Club Sport Marítimo MH M known as Marítimo, is a Portuguese sports club founded in Funchal, Madeira, in 1910. Marítimo is best known for its football team playing in Portugal's top-flight competition, the Primeira Liga; the club's reserve team, Marítimo B, compete in the third division. Aside from football, Marítimo have teams in other sports competing in national leagues, such as volleyball, roller hockey and athletics. Marítimo supporters are called Maritimistas; the club has won one major trophy, the Campeonato de Portugal, in 1926. After a long period without being able to participate in national championships, they made their appearance in 1973. Since Marítimo have been present for 40 seasons in Primeira Liga, have been runners-up of the Taça de Portugal twice, runners-up of the Taça da Liga twice, have participated nine times in the UEFA Cup/Europa League; the club have won the II Divisão twice. Marítimo's most recent foray into European competition came in 2012, when they reached the group stage of the Europa League.

The International Federation of Football History and Statistics ranking lists Marítimo as the fifth best Portuguese club of this century, the highest ranking of any club from Madeira. Marítimo was founded on 20 September 1910 as Club Português de Sport Marítimo, by Cândido Fernandes de Gouveia; the club adopted the red and green colours of the new Republican flag of Portugal to distinguish themselves from rivals Club Sports da Madeira, who used the blue and white colours of the old monarchy flag, replaced 15 days earlier. The name Marítimo, meaning Maritime in English, was used to reflect the fact that many of the team's players were workers of the nearby Funchal docks, a prominent employer at the time; the first match for Marítimo was a 2–1 win against Santa Clara, a select team composed of workers of the Western Telegraph Company. Soon after they began playing teams of sailors from visiting British ships. José Rodrigues Barrinhas, an old-fashioned attacking centre-half, made a name for himself in these games and in matches against rivals CS Madeira.

In 1921–22, the Portuguese clubs started playing a new national competition. The Campeonato de Portugal, played on a knock-out-basis, was the first national competition. After competing in the regional championships, the regional winners competed together to pick the Champion of Portugal. Marítimo make 13 appearances in the 17 editions of the competition. After several attempts, the club won the Campeonato de Portugal in 1925–26. In the semi-final against Porto, Marítimo won by 7–1, in the final against Belenenses Marítimo won by 2–0, it was after this great achievement that Marítimo was called "The Greatest of the Islands". In the early 1930s, the club faced a serious financial crisis, although this did not affect its supremacy in the regional competitions. However, in 1934, a new national competition called Primeira Liga was created, in which teams outside the continental territory were excluded. In 1938–39 the teams from the islands started to participate in the Taça de Portugal, after the champions of Madeira and Azores played a qualification round between themselves.

Being excluded from competing in the Primeira Liga, the club continued playing in regional competitions. It was in this period. In 1950, the team made an amazing tour of Africa in which they made some great achievements, raising high the name of the region. After arduous negotiations with the Portuguese Football Federation, it was established that the winner in the regional championship of 1972–73 could play a qualifying round with the last of the II Divisão and the first of the III Divisão. Marítimo started to participate in the national championships, they therefore became the first team from a Portuguese island to participate in the national championship. Maritimo's record of 35 Madeira Championships won between 1916-73 still stands. Marítimo was the first club outside continental territory to gain access to the First League in Portugal. Since the club amassed 37 appearances in the higher tier of Portuguese football – being the 10th club with more appearances in the first league in its 83 editions.

The consequences of long years without being able to compete in national competitions were visible in the beginning. The fact that the island was not able to put teams in national competitions show the discrepancies in terms of infrastructures and organization between the regional and national reality, yet the club in 1976–77 wins the II Divisão and rises to the Portuguese First Division, remaining there for over three seasons. Due to the existing semi-professionalism and some logistical difficulties, the club is relegated to Second Division in 1980–81, rising next season, winning for the second time the II Divisão; however this rises and falls, after two seasons the club return to Primeira Liga in the 1982–83. Since the club remains in the Primeira Liga consolidating is status of a team that compete to achieve a European competition; until the early 1990s, the club's best result was 9th in season 1987–88. The entry of a young coach of 35 years, the ambitious Brazilian Paulo Autuori, allied to greater internal organization, make that in 1991–92 the club reached the 7th place, staying just outside a possible European qualification.

In the 1992–93 season lived up to the times called wonder-trio, betting on Autuori attractive football and with the third best attack of the League. The qualification comes in the final round after a game against Boavista, with victory of Marítimo 3–2. In that same season is i

NGC 1466 is the New General Catalogue designation for a globular cluster in the deep southern constellation of Hydrus. It is located in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way; the object was discovered November 1834 by English astronomer John Herschel. John Dreyer described it as "pF, pS, iR, glbM, *7 f", meaning "pretty faint, pretty small, irregular round a little brighter middle, with a 7th magnitude star nearby"; when using a small telescope, this is a "faint, small and difficult" target with an angular size of 1.9 arc minutes. It has an integrated visual magnitude of 11.4. This cluster has a reddening corrected distance modulus of 18.43±0.15, corresponding to a distance of 48.5 kpc. The cluster has a mass of about 140,000 times the mass of the Sun, it is an old cluster. In photographs, the cluster spans an apparent size of 3.50 arc minutes. The core radius has an angular size of 10.7±0.4 arc seconds, while the half-light radius is 24.3 arc seconds. There are a total of 49 known and one candidate RR Lyrae variable stars in the cluster, as of 2011.

Eight are double-mode RR Lyrae variables. The average periods are 0.335 days for RR Lyrae type c. These are consistent with a classification of Oosterhoff-intermediate for the cluster. Twelve other variables have been identified, including two long-period variables and a Cepheid variable. Media related to NGC 1466 at Wikimedia Commons
