13	Keep an Eye on Hypergiant Rho Cassiopeiae, Alex Lobel An eruption in 1946 of mighty Rho Cassiopeiae put the astronomy community on guard, and recent, exciting changes in the star may portend something big and explosive for it in the near future.
20	Archaeoastronomy and the Ancient Maya World, Edwin L. Barnhart Nearly two millennia ago, the Maya were putting mathematics and celestial observations to use in their calendrical system, architecture, and ritual. Today, archaeoastronomers are working to piece their science and culture back together.
30	Truth and Beauty in Cosmology: Does the Universe Have an Aesthetic?, Chris Impey Astronomy is an empirical science, yet scientific definitions of truth and beauty are closely tied to the fact that mathematics appears to provide an accurate description of the physical Universe.
