- Big Buck Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Big Buck Unit is to the north and west of the confluence of the Twisp and Methow rivers, just northwest of Twisp. This area includes Ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir forests and open shrubsteppe. Deadhorse, Shaw and Aspen lakes and Peters Puddles, offer key habitat for biodiversity. This unit was primarily purchased for mule deer migration corridors, providing spring and fall range for deer moving to and from summer ranges in the Twisp River drainage and the Sawtooth Wilderness.
- Gamma Persei (stars.astro.illinois.edu)
GAMMA PER (Gamma Persei). The naming of stars at times seems to have little to do with their brightnesses. All the first magnitude stars, and most of the second magnitude visible from classical lands, have names (an outstanding exception being Gamma Cassiopeiae), but from there on the naming is erratic.
