This nontechnical narrative brings vitality and accessibility to some of the most enduring subjects in human history, offering a lively new exploration of the visual connections between celestial phenomena and artistic expression.'Ever wonder how religion and art became forces of imagination on our nightskies Or how the night skies became forces of imagination on our religionand art In this brilliant study of constellations and culture, Michael Mendillo,professor of astronomy at Boston University, reveals that the canopy of stars has been an ideologically contested space from the beginning, ensuring thatthe next time you look up, the sky will look completely different to you.'- Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director, Hayden Planetarium, American Museum of Natural History'Saints and Sinners impressionistically reveals the connections of art, astronomy, and religion in Western culture to illuminate the age-old quest for celestial-terrestrial connections.' -Roberta J.M. Olson, author of Giotto's Portrait of Halley's Comet and Cosmos: The Art and Science of the Universe'Professor Mendillo's book does a priceless service, opening the doors of our minds to images that will stir us, because the heavens are partof us, and we all long to know how and why.'-Rev.

DOI: 10. 1007/s11214-008-9353-0 © Springer Science+Business Media B. V. 2008 Keywords Aeronomy The term ¿aeronomy¿ has been used widely for many decades, but its origin has mostly been lost over the years. It was introduced by Sydney Chapman in a Letter to the Editor, entitled ¿Some Thoughts on Nomenclature¿, in Nature in 1946 (Chapman 1946). In that letter he suggested that aeronomy should replace meteorology, writing that the word ¿meteor is now irrelevant and misleading¿. This proposal was apparently not received with much support so in a short note in Weather in 1953 Chapman (1953)wrote: ¿If, despite its obvious convenience of brevity in itself and its derivatives, it does not commend itself to aeronomers, I think there is a case for modifying my proposal so that instead of the word being used to signify the study of the atmosphere in general, it should be adopted with the restricted sense of the science of the upper atmosphere, for which there is no convenient short word. ¿ In a chapter, he wrote in a 1960 book (Chapman 1960), he give his nal and de nitive de nition, by stating that ¿Aeronomy is the science of the upper region of the atmosphere, where dissociation and ionization are important¿. The Workshop on ¿Comparative Aeronomy¿ was held at ISSI during the week of June 25¿29, 2007.
