Rumina, Roman mythology for the object (145451) 2005 RM43

On September 1, 2025, the scattered disc object (145451) 2005 RM43 was officially named (145451) Rumnina.
 
"Rumina is a minor Roman goddess who was invoked as a protector of nursing mothers." (WGSBN Bull. 5, #20, 7) 
 
Rumina was a deity who protected breastfeeding, both in humans and animals.
 
On the banks of the Tiber River, a she-wolf (Lupa) found a beached basket containing the twin babies Romulus and Remus. The she-wolf nursed and cared for them until they were discovered by a shepherd (Faustulus), who raised them as his own sons.
 
 
In the place where the basket was found, a wild fig tree grew, considered sacred to the goddess Rumina, which symbolized the ability to give and sustain life.
 
The most striking feature of this mythology is that the capacity for nursing and care occurs between different species, which aligns with the ability of scattered disc objects with a very high aphelion to understand and interact with different cultures and societies.
 
The discovery of the object Rumina coincided with the Prüm Convention, a treaty signed in May 2005 by Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Spain in the city of Prüm, Germany, which was later joined by other members of the European Union. This treaty outlined the police cooperation measures adopted, such as the exchange of data related to DNA, fingerprints, and vehicle registrations.
 
The prediscoveries of the object Rumina [photographs taken before its discovery], coincide with progress in this area. For example, Europol officially began its operations in July 1999.
 
The first prediscovery of the object Rumnia, wich dates back to November 1976, coincides with the beginning of police cooperation between the member states of the European Community through the 'Trevi Group' network, comprised of representatives from the Ministries of Justice and Interior.

Goibniu, Irish mythology for the object (90568) 2004 GV9

On September 1, 2025, the classical Kuiper belt object (90568) 2004 GV9 was officially named (90568) Goibniu.
 
"Goibniu is the god of metallurgy and hospitality in Irish mythology. He served as the metalsmith for the supernatural Tuatha Dé Danann [the folk of the goddess Danu]." [WGSBN Bull. 5, #20, 7]
 
Thanks to their control of trade routes along the Rhine and Danube, the Celts were the first Central European tribe to experience and benefit from the Iron Age, and they brought their metalworking knowledge to Ireland and other countries in northern and western Europe.
 
Celtic forges produced agricultural tools, horse harnesses, swords, and experimented with alloys. These workshops changed the course of history by manufacturing the first chainmail armor, horseshoes, iron wheel rims, and iron plowshares, among other things.
 
Celtic culture reached Ireland gradually, though primarily as a result of Celtic invasions beginning around 500 BC. The blacksmithing skills of the Celts were complemented by the indigenous Irish metalworking knowledge of the Bronze Age, forming the basis of Celtic-Irish culture between 400 BC and 900 AD.
 
The metalworking process used by Irish artisans involved assembling many different pieces. This required mastery of techniques such as welding and riveting, as well as mechanical joining. Bone and slate diagrams are archaeological evidence indicating that the design and assembly were carefully planned in advance.
 
Goibniu is a classic Kuiper Belt object, associated with the ability to handle a large workload in a short amount of time, thanks to the distribution of tasks across separate units that are executed simultaneously, in parallel. This is what is known in computer science as 'multithreaded processing'.
 
The challenge arises during the integration of the different tasks, since each one is different and therefore takes more or less time to complete. This implies waiting for one, sometimes several or all, of these tasks to finish.
 
This concept of 'waiting' is a critical point in the story of the smith Culann from Irish mythology:
 
"Culann was a smith whose house was guarded by a fierce guard dog. Culann invited Conchobar, King of Ulster, and his retinue to a banquet at his house. On the way, Conchobar saw his young nephew Sétanta playing hurling and was so impressed that he invited him to join him at the banquet. Sétanta told him he would catch up after the game. However, the banquet began, and Culann asked Conchobar if he was expecting anyone else. Conchobar, who had forgotten about Sétanta, replied that he wasn't, and Culann unleashed his guard dog. So when Sétanta arrived, Culann was taken by surprise and had no choice but to kill it in self-defense. Sétanta offered to perform his duties, taking his place until a replacement could be bred. Therefore, he was renamed 'Cú Chulainn', which means 'Culann's hound'." (Goibniu, Wikipedia)

The discovery of the object Goibniu coincided with the appearance of the PS3 video game console processor, made up of a CPU that managed 7 separate processing units in parallel; and also with the first dual-core PC CPUs.
 
 
The prediscoveries of the object Goibniu [photographs taken before its discovery], also coincide with advances in that direction. For example, the Intel Pentium processor, which appeared in 1993, had an architecture capable of executing two operations simultaneously in each clock cycle, thanks to its segmentation [pipeline] into two data channels.
 
The first prediscovery of the object Goibniu dates back to 1954, when appeared the first computer built with transistors, instead of vacuum tubes.
 

Giovanni Ribisi, actor of the movie "The Flight of the Phoenix" (2004) and "Avatar" (2009), has Goibniu in Virgo (4th Moon-Node House), in opposition to Jupiter; and in (bi)septile to Mercury-Sun in Sagittarius (12th Moon-Node House).

Uni, Etruscan mythology for the object (55637) 2002 UX25

On September 1, 2025, the classical Kuiper belt object (55637) 2002 UX25 was officially named (55637) Uni.
 
"Uni is the Etruscan goddess of love and fertility. She is one of the three main gods of the pantheon. The satellite (55637) Uni I is named for Uni's husband, the sky god Tinia." (WGSBN Bull. 5, #20, 6) 
 
In Etruscan mythology, Uni was the supreme goddess, equivalent to Hera in Greek mythology and Juno in Roman mythology. With her husband Tinia (equivalent to the Greek Zeus and the Roman Jupiter), Uni conceived Hercle, equivalent to the Greek Heracles and the Roman Hercules.
 

The most relevant aspect of this mythology is the bond between Uni and Tinia. Thus, the proper names Uni and Tinia are less important to its definition than the bond between them. That is, 'wife of Tinia' (= Uni); 'husband of Uni' (= Tinia).

Ritona, Celtic mythology for the object (145452) 2005 RN43

On July 21, 2025, the classical Kuiper belt object (145452) 2005 RN43 was officially named: (145452) Ritona:
 

"Ritona is a goddess of river fords among the Celtic tribe of the Treveri located in the Moselle river valley." [WGSBN Bull. 5, #17, 24]
 
A ford is a shallow, firm-bottomed section of a river, stream, canal, or other body of water, allowing passage on foot, horseback, or in a vehicle. Ritona was the goddess of fords, providing experience and protection when crossing watercourses.
 
Water currents symbolize a tightly knit social group, oriented unidirectionally toward a goal. Crossing the water current at the ford, in a transverse direction, refers to the caution and effort required to resist being carried away by a seemingly weak force, but one that is constantly strengthened.

Achlys, Greek mythology for the plutino (208996) 2003 AZ84

On June 30, 2025, the plutino (208996) 2003 AZ84 was officially named: (208996) Achlys.
 

 
"Achlys is a personification of sorrow and grief described in the Greek epic poem, the Shield of Heracles. It is also used by Homer in the Iliad to describe the mist that covers the eyes of the dying." [WGSBN Bull. 5, #15, 16]
 
This mythology symbolizes the processes of psychological transformation that uncover hidden aspects by the most superficial layers of personality.
 
The plutino Achlys is part of the group of objects with their semi-major axis in 1:1 resonance with the planet Pluto (and therefore, also in 2:3 resonance with the planet Neptune). What distinguishes Achlys from other plutinos is its ability to evolve and develop through various stages that then integrate and unify (perihelion in 4:3 resonance with the planet Pluto); it also has the ability to very gradually redefine its personality (perihelion in 3:1 resonance with the dwarf planet Eris).

Aya, Akkadian mythology for the object (55565) 2002 AW197

On June 30, 2025, the scattered disc object (55565) 2002 AW197 was officially named (55565) Aya:
 

"Aya is the goddess of the dawn in Akkadian mythology. Aya was the consort of the Sun god, Shamash." [WGSBN Bull. 5, #15, 15].
 
"Buduhudug was the mythical mountain where the sun set, the place where Shamash entered Aya, reuniting with her each day after he finished his journey through the sky.

Ninsun, Gilgamesh's mother, during her prayer to Shamash, asks Aya three times to intercede on behalf of her son to guarantee his safety both during the day and the night on his journey to the Land of the Living where he would face the giant Humbaba, guardian of the Cedar Forest. Ninsun makes clear that the optimal time for Aya to supplicate her husband is just after sunset, when he returns home from his daily journey." (Wikipedia)
 
This mythology indicates the importance of choosing the right strategy in each specific case to obtain the expected result.
 
The object Aya has the ability to proceed logically and systematically to create new physical security systems, isolating factors to determine the cause of a problem, methodically testing options, one by one, until a solution is found (semi-major axis in 1:11 resonance with the planet Saturn). To this end, it is capable of learning from mistakes, quickly recognizing the situation (perihelion in 1:9 resonance with the planet Saturn). The object Aya also has the ability to shift paradigms and perceive the situation in a new way, thanks to an inner understanding of coherent facts and circumstances (aphelion in 13:9 resonance with the dwarf planet Eris).
 
Giorgio Nardone, director of the postgraduate school of brief strategic psychotherapy (Arezzo, Italy), has Aya in Cancer (4th Moon-Node House), near the Crossing Point of Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope), in trine with Jupiter-Neptune in Scorpio (12th Moon-Node House), which are in sextile with Pluto in Virgo (2nd Moon-Node House).

Mani, Norse mythology for the object (307261) 2002 MS4

On June 9, 2025, the classical Kuiper belt object (307261) 2002 MS4 was officially named (307261) Mani.

 

"Máni [male character] is a personification of the Moon from Old Norse as described in the Prose Edda. Máni is the son of Mundilfari and the brother of Sól
[female character], the Sun." (WGSBN Bull. 5, #11, 13)
 
In Norse mythology, the gods assigned Máni and Sól (sons of Mundilfari) the task of controlling and directing the Moon and the Sun respectively, avoiding being reached by the wolves Hati and Sköll (eclipsing agents).
 
In this mythology, the sociability of the Moon (astrological meaning) takes on a masculine component, manifesting itself in the form of initiative during social interaction. The wolves, following behind, symbolize social integration and the restructuring of the positions that each member occupies in the social hierarchy. 
 

The classical Kuiper belt object Mani represents the capacity for evolution and adaptation to rapid changes in state in the form of a burst (5:16 resonance with the planet Uranus). It also represents the ability to remain open to understanding others if their attitude and behavior are in line with our values ​​(8:13 resonance with the planet Neptune).
 
The objet Mani has the ability to remain open to facts or information that progressively help defining the quality of the situation or problem (perihelion in 8:3 resonance with the dwarf planet Eris). It also produces events or circumstances that force shortcomings related to identification processes to come to light (perihelion in 4:3 resonance with the objects Haumea-Varuna-Uni).
 
The object Mani is also related to infiltration capabilities (aphelion in 1:2 resonance with the planet Neptune), which require a certain degree of personality sophistication (aphelion in 3:4 resonance with the planet Pluto). It also generates exceptional opportunities in which access is opened to processes or functions that are normally closed or internal (aphelion in 5:6 resonance with object Salacia), which all together make the course of development or the final outcome very difficult to deduce from the outset (aphelion in 5:3 resonance with dwarf planet Gonggong).

Alicanto, Chilean mythology for the object (474640) 2004 VN112

On May, 14, 2021, the inner Oort cloud 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)

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.

ǂKágára, South African mythology for the object (469705) 2005 EF298

On June 16, 2021, the classical Kuiper belt object (469705) 2005 EF298 and its moon, were officially named ǂKágára and ǃHãunu, respectively.
 
"In the mythology of the ǀXam people of the Karoo region of southern Africa, ǂKágára  and ǃHãunu fought an epic battle in the east using thunder and lightning, producing mountainous clouds and rain. The conflict was over ǂKáágára returning his younger sister, ǃHãunu's wife, to their parents. [The primary is being named  ǂKágára and the satellite is being named ǃHãunu.]" [Ref: WGSBN Bulletin 1, #3] 
 
The story, recorded in the 19th century in the now extinct ǀXam language of South Africa, tells the dispute between ǂKágára and his brother-in-law ǃHãunu. When ǂKágára came to fetch his sister and take her to their parents' house, ǃHãunu chased them and began to throw lightning at ǂKá̦gára, but ǂKá̦gára was unhurt and one of the rays bounced backwards, reaching ǃHãunu, who died slowly amidst the shaking of thunder.
 
"Downrange" (2017)

(469705) ǂKágára is a Kuiper belt object III (Kuiper clift III) discovered in March of 2005.

It reached the perihelion in April of 1747 (also in January of 1457). It reached the aphelion in May of 1892 (also in March of 1602).

Its orbit is located in the Kuiper belt. It has a perihelion of 40.00 AU and an aphelion of 47.65 AU. The semimajor axis is at 43.82 AU. It has an orbital period of 290 years and 61 days. It has an inclination of 2.9º. It has a diameter of about 138 + 122 km.
 
The moon of the object ǂKágára was discovered in January 2009 and was announced in the year 2011.
 
From 2015 to 2035, several mutual occultations have occurred and will continue to occur between the object ǂKágára and its moon.

It has the following orbital resonances:

Semi-major axis:

6:7 with Pluto (99.6)
23:12 with Eris (%100.0)
13:23
with Neptune (99.5)

6:7 with Varuna (99.9)
5:3 with Gonggong (99.8)
3:4 with Pluto (99.6)
 
The object ǂKágára is related with karmic invulnerability and instantaneous karmic returns (2:7 resonance with Uranus).
 
James Marsden (Straw Dogs, 2011)
 
The object ǂKágára can solve the difficulties faced, by intuitively knowing the factors that cause blockage and how to deactivate or activate it, causing a sudden change of conditions (2:7 resonance with Uranus). And for that, ǂKágára has the ability to hide personal aspects that may interfere in the process (1:2 resonance with Neptune) and the ability to redefine the situation based on unequivocal evidence (11:5 resonance with Eris). 
 
James Marsden, actor of the movie "Straw Dogs" (2011), has ǂKágára in Cancer (low point) (6th Moon-Node House), trine Pallas in Scorpio (low point) (2nd Moon-Node House) [which it is in square with the Crossing Axis of Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope) in the signs Leo/Aquarius]; and (bi)novile Mercury in Libra (3rd Moon-Node House).

Leleakuhonua, Hawaiian mythology for the sednoid object (541132) 2015 TG387

(541132) Leleakuhonua is a sednoid object discovered in October of 2015. It was officially named on June 3, 2020.

The orbit is located between the nearby area of the scattered disc and the inner Oort cloud. It has a perihelion of 65.04 AU and an aphelion of 1998 AU. The semimajor axis is at 1031 AU. It has an orbital period of 33127 years. It has an inclination of 11.7º (untrigintile@11º37', 0º02' orb; cuartioctile@11º15', 0º24' orb). It has a diameter of about 110 km.

A stellar occultation occurred in October of 2018.

It has the following orbital resonances:


Semi-major axis:
  • 13:25 with the hypothetical 'Planet 9' (99.5)

Perihelion:
  • 4:25 with Uranus (99.9)
  • 9:19 with Pluto (99.7)
  • 6:19 with Neptune (99.5)
  • 1:18 with Saturn (98.9)

 

Hawaiian mythology

Kumulipo, the Hawaiian creation chant, is made up of 2102 chant phrases, which are grouped into 16 chapters, each of which narrates a stage of the development of life on planet Earth, with successive appearances of increasingly complex species in the marine and terrestrial environment, from the first marine algae to the human being; narrating, also, its social, anthropological and religious development.
 


"Leleakuhonua (lele-ā-kū-honua, which means 'fly to land') is a life form mentioned in the Kumulipo:

'Me he manu i ke ala pō`aiapuni lā,
he pa`a mau nō ia i ka hui me kona pūnana i kumu mai ai.'

'Like a bird in a roundabout,
it is always in company with its nest.'


Pacific golden plover (pluvialis fulva)

The name compares the orbit of the astronomical object with the flight of migratory birds, evoking a yearning to be near planet Earth." (MPC 123453)

"Time" (Hans Zimmer; Cyberdesign Remix, 2015)

Migration is a great effort and stress for birds, but the life benefits outweigh the risks.

The object Leleakuhonua combines the spiritual intelligence of the inner Oort cloud --based on protection of life and its proper development-- with the emotional strength of the nearby zone of the scattered disc.

"The Miracle Season" (2018)

(184314) Mbabamwanawaresa is a scattered disc object (very low aphelion II) discovered in March of 2005. It was oficially named on June 3, 2020.

It reached the perihelion in November of 1745 (also in March of 1439). It reached the aphelion in February of 1899 (also in July of 1592).

Its orbit is located between the Kuiper belt and the nearest area of the scattered disc. It has a perihelion of 38.86 AU and an aphelion of 52.07 AU. The semimajor axis is at 45.46 AU. It has an orbital period of 306 years and 220 days. It has an inclination of 5.8º. It has a diameter of about 242 km.

African mythology

"Mbaba Mwana Waresa is a Zulu goddess of rain, agriculture, and the harvest. She is the goddess of rainbows, a symbol of the link between heaven and Earth. She is particularly revered for teaching the people of Southern Africa the art of making beer (Umqombothi)." (MPC 123452)

Mbaba Mwana Waresa lived in the sky, on a cloud in a house adorned with rainbows. While she was blessing the earth for a lot of rain, she played the bongo [African drum], the sound of which came in the form of distant thunders. She was the daughter of Umvelinqangi, god of heaven and the inner light of creation.

She had the ability to shapeshift, that is why she was also known as 'Nomkhubulwane', which means 'she who chooses the status of an animal'.

According to the legend, she was unable to find a suitable match in the heavens, so she descended to the lands of South Africa. During her tour, the sound of Thandiwe's beautiful song immediately captured her interest.


To prove his love, she sent a beautiful woman, while she became an old woman. However, he was not cheated and easily recognized her. The union began a stage of fruitful relationships between heaven and earth.

To help taking out the inner personality, she taught people the art of brewing.

The emotional awareness of the object Mbabamwanawaresa is oriented towards the complexity of the personality, which is based on a wide variety of nuances, which alternate with each other as circumstances require.

The object Mbabamwanawaresa has the ability to constantly perceive details of another person's personality, until an unexpected change occurs in the conception about that person.

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.

G!kun||'homdima, Ju|'hoan mythology for the object (229762) 2007 UK126

On April 6, 2019, the scattered disc object (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.

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.
