- Seattle Neighborhoods: Greenwood — Thumbnail History (historylink.org)
The bog once known as Woodland has become, over the past century, Seattle’s Greenwood neighborhood. Greenwood extends beyond the former city limits at N 85th Street to Holman Road NW and angles into N 100th Street. The community’s western boundary at 8th Avenue NW marked the city limits when the neighborhood took its name, and Aurora Avenue N runs along its eastern edge. Only the southern boundary, which divides Greenwood from the Phinney Ridge neighborhood, floats, depending upon who is speaking. Most people agree that N 80th Street, the former terminus of the electric trolley Phinney line, should serve as the logical white chalk line. Greenwood began as a bog and a cemetery, but has become a vibrant neighborhood known for its antiques shops and art walk.
- Gamma Trianguli Australis (stars.astro.illinois.edu)
GAMMA TRA (Gamma Trianguli Australis). If this star were not so bright – within the top 150 stars – it would probably be ignored. But at mid-third magnitude (2.89), it just barely makes the list at number 149, and thus earns some measure of respect, which it deserves if for no other reason than that it anchors the southwest apex of bright and obvious Triangulum Australe (the Southern Triangle), which is dominated by mid-second magnitude Atria.
- Gamma Trianguli Australis (Wikipedia)
Gamma Trianguli Australis, Latinized from γ Trianguli Australis, is a single, white-hued star in the southern constellation of Triangulum Australe. Along with Alpha and Beta Trianguli Australis it forms a prominent triangular asterism that gives the constellation its name (Latin for southern triangle). It is the third-brightest member of this constellation with an apparent visual magnitude of +2.87. Based upon parallax measurements, Gamma Trianguli Australis is located at a distance of about 190 light-years (58 parsecs) from Earth.
