Arrokoth, Powhatan language for (486958) 2014 MU69

On November 12, 2019, (486958) 2014 MU69 was oficially named (486958) Arrokoth.

“'Arrokoth' is the word for 'sky' from the Powhatan language of native people from the Chesapeake Bay region. Institutions in this region played a prominent role in facilitating the discovery and exploration of this ancient and distant object.” (MPC 118222)

The pronunciation and meaning of the word ‘arrokoth’ are not entirely clear, since the language became extinct at the end of the 18th century, before the studies could be completed. The only record of that word was compiled between 1610 and 1611 by the English writer William Strachey, who had a decent ear but bad handwriting, which greatly hindered the reading of his notes. In 1975, Siebert made the comparison with other Algonquian languages to reinterpret Strachey's annotations, deciphering the words ‘arrokoth’ and ‘arrahgwotuwss’, such as ‘sky’ and ‘clouds’ respectively.

Lori Glaze, director of the Division of Planetary Science at NASA, said that the name Arrokoth means the strength and resistance of the Algonquian indigenous people, from which we have inherited the light that guides all those who seek the meaning and understanding of origins of the universe and the celestial connection of humanity.

Binary contact object, in which the two lobes gravitated together, progressively approaching, until they were joined.

(486958) Arrokoth is a classical dwarf object of the Kuiper belt in 5:6 resonance with Pluto, discovered in June 2014.

It reached the perihelion in July of 1757 (also in November of 1459). It reached the aphelion in May of 1906 (also in September of 1608).

The orbit is located at the center of the Kuiper belt. It has a perihelion of 42.72 AU and an aphelion of 46.44 AU. The semimajor axis is at 44.58 AU. It has an orbital period of 297 years and 243 days. It has an inclination of 2.5º. It has a diameter of about only 36 km (22 km + 15 km).


Stellar occultations occurred in June-July 2017 and in August 2018.

Its discovery came during the search for potential candidates to be explored by the New Horizons probe, after finishing their passage through Pluto. Arrokoth was selected as a target in August 2015, reaching it in January 2019.

Astrologically, Arrokoth is related with search processes that require a subsequent, rather laborious, phase of review and evaluation of the results, as happened during its discovery and during the assignment of its official name.

"The Maze Runner" (2014)

James Dashner, author of the novel "The Maze Runner" (2009), has Arrokoth in Scorpio (2nd Moon-Node House), in semisextile with Pallas in Libra (3rd Moon-Node House); in semisquare with Pluto in Libra (3rd Moon-Node House); and in taotile@15º with the Sun-Mercury-Neptune in Sagittarius (2nd Moon-Node House).

(10199) Chariklo, integration of the polarity 'reactivity' / 'proactivity'

To a greater or lesser degree, all astronomical centaurs integrate opposite qualities or very different characteristics from each other; so that they are able to adapt to very different situations, passing from one pole to the other, as circumstances require.

In Chariklo's case, the personality dimension that is integrated are the opposite poles 'reactivity' and 'proactivity':

The reactive personality is one that has a great capacity to face and solve --as far as possible-- unexpected incidents and problems, actively reacting to unforeseen events.

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (2003) [1]

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (2003) [2]

In addition to that, the reactive personality also has a great capacity to understand and accept things that are truly irreversible or cannot be controlled or changed.

"Open Water" (2003)

On the other hand, the proactive personality is able to prevent possible problems or incidents, acting in advance to minimize risks.

On April 6, 2019, (229762) 2007 UK126 was oficially named (229762) G!kun||'homdima [Gkunhomdima].

The Himba of Namibia (South Africa)

"The name G!kun||'homdima is from the Ju|'hoansi (Kung) people of Namibia. G!kun||'homdima is the beautiful aardvark girl of Ju|'hoan mythology, who sometimes appears in the stories of other San peoples as a python or as an elephant. She defends her people and punishes wrongdoers using gamigami spines, a rain-cloud full of hail, and her magical oryx horn.


The name G!kun||'homdima derives from "g!kun", wich means 'aardvark'; and "hom ma" with the feminine suffix "di", wich means 'young woman'. The moon, G!o'e !Hu, is named after G!kun||'homdima's horn: "g!o'e" means 'oryx' and '!hu' means 'horn'. (MPC Archive 112429-112436)

Aardvark

The aardvark is a mainly nocturnal animal, it digs the earth to create a network of burrows that it uses as temporary homes in its territory and a main, deep and extensive burrow (up to about 13 meters) that they use to reproduce. The aardvark changes periodically the configuration of the ramifications of the main burrow and from time to time it moves to create another one.


They are fearful and lonely animals, that go to the surface at night to cover its territory of about 10 to 30 km. To feed himself, he uses his keen sense of smell to track ants and termites. When he discovers an anthill, he digs it quickly, his claws allow him to break the extremely hard bark of ant-hills and termite mounds while closing his nose to prevent dust from entering. Once the external defenses of the insects are demolish, its hard skin protects it from the bites of ants and termites while ingesting an enormous quantity of insects with its long and sticky tongue, up to 30 cm in length. They can eat up to 50,000 insects in one night.

Tribulus terrestris (gamigami)

The spiny plant tribulus terrestris (gamigami), It was used as a homicidal weapon in South Africa (the murderer dipped the fruit with the poisonous juice of Acokanthera and placed them in the path of his victim) and also as a drug in China and India to tone and restore sexual function.
