The goods train locomotives of Class C VI were German steam engines built between 1899 and 1905 for the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staatsbahn). It had great similarity to the Prussian G 5.4, but had a higher boileroverpressure and better riding qualities. In all the Bavarian state railways procured 83 engines of this type over that period. More machines with slight modifications were acquired between 1907 and 1909. These 37 engines were given the designation G3/4 N. The Deutsche Reichsbahn inherited 64 Class CVI and 32 Class G3/4N engines. These were given operating numbers 54 1301–1364 and 54 1401–1432. The Class C VII locomotives remained in service until 1931, their Class G3/4N sister locomotives until 1935.
Both variants were equipped with a Bavarian 2'2' T 18 tender.
The Great Comet of 1577 (official designation: C/1577 V1) was a comet that passed close to Earth during the year 1577 AD. It was viewed by people all over Europe, including the famous Danish astronomerTycho Brahe and Turkish astronomer Taqi ad-Din. From his observations of the comet, Brahe was able to discover that comets and similar objects travel above the Earth's atmosphere. The best fit using JPL Horizons suggests that the comet is currently about 320AU from the Sun (based on 24 of Brahe's observations spanning 74 days from 13 November 1577 to 26 January 1578).
Observations by Brahe and others
Tycho Brahe, who is said to have first viewed the comet slightly before sunset on November 13 after having returned from a day of fishing, was the most distinguished observer and documenter of the comet's passing.
Sketches found in one of Brahe's notebooks seem to indicate that the comet may have travelled close to Venus. These sketches depict the Earth at the centre of the Solar System, with the Sun and moon in orbit and the other planets revolving around the Sun, a model that has since been displaced by heliocentricity.
Despite these misconceptions on Brahe's part, Brahe left behind thousands of very precise measurements he made of the comet's path, and these findings contributed to Johannes Kepler's theorising of the laws of planetary motion and realisation that the planets moved in elliptical orbits. Kepler, who was Brahe's assistant during his time in Prague, believed that the comet's behavior and existence was proof enough to displace the theory of celestial spheres, although this view turned out to be overly optimistic about the pace of change.
cerevisiae from Bohemia with the Bavarian yeast Saccharomyces eubayanus in Munich at the start of the 17th century gave rise to the first lager yeast strain. At one time, most Bavarian beers were as dark as this one.
cerevisiae from Bohemia with the Bavarian yeast Saccharomyces eubayanus in Munich at the start of the 17th century gave rise to the first lager yeast strain ... This resulted in a loss of income to the Bavarian nobility who controlled brewing.
To limit the blow to the economy from these imports, Bavarian ruler Wilhelm IV gave BaronHans VI von Degenberg a special privilege to brew and sell wheat beer in the border regions to Bohemia in 1548.
Even though 16th century laws stated that all Bavarian brewers must use bottom fermenting yeast, Hans VI von Degenberg was granted special permission to set up a wheat beer brewery in the small border town of Schwarzach, Bavaria.
