(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Ascension is one of the great feasts in the Christian liturgical calendar, and refers to the Ascension of Jesus Christ into Heaven forty days after His resurrection from the dead. The event is recorded in the New Testament in Acts chapter 1.Ascension Day is always a Thursday; in some churches it is commemorated on the subsequent Sunday (the Sunday before Pentecost). In some countries (e.g. Scandinavia or Germany) it is a public holiday.
Ascension Island in the southern Atlantic Ocean is so named because it was first recorded on Ascension Day 1503.
Ascension Parish is a parish in Louisiana. (In that state a parish is equivalent to a county).
More generally, an ascension is the act of ascending, usually to a significantly higher personal state, as the ascension of a king to the throne. A physical act of ascending, such as in mountain climbing is more commonly called an ascent.
Mage: The Ascension is a role-playing game.
In astronomy, right ascension is used to describe positions in the sky.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Ascension Island is an island in the South Atlantic Ocean, a dependency of Saint Helena. The United States maintains missile tracking sites on the island. The island served as a refueling station for the British fleet during the Falklands War.The capital is Georgetown.
It is home to Wideawake Airbase, built by the Americans with the intention to land NASA space shuttles. Wideawake is also used by the RAF as a bridge to the Falkland Isles.
In 1982 when Argentine forces invaded the Falklands, Ascension Island proved essential to British forces in their efforts to retake the islands from Argentina. Wideawake airfield became the busiest airport in the world as the RAF flew in supplies to aid the Task Force. A squadron of RAF Harriers was based on the island to repel any possible Argentine attack.
There is no native population in Ascension Island.
It is likely the island was named after the day of its discovery.
