(10199) Chariklo, flowing with life (zen)

(10199) Chariklo is a centaur (Saturn-Uranus) discovered in February of 1997. There are prediscovery images back to January of 1996, December of 1995, October of 1989 and November of 1988. It was oficially named in September of 1999.

It reached the perihelion in February of 2004 (also in March of 1941). It reached the aphelion in August of 1972 (also in September of 1909).

The orbit is between Saturn ans Uranus. It has a perihelion of 13.09 AU and an aphelion of 18.54 AU. The semimajor axis is at 15.82 AU. It has an orbital period of 62 years and 340 days. It has an inclination of 23.4º ((bi)untrigintile@23º14', 0º09' orb; quincile 24º, 0º37' orb). It has a diameter of 260 km.

Orbital resonance:
4:3 with Uranus (99.9)
21:8 with Neptune (99.8)


Greek mythology

Athenea was bathing in a spring with the nymph Chariklo, who was a particular friend of hers. When the young Teiresias (son of Chariklo), who was hunting on the mountain with his dogs, happened to come to the spring to quench his thirst, he accidentally saw Athenea naked. She blinded him right away (because of the divine law: if a mortal sees a immortal naked with out his agreement, he will be deprived of his eyesight forever). Chariklo cried out in reproach and distress. When she asked her to restore his sight, she was unable to do so, but compensated him instead by enabling him to understand the language of birds.

(10199) Chariklo walks the path of zen: accepts and interacts with everything that appears, adapting and flowing with life, like in "The Alchemist", an allegorical novel by Paulo Coelho first published in 1988; or in the movie "Titanic" (1997).

The innocence that comes from a deep experience of life is childlike, but not childish. The innocence of children is beautiful, but ignorant. It will be replaced by mistrust and doubt as the child grows and learns that the world can be a dangerous and threatening place. But the innocence of a life lived fully has a quality of wisdom and acceptance of the ever-changing wonder of life. (Osho-Zen Tarot, 1994)

Paulo Coelho, author of the book "The Alchemist" (1988), has Chariklo in Scorpio (7th Moon-Node House) in conjunction with Jupiter; in binobile with Venus in Leo (10th Moon-Node House); and sextile with the Black Moon in Capricorn (5th Moon-Node House), which is in novile with the Moon.

Michael J. Fox, actor in the movies "Back to the Future" (1985, 1989, 1990), has Chariklo in Aquarius (7th Moon-Node House) in trine with the Crossing Point of Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope) in Gemini (3rd Moon-Node House), which is in conjunction with the Sun and in sextile with Mars in Leo (1st Moon-Node House).

(38083) Rhadamanthus, get the truth told

(38083) Rhadamanthus is a Kuiper belt object discovered in April of 1999. The orbit is between Neptune and the Kuiper belt. It has a perihelion of 33.2 AU and an aphelion of 45.1 AU. It has an inclination of 12.7º. It has a diameter of about 200 km.

 
Greek mythology

Rhadamanthus was a judge of the underworld.
 
From a symbolic point of view, underworld means "after death", which implies that Rhadamanthus is oriented to cases that were closed during life or never opened, like in the Japanese anime "Judge (Yami No Shihookan) " (1991).
 
The main theme of (38083) Rhadamanthus is to obtain the truth about something left in the past, like at the beginning of the movie "The Matrix" (1999), or "Sixth Sense" (1999).


Interviews and interrogatories

To identify with the other person and understand their experiences, (38083) Rhadamanthus follows a very structured and sophisticated procedure, which allows him to weigh the relevance of the information he obtains during the interview.

In other words, (38083) Rhadamanthus is an expert in interrogating difficult subjects.

(49036) Pelion, areas of hidden dangers

(49036) Pelion is a centaur discovered in August of 1998.

It reached the perihelion in November of 1992 (also in June of 1903). It reached the aphelion in February of 1948 (also in September of 1858).
 
The orbit is located in the vicinity of Uranus. It has a perihelion of 17.30 AU and an aphelion of 22.68 AU. The semimajor axis is at 19.99 AU. It has an orbital period of 89 years and 152 days. It has an inclination of 9.4º.

Orbital resonance:
24:13 with Neptune (99.8)
25:9 with Pluto (99.7)
2:15 with Jupiter (99.5)
13:14 with Uranus (98.8)
1:3 with Saturn (98.8)

 
Greek mythology

Pelion was the mountain in Thessaly in which the Centaurs lived, creatures half horse, half human, who were strong, fast and intelligent.

(49036) Pelion combines the fulminating quality of 17 AU with scattered elements, whose identity is not sufficiently clear or there is confusion about the connections between them (orbital piercing from Uranus to Neptune).

(49036) Pelion is related with areas of hidden dangers, such as jellyfish in the sea, spiders in the forest, or infiltrated individuals in urban areas, like in the movies "Anacondas 2: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid" (2004), "Blade" (1998), "Matrix" (1999) or in some episodes of "X-Files" (1992).

(5145) Pholus, integration of fantasy and reality

During the discovery of (5145) Pholus, appeared the movie "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" (1991), were the new terminator (T-1000) could adopt the form of the people he touched. Also, John Connor teaches the terminator (T-800) to be more human (resonance 9:5 with Neptune).

(5145) Pholus has an especial ability for interpreting a role and be involved by a universe of fantasy, like in the movies "The Last Action Hero" (1993) and "Basic Instinct" (1992).

Behavioral magic ("Crash", 2004)

Role-playing games

The first commercially available role-playing game, "Dungeons & Dragons", was published in 1974 by TSR. The popularity increased in the following years with many others role-playing games. During the prediscovery of (5145) Pholus in July of 1977, TSR launched "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons". This ambitious project expanded the rules to a small library of hardcover books.

(10370) Hylonome, reaffirmation of change over a full empathic responsiveness

(10370) Hylonome is a centaur discovered in February of 1995 and named in July of 2000. The orbit is between Uranus and Neptune, with an orbital piercing toward the Kuiper belt. It has a perihelion of 18.8 AU and an aphelion of 31.1 AU. It has an inclination of 4.1º. It has a diameter of about 70 km.


Greek mythology

(10370) Hylonome combines the empathy of Neptune with the suddenness of Uranus in events that include some causal connection of the universe (orbital piercing towar the Kuiper Belt):

Fairest of all the female centaurs in Greek mythology, the beautiful and civilized Hylonome was in love with the handsome Cyllarus, who was accidentally killed by a javelin, thrown at a wedding. On witnessing this, Hylonome threw herself on the javelin and died. 


Uranus-Neptune combination

(10370) Hylonome feels the causal connections of cycles and laws of the universe or the processes of computer and telematics systems (orbital piercing from Neptune toward the Kuiper belt), like in the movies "Crimson Tide" (1995) and "Apollo 13 "; and It is very aware of the effect that sudden events can have in others (Uranus-Neptune combination), like in the movie "While You Were Sleeping" (1995).

(10370) Hylonome is related wih the induction of changes or revolutions, which are the long-term outcome of a process in which the chaos and instability are increased progressively until a discontinuous change is produced through an opposition or a confrontation in which the change or revolution is reaffirmed over a full empathic responsiveness (resonance 2:3 with Uranus; 4:3 with Neptune), like the shout of freedom at the end of the movie "Braveheart" (1995).

(53311) Deucalion, backup support that allows to restore a system after a catastrophic failure

(5331) Deucalion is a classical Kuiper belt object discovered in April of 1999 and named in June of 2003. It has a perihelion of 41.3 AU and an aphelion of 47.1 AU. It has an inclination of 0.4º. It has a diameter of about 210 km.

Deucalion, who reigned over the region of Phthia, had been forewarned of the flood by his father, Prometheus. Deucalion was to build an ark and provision it carefully, so that when the waters receded after nine days, he and his wife Pyrrha, daughter of Epimetheus, were the one surviving pair of humans. Their ark touched solid ground. Once the deluge was over and the couple had given thanks to Zeus, Deucalion consulted an oracle of Themis about how to repopulate the earth. He was told to cover your head and throw the bones of your mother behind your shoulder. Deucalion and Pyrrha understood that "mother" is Gaia, the mother of all living things, and the "bones" to be rocks. They threw the rocks behind their shoulders and the stones formed people. Pyrrha's became women; Deucalion's became men.

 (53311) Deucalion is related with backup support that allows to restore a system after a catastrophic failure, like in the movie "Titan A.E." (2000), were a new planet is created with nuclear technology and the species repopulated by stored samples of DNA; after the Earth was destroyed by the Drej, an alien specie. 

This theme got relevance in "The Ring" (1998), one of the first Japanese terror movies, because those who made a copy of the VHS tape after watching it, did not die.

(7066) Nessus, physical action guided by 'high artificial intelligence'

(7066) Nessus is a centaur discovered in April of 1993. It reached the perihelion in January of 1992. It was oficially named is April of 1997.

The orbit is located between the zone of orbital piercing from Saturn toward Uranus, and the Kuiper belt. It has a perihelion of 11.78 AU and an aphelion of 37.16 AU. The semimajor axis is at 24.47 AU. It has an orbital period of 121 years. It has an inclination of 15.6º. It has a diameter of about 60 km.

Orbital resonance:
15:11 with Neptune (99.8%)
9:13 with Uranus (99.7%)
-
7:3 with Varuna (99.9%)


Integration of scientist and spy

According to dynamical systems theory, all centaurs are chaotic, but (7066) Nessus has one of the lowest Lyapunov exponent, because Saturn and the Kuiper belt are both limit cycle attractors, and the differences are only between the personal-material and the transpersonal-spiritual dimensions.

By the time of the discovery of (7066) Nessus, a few years after the end of the cold war (1990-1991), began a collaboration project between scientists (Saturn) and spies (Kuiper belt), as the military satellites began to be used partially for scientific purposes [MEDEA, Measurements of Earth Data for Environmental Analysis], like studying nature and ecosystems. They are antagonistic, because science requires the publication of the sources for replication of the investigation, something not allowed by the clandestinely of spies. At that time, also started the TV series "X-Files" (1992), where Fox Malder and Dana Scully, from the scientific police, are the investigators of the X-Files (unsolved cases, usually involving paranormal phenomena) and many times they come to meet with the CIA matters.

(7066) Nessus also bring about a collaboration of astrónomers and astrologers in the official naming of astronomical centaurs. (7066) Nessus was the first centaur to be named this way. ("The Naming", Zane B. Stein)


Military activity

(7066) Nessus combines the 'high artificial intelligence' of the Kuiper belt with the 'physical intelligence' of Saturn. This combination is typical of activities were physical action requires complex thinking processes, especially the strategic teamwork coordination, like the cyborg Motoko Kusanagui as the especial forces in the movie "Ghost in the Shell" (1995).
  

(7066) Nessus' drastic actions are performed with firmness, like the crushing crystal in the movie "Perdita Durango" (1997).
