• ... that Johannes Schöner was pioneer in the history of globe making, and that he played a significant role in the events that led up to the publishing of Copernicus' De revolutionibus in Nürnberg in 1543?
• ... that a Kovalevskaya top is a symmetric top in which two moments of inertia are equal, the third is half as large, and the center of gravity is located in the plane perpendicular to the symmetry axis (parallel to the plane of the two equal points)?
• ... that the Superimposed Fraunhofer is an postage stamp misprinted with the image of Joseph von Fraunhofer superimposed on the color spectrum bar, and that the cause of the misprint is thought to originate in as as-yet unidentified crime against light?
• ... that although greedy coloring algorithms do not, in general, use the minimum number of colors possible, they have been used in mathematics as a technique for proving other results about colorings?
