Alicanto, Chilean mythology for (474640) 2004 VN112

On May, 14, 2021, the object 2004 VN112 was officially named (474640) Alicanto.
 
 
"The Alicanto is a Chilean mythological bird of the Atacama Desert whose wings shine at night with beautiful, metallic colors. A miner who follows it can find rich mineral outcrops or treasures, but if the Alicanto discovers that it's being followed, it will turn off the shining of its wings and scuttle away in the darkness of the night. [Ref: WGSBN Bull. 1, #1, 30]"
 

(474640) Alicanto is a detached extreme transneptunian object (Kuiper belt I) discovered in November of 2004. There is a prediscovery image back to September of 2000.

It reached the perihelion in June of 2009.

The orbit is located between the Kuiper belt and the inner Oort cloud. It has a perihelion of 47.29 AU and an aphelion of 590.64 AU. The semimajor axis is at 318.97 AU. It has an orbital period of 5696 years and 271 days. It has an inclination of 25.6º (semiseptile 25º43 [=(tri)septile 154º17' > 0º Libra], 0º07' orb). It has a diameter of about 315 km.

It has the following orbital resonances:
 
"Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas" (2003)
Semi-major axis:
1:23 with Pluto (%100.0)
-
1:21 with Salacia (99.9)
 
Perihelion:
1:11 with Saturn (99.6)
1:2 with Neptune (98.7)
-
5:6 with Salacia (%100.0)
12:7 with Eris (99.8)

 
The object Alicanto combines the infiltration ability of twotinos (perihelion in 1:2 resonance with Neptune) and the capacity to make drastic decisions based on priority criteria according on the severity of the consequences (perihelion in 1:11 resonance with Saturn), with the spiritual intelligence of objects of the Oort cloud (aphelion).
 
"Gone in 60 Seconds" (2000)

The purpose of the object Alicanto is to protect life, ensuring its development and evolution in the right direction. For this, it is capable of making very difficult decisions --in which in addition to advantages there may be significant disadvantages or risks--, evaluating according to statistical criteria or artificial intelligence algorithms.
 
"I-Robot" (2004)
 
Thanks to its ability to hide its intentions, it is able to do something valuable for others or for itself, even while immersed in circumstances of mass surveillance.
