The name of the ship which carried Jason and his fifty-four companions to Colchis, in quest of the Golden Fleece.
A large constellation in the southern hemisphere, called also Argo Navis.
In modern astronomy it is replaced by its three divisions, Carina, Puppis, and Vela. formerly a large constellation in the southern hemisphere between Canis Major and the Southern Cross
now divided into Carina and Pyxis and Puppis and Vela.

argon
argon.
A substance regarded as an element, contained in the atmosphere and remarkable for its chemical inertness.
A colorless, odorless gas occurring in the air , in volcanic gases, etc.
so named on account of its inertness by Rayleigh and Ramsay, who prepared and examined it in 1894-95.
Symbol, A
at. wt., 39.9.
It has a characteristic spectrum.
No compounds of it are known, but there is physical evidence that its molecule is monatomic.
A colorless, odorless inert gas sometimes used in the spaces between the panes in energy efficient windows This gas is used because it will transfer less heat than air Therefore, it provides additional protection against conduction and convection of heat over conventional double -pane windows.
A colorless, odorless, non-toxic gas used to fill the airspace between panes of Insulating Glass The addition of argon greatly increases the thermal performance of a window by minimizing heat transfer.
Argon is a natural element that comes in a gaseous form It will not react with other elements so it makes a good air-replacement insulator for use in experiments Small amounts of argon exist in the Earth's atmosphere.
An inert gas typically used in deposition systems.
An inert, nontoxic gas used in insulating windows to reduce heat transfer.
A colorless, odorless element Uses include shield in arc welding, furnace brazing, electric and specialized light bulbs and for use in geiger-counting tubes, and lasers Hazard: May cause dizziness and drowsiness and rapid suffocation In liquid form, is extremely cold and may cause frostbite. a nontoxic gas that is heavier than air, therefore it reduces the transfer of heat and cold It also reduces noise.
A gas and air constituent used to fill insulating units to increase thermal performance in windows.
An inert gas that makes up less than one percent of air.
An inert gas used in incandescent and fluorescent lamps Inincandescent lamps it helps to retard evaporation of tungsten filament. a dense gas generally used to insulate drysuit diving Not for breathing purposes.
A gas which, when mixed with mercury, is used in fluorescent lamps and neon tubes In neon tubes, the combination of gases creates a blue color In a neon tube by itself, argon is a pale lavender. an inert gas that makes up less than one percent of air.
