific voyage, and survivors described how 'to chew their rations, they had to keep slicing the swollen tissue of their gums away.'"

The fact that the Earth is round was known by the Greeks and has been acknowledged ever since, not least following several circumnavigations by people such as Magellan.

Cassini, currently around Saturn, is directly descended from the Mariner/Voyager/Viking line, as were Galileo and Magellan.

Senhor Magellan, why should we waste the Crown's treasury, when so many suffer?
