Hydromedusa Hydromedusa Hy`dro*me*du"sa, n.; pl. Hydromedus[ae]. [NL.
See Hydra, and Medusa.] (Zo["o]l.)
Any medusa or jellyfish which is produced by budding from a
hydroid. They are called also Craspedota, and naked-eyed
medus[ae].
Note: Such medus[ae] are the reproductive zooids or
gonophores, either male or female, of the hydroid from
which they arise, whether they become free or remain
attached to the hydroid colony. They in turn produce
the eggs from which the hydroids are developed. The
name is also applied to other similar medus[ae] which
are not known to bud from a hydroid colony, and even to
some which are known to develop directly from the eggs,
but which in structure agree essentially with those
produced from hydroids. See Hydroidea, and
Gymnoblastea.

Novas (-v[.a]z). [L., fem. sing. of novus new.] (Astron.)
A new star, usually appearing suddenly, shining for a brief
period, and then sinking into obscurity. Such appearances are
supposed to result from cosmic collisions, as of a dark star
with interstellar nebulosities.

No"va Co*ro"n[ae] Bo`re*a"lis[1866];
No"va Cyg"ni[1876];
No"va An*dro"me*d[ae][1885];
No"va Au*ri"g[ae][1891-92];

It was first sighted on February 22, and for one night
(February 23) was the brightest star in the sky. By July
it had almost disappeared, after which faint surrounding
nebulous masses were discovered, apparently moving
radially outward from the star at incredible velocity.
