The English biologist Thomas Henry Huxley coined the word agnostic in , and said "It simply means that a man shall not say he knows or believes that which he has no scientific grounds for professing to know or believe.

It lies to the south of the crater Millikan, and to the northeast of Cantor. Just to the southeast is the smaller Tesla. This large formation is most notable for the extremely battered state of its outer rim. Little or nothing remains of the original rim, so completely has it been eroded and incised by smaller craters. As a result, the crater floor is now surrounded by a ring of irregular peaks and worn crater valleys. This rugged surroundings intrudes only part way into the interior, while the remaining floor is relatively level and in some places gently rolling. The interior is marked only by a multitude of tiny craterlets.
Wells earned the right to have a Moon crater named after him by his well-known science fiction, including the novel The First Men in the Moon.

A 16th-century sculpture representing a succubus, Cambridge. A succubus is a demon in female form, or supernatural entity in folklore traced back to medieval legend , that appears in dreams and takes the form of a woman in order to seduce men, usually through sexual activity.
The male counterpart is the incubus. Religious traditions hold that repeated sexual activity with a succubus may result in the deterioration of health or mental state, or even death. In modern representations, a succubus may or may not appear in dreams and is often depicted as a highly attractive seductress or enchantress; whereas, in the past, succubi were generally depicted as frightening and demonic. Etymology The word is derived from Late Latin succuba "paramour"; from succubare "to lie beneath" sub- "under" and cubare "to lie in bed" ,[1] used to describe the sleeper's position to the supernatural being as well.
The word "succubus" originates from the late 14th century. Tilottama therefore means the being whose smallest particle is the finest or one who is composed of the finest and highest qualities. In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Tilottama is described to have been created by the divine architect Vishwakarma, at Brahma's request, by taking the best quality of everything as the ingredients. She was responsible for bringing about the mutual destruction of the Asuras demons , Sunda and Upasunda.
Even gods like Brahma and Indra are described to be enamoured of Tilottama. While a legend talks about a pre-birth as an ugly widow, another narrates how she was cursed to be born as a Daitya demon princess Usha by sage Durvasa. Moloch[a] is the biblical name of a Canaanite god associated with child sacrifice. The name of this deity is also sometimes spelled Molech, Milcom, or Malcam. The name Moloch results from a dysphemic vocalisation in the Second Temple period of a theonym based on the root mlk, "king".
Rabbinical tradition depicted Moloch as a bronze statue heated with fire into which the victims were thrown. This has been associated with reports by Greco-Roman authors on the child sacrifices in Carthage to Baal Hammon,[1] especially since archaeological excavati Boon is a work of literary satire by H. It purports, however, to be by the fictional character Reginald Bliss, and for some time after publication Wells denied authorship.
Boon is best known for its part in Wells's debate on the nature of literature with Henry James, who is caricatured in the book.
