Alcyone comes from the name given for a certain constellation of stars. That's about all I know about its origin...

 As for the origin of the logo... If memory serves, it's supposed to resemble a gazelle's horns or some similar fast-moving, graceful plain-dwelling critter...

Pains dwelling critter-maybe a meercat...

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Knightwulf
[B] The stars in the Pleiades are thought to have formed together around 100 million years ago, making them 1/50th the age of our sun, and they lie some 130 parsecs (425 light years) away. From our perspective they appear in the constellation of Taurus, with approximate celestial coordinates of 3 hours 47 minutes right ascension and +24 degrees declination. For northern hemisphere viewers, the cluster is above and to the right of Orion the Hunter as one faces south, and it transits -- reaches its highest point in the sky, midway between rising and setting -- around 4am in September, midnight in November, and 8pm in January. [QUOTE] Isn't it actually us rotating/tilting on this globe that makes for all the "rising, zenith and what we all see from different parts of earth? I'll have to get the citrus fruits out again and check...
