The goddess of law and order; the patroness of existing rights.

(Greek mythology) the Titaness who was goddess of justice in ancient mythology

In Greek mythology, Hesiod mentions Themis (Greek: Θέμις) among the six sons and six daughters — of whom Cronus was one — of Gaia and Uranus, that is, of Earth with Sky. Among these Titans of primordial myth, few were venerated at specific sanctuaries in classical times, and Themis was so ancient that the followers of Zeus claimed that it was with him she produced the Three Fates themselves (Hesiod, Theogony, 904). A fragment of Pindar, however, tells that the Moerae were already present at the nuptials of Zeus and Themis, that in fact the Moerae rose with Themis from the springs of Okeanos the encircling World-Ocean and accompanied her up the bright sun-path to meet Zeus at Olympus.

On April 28, 1905, William H. Pickering, who had seven years earlier discovered Phœbe, announced the discovery of a tenth satellite of Saturn, which he promptly named Themis. The photographic plates on which it supposedly appeared, thirteen in all, spanned a period between April 17 and July 8, 1904.

THEMIS is a planned NASA satellite to study substorms, a magnetic phenomenon that intensifies auroras near Earth's poles. The name of the satellite is an acronym for Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms.

The Themis solar power tower was opened by EDF in May 1983 in Targassonne, France (French Cerdagne). It had a power output of 2 MW. Construction started in 1979 for a cost of 300 millions French francs.

Themis will be a thoroughly modern web browser taking advantage of BeOS' features where it can. Currently, it is planned to use OpenSSL, and use the translation kit to view images.

Themis is a new security scanner that search the network hosts for security problems and and present a report.
