- Gig Harbor Peninsula is an informal name for the peninsula on Kitsap Peninsula that contains Gig Habor and Artondale. It is surrounded by Henderson Bay and Carr Inlet to the west, Hale Passage to the southwest, Tacoma Narrows to the southeast, and the southern part of Colvos Passage to the east. The peninsula is primarily in Pierce County, although a sliver of Kitsap County to the north may be included depending on how boundaries are defined. This is the peninsula reached when crossing the Tacoma Narrows Bridge from Tacoma. The name and definition is not formalized.
- Beta Ceti (Wikipedia)
Beta Ceti (β Ceti, abbreviated Beta Cet, β Cet), officially named Diphda /ˈdɪfdə/, is the brightest star in the constellation of Cetus. Although designated ‘beta’, it is actually brighter than the ‘alpha’ star in the constellation, Menkar, by half a magnitude. This orange giant is easy to identify due to its location in an otherwise dark section of the celestial sphere. Based on parallax measurements, it lies at an estimated distance of 96.3 light-years (29.5 parsecs) from the Sun.
