Added a bit about the video game with the same name. Optrirominiluikus ( talk) 15:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
I see that the video game, published in 1995 by Aicom, was called "Pulstar". There may be a discrepancy between the name of the first song found on different releases. ( Miimno ( talk) 05:12, 22 October 2010 (UTC))
Earth's albedo has been .30 for as long as it has been measured. See http://www.agu.org/sci_soc/prrl/prrl0113.html. If it were actually .39 the planet would be an ice ball. Dan Pangburn 05:02, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Apparently, it depends on which albedo you consider ("bond" or "geometric"), as discussed here:

It is plausible that Jon Vangelis may have rendered the name with a "t" strictly for artistic reasons (or he didn't know better) since there is no such object called a "pulstar", so named, in any known language, subject to material reference, of course. No explanation is available for either the choice of name by Jon Vangelis or RCA's possible misprint or later publishers correction. Both names persist. "Pulstar" should be considered a portmanteau derived from "pulsar" and "star", since "pulsar" is itself an actual contraction of "pulse" and "star". ( Miimno ( talk) 05:12, 22 October 2010 (UTC))
- His name is not actually Jon Vangelis. I am not aware of a source that states for certain why the track is called "Pulstar". JFW | T@lk 14:25, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
"Alpha" was used in the 1981 XXX movie American Desire.
Could someone with knowledge of the movie explain what XXX is and what put a link to the movie?
