Cluster.\n\nEDIT: constellations are stars that make a connect-the-dots type shape in the sky. However, the stars that make up a constellation can be VERY far apart. A star cluster is a situation where two or more stars are gravitationally bound to each other.

It is not in the bible.  The Rosary is a tool for Christian meditation.  In addition to the Hail Mary, there is the Our Father, Apostle's Creed and Fatima prayer.  The purpose of the Rosary is to focus on the Sorrowful, Joyful and Glorious mysteries of Jesus' life.  \n\nThe rosary is part of the tradition of the Catholic church.  Not all prayers are contained in the bible.  If anyone thinks otherwise, I invite them to answer this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnlKLPyChHRe5ldKVJcUIEXsy6IX?qid=1006040415585\n\nAs for the Hail Mary prayer, it clearly states Mary is blessed.  She doesn't do the blessing.  We ask her to PRAY for us.  We don't ask her to answer our prayers.

How to Pray the Rosary\n\nThe Rosary is a devotion to the Incarnation of Our Lord and to His Blessed Mother. It is composed of fifteen decades, each decade consisting of the Our Father, ten Hail Marys, and the Glory Be to the Father, and each being recited in honor of some mystery in the life of Our Lord and of His Blessed Mother. During each decade we should call to mind the mystery which it is intended to honor, and pray that we may learn to practice the virtue specially taught us by that mystery.\n\nBegin the Rosary by:\n\n\n\nMaking the Sign of the Cross Sign of the Cross and say the Apostles Creed. \n\nSay the Our Father.\n\nSay three Hail Marys.\n\nSay the Glory Be and then, if you wish, say the Fatima Prayer. \n\nAnnounce the First Mystery, then say the Our Father. \n\nSay ten Hail Marys, while meditating on the Mystery. \n\nSay the Glory Be, then, if you wish, say the Fatima Prayer. \n\nAnnounce the Second Mystery; then say the Our Father.

The Rosary is a very ancient prayer addressed to the Virgin Mary.  The reason Catholics pray to her is that She is in Heaven with Christ, her Son (who is also Our Lord and Our God).  By praying to her, we ask her to intercede for us before her Son.  All prayer is ultimately addressed to God.  But we can address Him directly or address Him through the intercession of a saint (like the Virgin Mary).  A saint is a friend of God and a friend and disciple of Christ.  God likes us to go to Him through His friends.  He allows men and women to participate in the salvation of the world by praying for one another.  That is the reality that the Catholic Church calls "The Communion of Saints".  All saints are in communion (fellowship) with one another because they are one in Christ Our Lord.  Christ Himself prayed to His Father that we may all be united (one) as He and His Father are one.\n\nWe can indeed pray for the dead, because by doing so, we ask Our Lord (directly or through the intercession of a saint) to help that person in his or her final stage of purification.  Some people go directly to Heaven, but many have to first undergo a final stage of purification known as Purgatory.  The Christian Church has always believed and taught that.  It is not a "new teaching".  What is "new" is the rejection of this doctrine in modern times (in particular since the "Reformation").  Purgatory exists because, in order to see God, one must be pure.  But complete purity is not something that many of us obtain in this life here on earth.  God does not want to condemn such people forever in Hell, so, as a marvellous demonstration of His Infinite Mercy, He allows them to undergo a final stage of purification in Purgatory.  Purgatory is a mystery of Grace, not of Punishment or the Wrath of God.  It is out of love, ultimately, that Catholics pray for the dead.  Our prayers can help them a great deal, and obtain from Heaven numerous graces for them, so that they may finally be delivered from Purgatory and enjoy the Eternal Vision of God in His Kingdom, where He lives and reigns as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, One God for ever and ever.

The Pleiades are a dipper-shaped cluster of stars situated in the “shoulder” of the constellation Taurus. While roughly 400 light years from Earth, the Pleiades are one of the most visible clusters in the night sky. On a given night, between six and seven of the nearly 500 stars in the clusters are visible with the naked eye. The Pleiades have been the subject of a plethora of myths and tales from a variety of cultures; they are best known, however, as the seven sisters from Greek mythology. The nine most prominent stars have individual Greek names and represent each of the seven sisters of Greek mythology and their parents. The brightest member in the Pleiades is Alcyon. The other stars in the cluster that have Greek names include Merope, Celaeno, Sterope (which is actually a double star), Taygeta, Maia, Electra, Atlas, and Pleione.

Since this constellation is easily viewable as two parallel stick figures, considering faint stars visible to the naked eye, it was associated with the myth of Castor and Polydeuces (also known as the Dioscuri). A myth of these twins heavily concerns cattle theft, and may be connected to early views of the Milky Way, as a herd of dairy cows or cattle, by which they are situated.

Sure!\n\nThe "54-day Rosary Novena" is an uninterrupted series of Rosaries in honor of Our Lady, revelead to the incurably sick Fortuna Agrelli by Our Lady of Pompeii at Naples in 1884. For thirteen months Fortuna Agrelli had endured dreadful sufferings and torturous cramps; she had been given up by the most celebrated physicians. On February 16, 1884, the afflicted girl and her relatives commenced a novena of Rosaries. The Queen of the Holy Rosary favored her with an apparition on March 3rd. Mary, sitting upon a high throne, surrounded by luminous figures, held the divine Child on her lap, and in her hand a Rosary. The Virgin Mother and the holy Infant were clad in gold-embroidered garments. They were accompanied by St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Siena. The throne was profusely decorated with flowers; the beauty of Our Lady was marvelous. Blessed Virgin said: "Child, thou has invoked me by various titles and hast always obtained favors from me. Now, since thou hast called me by that title so pleasing to me, 'Queen of the Holy Rosary,' I can no longer refuse the favor thou dost petition; for this name is most precious and dear to me. Make three novenas, and thou shalt obtain all."\nOnce more the Queen of the Holy Rosary appeared to her and said, " Whoever desires to obtain favors from me should make three novenas of the prayers of the Rosary, and three novenas in thanksgiving." \nThe Novena consists of five decades of the Rosary each day for twenty-seven days in petition; then immediately five decades each day for twenty-seven days in thanksgiving, whether or not the request has been granted.The meditations vary from day to day. Now with the new mysteries the table is changed. On the first day meditate on the Joyful Mysteries; on the second day the Light Mysteries; on the third day the sorrowful Mysteries; on the fourth day meditate again on the glorious Mysteries; and so on throughout the fifty-four days. \n\nA laborious Novena, but a Novena of Love. You who are sincere will not find it too difficult, if you really wish to obtain your request.
