Khaosai Galaxy - Khaosai Galaxy Sura Saenkham (born May 15, 1959) was one of the sport of boxing's greatest champions ever, and a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame. A native of Petchaboon, Thailand, Saenkham was a world champion in the sport of kickboxing in the early 1980s. As his star rose in his native Thailand, he did as many of his famous countrymen do, and adopted a "catchier" name. He has been known as Khaosai Galaxy ever since. In December, 1980, he turned his attentions to orthodox boxing and promptly won his first six fights. That earned him a shot at the Thailand bantamweight (118-pound) title on July 29, 1981 against Sakda Saksuree. Little did Saksuree realize he had made boxing history when he beat Galaxy.
Kaokor Galaxy - Kaokor Galaxy Nirote Saenkham (born May 15, 1959) in Petchaboon, Thailand, is the twin brother of boxing star Khaosai Galaxy and a two-time world champion in his own right. Like his brother, Nirote Saenkham started his career in the sport of kickboxing and later switched to orthodox boxing. After becoming a sports star in his native country, he followed a long-standing Thai custom of adopting an attention-getting pseudonym and thus became known as Kaokor Galaxy. He entered professional boxing in 1985 and won his first seven fights before capturing the Thai bantamweight (118-pound) title in July 1986. He held that crown until May 9, 1988, when he upset Puerto Rico's Wilfredo Vasquez to take the WBA world bantamweight title. With the victory, the Galaxy brothers became the.

World Boxing Council - President Alfonso Lopez Mateos. Nowadays, the WBC has relations with more than 170 countries, including Kuwait, where the first world title fight in an Arabian country was held there in 1986 when the WBC's world Bantamweight champion Khaosai Galaxy of Thailand defended his crown with a 12 round unanimous decision win over former world Jr Flyweight and Flyweight champion Freddie Castillo of Mexico. The WBC's championship belt portrays all of the flags of the countries that back up the organization, but the flags of the first 12 countries to accept them are displayed on the center of the belt along with a boxer raising his hand, to honor those 12 countries. The WBC's relationship with the WBA has improved and over the years, WBC and WBA world champions have been able.
Michael Moorer - belt with a 12 round decision over Vaughn Bean, and then losing to Holyfield by a knockout in eight rounds in November. Moorer visited the canvas five times in his rematch with Holyfield. After this, he retired from boxing for three years before returning with a knockout of journeyman Lorenzo Boyd. He won three more fights, then seemingly retired again when he was knocked out in only 30 seconds of round one by David Tua on August 17, 2002. However, he returned to the ring once again on March 29, 2003, beating Otis Tisdale on points over 10 rounds, and at age 35, is seeking a shot at his fifth world championship belt. On August 23, he beat Brazil's Rodolfo Lobo by knockout in only 64 seconds. Moorer and Atlas didn't.
Galaxy formation and evolution - Galaxy formation and evolution In astrophysics, the questions of galaxy formation and evolution are How, from a homogeneous universe, did we obtain the very inhomogeneous one we live in?, How did galaxies form?, How do galaxies change over time? The formation of galaxies is still is one of the most active research areas in astrophysics; and, to some extent, this is also true for their evolution. Some ideas, however, are now widely accepted. ''A spectacular head-on collision between two galaxies is seen in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope true-color image of the Cartwheel Galaxy. Click on the picture for more information and a larger version. After the Big Bang the universe had a period when it was remarkably homogeneous, as can be observed in the Cosmic.
Galaxy - Galaxy Stars are almost always found in collections called galaxies, together with gas, dust, and "dark matter"; ~10-20% of a galaxy is composed of stars, gas, and dust. Galaxies are held together by gravitational attraction and the galactic components orbit a common centre. There is some evidence that black holes may exist at the centre of some, or most, galaxies. Galaxies "evolve" from protogalaxies. Seen behind a veil of foreground stars which lie within our own galaxy, this face-on spiral galaxy (ESO 269-57) is about 150 million light-years away and 200,000 light-years across. Galaxies come in three main types: ellipticals, spirals, and irregulars. A slightly more extensive description of galaxy types is given by the Hubble sequence. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, sometimes simply called.
Galaxy Quest - Galaxy Quest Galaxy Quest is a 1999 movie parodying Star Trek, starring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman. This movie is about the washed-up stars of a Star Trek-like TV series called Galaxy Quest who find themselves in a real Galaxy Quest-esque setting, thanks to some aliens who, never having heard of fiction, believed the show to be "historical documents" and duplicated the technology. This movie parodied everything from the technology of Star Trek to the Star Trek conventions. The parody is mostly friendly, and was widely appreciated by science fiction fans. The movie won the Hugo Award for best science fiction movie of the year..
Galaxy science fiction - Galaxy science fiction Galaxy Science Fiction magazine was the creation of noted pulp magazine editor Horace Leonard Gold.

Galaxy rotation problem - Galaxy rotation problem The galaxy rotation problem is the discrepancy between the observed rotation of galaxies and the predictions of current physical theories. Attempts to resolve the galaxy rotation problem have included the hypothesis of dark matter and the hypothesis known as Modified Newtonian Dynamics. In the beginning of the 1980s, the first observational evidence was reported that galaxies do not spin as expected according to then current theories. A galaxy is a collection of stars orbiting the bulge (the center of the galaxy). Since the orbit of stars is driven solely by the gravitational force, it was expected that stars at the edge would have an orbital period much larger than those near the bulge. For example, the Earth which is 150 million kilometers away.
Galaxy class starship - Galaxy class starship In the fictional Star Trek universe, the Galaxy class of starships, named after the USS Galaxy, are designed to be able to accommodate families as well as crew quarters; the USS Enterprise had a crew complement of 1,014, but was capable of holding over 15,000 people if necessary. The saucer section (the literal "saucer" shaped module which forms the "head" of the ship) can be separated before a battle in order to put civilians out of danger in a serious battle situation. The most notable Galaxy-class starship was the USS Enterprise-D, the flagship of the United Federation of Planets, and the "star" ship of Star Trek: The Next Generation. When it was destroyed, it was succeeded by the Sovereign-class USS Enterprise-E. Table of.
Galaxy Express 999 - Galaxy Express 999 Galaxy Express 999 is a manga written and drawn by Leiji Matsumoto, as well as various anime films and TV series based on it. The story is set in a space-faring, high-tech future, where mechanized people with "machine bodies" are pushing humanity towards irrelevance and extinction. A street urchin named Tetsuro Hoshino desperately wants an indestructable machine body so that he can avenge the death of his mother, who was hunted down for sport by the robotic Count Mecha. While machine bodies are impossibly expensive, they are supposedly given away for free on the planet Andromeda, the end of the line for the space train Galaxy Express 999. Tetsuro meets up with a beautiful woman, Maetel (sometimes translated "Maeter", both from the Latin.

Gutenberg Galaxy - Gutenberg Galaxy The Gutenberg Galaxy, named for Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of printing, is the universe of all printed books ever published. The term was first used by Marshall McLuhan in his book The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man first published in 1962. As an estimate of the size of the Gutenberg Galaxy, as of 2002/2003, the British Library claimed that it held over 150 million items, and the Library of Congress claimed that it held approximately 119 million items. Given an estimated average book size of 6 Mbytes for a purely textual book containing 1 million words, this represents roughly 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes (1015 bytes) of text..
Elliptical galaxy - Elliptical galaxy Elliptical Galaxy Type of galaxy in the Hubble sequence characterized by the following physical properties: The giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4881 (the spherical glow at upper left) lies at the edge of the Coma Cluster of Galaxies. No or at most inconsiderable amount of angular momentum No or at most inconsiderable amount of interstellar matter, no young stars, no open star clusters Consisted of old, so-called Population II stars Larger elliptical galaxies typically have a system of globular clusters This traditional portrait of elliptical galaxies paints them as galaxies where the star formation was over after the initial burst, now shining only with their aging stars. No significant evolution was thought to happen. Some recent observations have found young, blue star clusters inside a few.
