[152] Mrs. Emily Sineco, see Note to Chapter VI [190].In "Dubliners: Sad Stories," Mrs. Sinico died in November. ［153］Hengler Circus, see Note ［57］ of Chapter 4.There is a circular building with a diameter of eighty feet in the square of Rutland (now Bagnell) for meetings or performances. [154] At two o'clock in the afternoon the previous day, Stephen talked about the "big universe and small universe" and other issues in the library, see the note [418] of Chapter Nine and the relevant text. [155] "House of Slaves", see Chapter 13, Section 3. [156] "Meditated prayer", the original text is Latin. [157] According to the Vulgar Latin Text Bible used by the Catholic Church, the phrase comes from Psalm 113, verse 1.According to the "King James Version English Bible", it is the 114th verse 1. [158] Refers to the perigee when the moon's orbit is closest to the earth. [159] The Milky Way is not clear enough, so no matter how deep it stays on the bottom of the vertical axis, the day is invisible. [160] Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, is about 8.6 light-years from the sun.Arceus (Alpha Bootes), the brightest star in the northern constellation Bootes, is about forty light-years from Earth. ［161］Precession is the movement of the vernal equinox along the ecliptic plane (ie the earth's orbital plane) caused by the periodic change of the earth's rotation axis. [162] Orion is one of the constellations in the equatorial belt.Among them, the three stars "Betelgeuse", "Betelgeuse II" and "Betelgeuse One" are arranged in a straight line, forming the "Orion" belt."Faer" in the south of the belt is a quadruple star, surrounded by the famous large nebula M42. [163] "Nova", between February 21 and 22, 1901, TD Anderson of Edinburgh discovered a nova near the constellation Andromeda, which soon became the brightest in the northern hemisphere. The stars, then disappear. [164] Hercules is one of the constellations in the northern sky. In 1905, astronomers calculated that the solar system was moving toward Hercules at a speed of 16 miles per second. ［165］The German astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel (1784-1846) tried to determine the distance of the stars based on the precise information of 50,000 stellar positions.He chose 61 Cygnus, a dark star with high-speed relative motion on the celestial sphere, as the object for measuring parallax, and measured its distance as 10.3 light-years. [166] Bedding is a layered structure that occurs in most sedimentary and surface-forming igneous rocks.Where rock formations have been deformed, bedding holds a record of past Earth movements. [167] Bloom drew this picture in order to win one million pounds, see Chapter XV Note [487] and the relevant text. ［168］ What Bloom thinks of here is the numerology that uses numbers to explain people's character or fortune-telling, which is advocated by theosophists such as Mrs. Blavatsky.Its theoretical basis is the thought of Pythagoras, an ancient Greek philosopher, that all things can be decomposed into numbers in the end, so they can be represented by numbers. [169] According to Don Gifford et al. [170] "Apogee" refers to the point on the orbit of the moon and artificial satellites that is farthest from the earth. [171] Paraphrase Chapter 1, Section 2 of "Old Testament Ecclesiastes" here, the original words are: "Vanity of emptiness, emptiness of emptiness, everything is emptiness." [172] Walsingham Road is another name for the Milky Way.There is a Walsingham Notre Dame Temple in Norfolk, England. The Milky Way is considered to be the approach to the Notre Dame Temple located in the sky, hence the name. [173] David's chariot refers to Ursa Minor.Since ancient times, Jews have sometimes regarded Ursa Minor as the bear that King David killed when he was young (see "1 Samuel" Chapter 17, Section 36), or the chariot that sent the prophet Elijah to heaven, see Chapter Notes to Chapter Twelve [647] and related texts. ［174］意大利天文学家伽利略（1564-1642）和巴伐利亚天文学家西蒙・马里乌斯（1573-1624）都宣称在一六一0年前后发现了木星的四颗最大的卫星木卫一、木卫二、木卫三和木卫四。他们是分别独立地发现它们的。 ［175］吉乌塞佩・皮亚齐（1746-1826），意大利天文学家，曾发现第一颗小行星、（1801），并把它取名谷神星，又编成一本载有七六四六颗恒星位置的大星表（1814）。 ［176］厄本-琼-约瑟夫・勒威耶（1811-1877）是法国天文学家。他注意到夭王星轨道的不规则性，井把这种现象解释为有一颗未知行星存在。德国天文学家约翰・戈特弗里德・加勒（1812-1910）受他的委托，在距他计算出的位置不足一度处发现了海王星。威廉・赫歇耳爵士（1738-1822 ）是英国天文学家，于一七八一年发现了天王星。他还记录了八四八颗双星并测出它们的角距离和相对亮度。 ［177］约翰・埃勒特・波得（1747-1826），德国天文学家。因发现太阳与行星平均距离的经验公式而闻名。约翰内斯・开普勒（1571-1630），德国天文学家。他在《宇宙和谐论》（1619）中指出，行星公转周期的平方等于轨道半长轴的立方，后世称之为开普勒第三定律。 ［178］英语comet（彗星）一词源于希腊文kometes（有长毛的）， 所以这里说彗星“多毛”，指接近太阳时，彗核周围出现的云雾状彗发。下文中的近日距和远日距分别指彗星运行轨道最接近太阳或离太阳最远的点。 ［179］年纪较轻的天体观测者指斯蒂芬。他出生的五年前（1877），意大利天文学家乔・斯基帕雷利绘制了第一张现代的火星图，他将分布于火星表面亮区上的暗线网称为“运河”。斯蒂芬十二岁时（1894），美国天文学家P・洛韦尔发现“暗波”现象。当春季来临极冠开始缩小时，极冠边沿地带就出现暗区，并不断延伸扩大，然后消失于另一半球中。 ［180］由于月球、地球和太阳三者相对位置的改变，从地球上看来，月球便有盈亏的变化。月相更替的周期平均等于二十九天半，即一个朔望月。当月球恰好在地球和太阳之间的时候，月球以黑暗半球对着我们，这时的月相叫“新月”。西欧民间迷信，如果偶然看见了新月时期的黑暗半球，便是不样的预兆。歌谣《圣帕特里克・斯宾斯》有云：“我瞧见了新月，／把旧月抱在怀里，／亲爱的主人啊，／我怕咱们会倒楣。” ［181］指第谷新星，见第九章注［450］。 ［182］七星花冠星座指北斗七星（即大熊座）。布卢姆出生的那一年（1866）五月，这个星座曾出现了一颗新星，命名为T・勃利亚里斯花冠，亮度为二等， 后来消失。 ［183］斯蒂芬・迪达勒斯生于一八八二年。一八八五年一颗新星出现于仙女座，叫作S．Fairy.布卢姆那个夭折的儿子叫鲁道尔夫，小名鲁迪。他生于一八九三年，而爱丁堡的T.0.安德森曾于一八九二年一月在御夫座中发现一颗新星。三月底即由第四级退缩到第十二级星。 ［184］当时民间相信月亮的盈亏对人有影响。头一天下午布卢姆遇见布林太太，她就曾说她丈夫“一到这时候（指升起新月）老毛病就犯啦”（ 见第八章注［70］及有关正文）。 ［185］指英文字母Y。 ［186］据《路加福音》第2章第21节，照一般犹太男婴的规矩，耶稣是生后八天行割礼的，刚好是一月一日。割礼意味着社会对个人的正式承认。斯蒂芬在这里是怀疑耶稣既然有神性（参看第一章注［114］，本章注［134］），那就没有必要行割礼。据堂吉福德等合编的《 ［187］耶稣的包皮现存于罗马郊外卡尔卡塔的圣科尔内留斯与西普里安教堂。斯蒂芬联想到的这个问题的意思是：究竟该把这包皮当作“人”的遗物还是“神”的圣物？ ［188］这里，作者假借星星来回忆他和妻子诺拉首次的幽会（1904年6月16日）的往事。贝勒奈西（约公元前269-前221）是昔兰尼（今利比亚）国王之女。当她的丈夫托勒密三世出征时，她献出秀发，以祈求神灵保佑他平安生还。据说这缕头发被送往天国，成为后发星座，又名“贝勒奈西之发”。 ［189］在星占术中，狮子宫是黄道十二宫的第五官，代表那些富于创造性、心地善良的人们，他们又是殷勤的东道主。
