Arrokoth, Powhatan language for the object (486958) 2014 MU69

On November 12, 2019, the classical Kuiper belt object (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). 

Elena Anaya, actress of the movie "Wonder Woman" (2017), has Arrokoth in Scorpio (1st Moon-Node House) in golden aspect GA2@68º45’ with the Crossing Point of Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope) in Capricorn.

(79369) Sila-Nunam, rational analysis at the bifurcation points

(79360) Sila-Nunam is a binary classical Kuiper belt object discovered in February of 1997. It has a perihelion of 43.4 AU and an aphelion of 44.4 AU (near the mean 4:7 resonance). The companion was discovered in October of 2002. They are almost the same size (diameters of 245-230 km). The permanent number was assigned in May of 2004 and it was named in January of 2012.

Sila is the Inuit god of the sky, weather, and life force. Nunam is the Earth goddess, Sila's wife. Nunam created the land animals and the first people of Inuit out of wet sand. Sila breathed life into the Inuit.

The 'Two Paths' tarot spread provides insight into an important decision ahead of you, the possible outcomes, and the forces that draw you towards each of these outcomes. (www.facade.com/tarot/)

The main theme of (79360) Sila-Nunam is rational analysis at the bifurcation points based on the specific advantages, disadvantages and consequences of each option or branch ('high artificial intelligence').

(24835) 1995 SM55, computer simulators

(24835) 1995 SM55 is a classical Kuiper belt object discovered in September of 1995. It has a perihelion of 37.4 AU and an aphelion of 45.9 AU. It has a small diameter (about 175 km). This object is part of the Haumean collisional family. There is a prediscovery image back to September of 1982.

In a video game or a simulator, there are physical rules that determine the movement of the player and rules that determine the limits of the gameplay area. In the movie "Tron" (1982) the light cycles redefine the limits of the gameplay area constantly. In the year 1995 appeared the playstation console, that allowed to develop video games in a 3D gameplay area.

In the movie "Apolo 13" (1995) and "Star Trek" (2009) the computer simulator allows the player try different procedures to find the successful solution.

In the movie "Brave Heart" (1995), th
e king Longshanks makes a demonstration of his future movements with a model of the country.

In the Japanese manga-anime
"Case Closed [Detective Conan] (1994, 1996), the detective Conan reconstructs the crime scene by the evidence he finds. The more ascertain, the more limited the possibilities of what happened, until there is no doubt and the assassin is identified.

The main theme of (24835) 1995 SM55 are simulations (specially computer simulators) that allow scientific demonstrations.

(470308) 2007 JH43, energy and health

It came to perihelion around 1888 (Second Industrial Revolution). There are prediscovery images back to May of 2003, June and May of 2002, April of 1996, March of 1994 and March of 1984.

In the movie "Sunshine" (2007), a group travels to the Sun to throw a nuclear bomb to reactivate the nuclear reaction of the Sun near its end of the life cycle.

The key-word for (470308) 2007 JH43 is 'power supply'. The main theme is energy transformation, distribution, and efficient use of it, like the Scion from Atlantis in the video game "Tomb Raider: Anniversary" (2007), the movie "Speed" (1994) and "Back to the Future" (1985) or the energy cubes at the beginning of the original TV series "Transformers" (1984).

(470308) 2007 JH43 is also related with psychic energy, life and health, like yoga, reiki, meditation, or physical exercises, like in the movies "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" (1984), "The Karate Kid" (1984), "Trainspotting" (1996) and "A Walk to Remember" (2002).

In the video game "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" that appeared in the year 2007, when the protagonist gets shot by the enemy, the screen turns white and grey and appears the heartbeat sound, if the player gets cover, the intense colours of the jungle gradually came back and the heartbeat disappears.

(120347) 2004 SB60 [Salacia], computing firewall

(120347) 2004 SB60 [Salacia] is a classical Kuiper belt object discovered in September of 2004. There is a prediscovery image back to July of 1982. It has a perihelion of 37.4 AU and an aphelion of 46.5 AU. It has an inclination of 23.9º. It has a diameter of about 550km.

A moon of (120347) 2004 SB60 [Salacia], with a diamater of about 290 km, was discovered in July of 2006 [Actaea].

In the year 1982 appeared the movie "Tron", were the main character is a software developer that is blocked by an artificial intelligence called "Master Control Program". In the year 2004, appeared the movie "I-Robot", in which there is an artificial intelligence called "VIKI" that remains the one in "Tron". Also, that year (2004), appeared several movies with the main theme as 'refuse access', like "Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid", "Wicker Park", "The Hunted Mansion" (2003), also "Cars" (Pixar) and "The Departed" in the year 2006 and "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial" in the year 1982.


Computing firewall

A firewall is a device or set of devices designed to permit or deny network transmissions based upon a set of rules and is frequently used to protect networks from unauthorized access while permitting legitimate communications to pass. (Wikipedia: firewall)

"When a Stranger Calls" (2006)

The selective process of (120347) 2004 SB60 [Salacia] works like a computing firewall: not allowing anything that does not match with certain pre-established rules, like preventing access without T-shirt, or with sports clothing and footwear.


In the year 2004 was founded Facebook, a social network whose access to certain areas depends on how is selected the privacy policy: friends, friends of friends; or any person.

Classical Kuiper belt objects are the transpersonal or spiritual dimension of Saturn. As (120347) 2004 SB60 [Salacia], Saturn also imposes limits, but usually in a physical or material way.
