mensa 的詞源
mensa(n.)
“Mensa”(桌子),1848年,拉丁語,字面意思是“桌子”,也可以指“飯食、晚餐”,以及“祭壇、祭壇桌”,因此在教堂拉丁語中用於指“教堂祭壇的上部石板”(見 mesa)。大寫的 M- 是英國於1946年成立的一個智商高於148的人的組織的名稱,該組織選擇這個名稱是爲了暗示一個“圓桌”類型的團體。這個星座(1763年)最初被稱爲 Mons Mensae “桌山”。它是天空中最暗淡的星座,沒有一顆星亮度超過5.0。
La Caille, who did so much for our knowledge of the southern heavens, formed the figure from stars under the Greater Cloud, between the poles of the equator and the ecliptic, just north of the polar Octans; the title being suggested by the fact that the Table Mountain, back of Cape Town, "which had witnessed his nightly vigils and daily toils," also was frequently capped by a cloud. [Richard Hinckley Allen, "Star Names and Their Meanings," London: 1899]
La Caille 爲我們瞭解南半球天空做出了很多貢獻,他從大雲霧區的星星中形成了這個圖案,位於赤道和黃道極之間的北極八分儀極地區,標題是由於開普敦背後的桌山“見證了他的夜間警戒和日間勞動”,也經常被雲層覆蓋。[Richard Hinckley Allen,“星名及其含義”,倫敦:1899]
