Ouroborus, mythology for classical Kuiper belt objects

The first object to confirm the Kuiper Belt existence was (15760) 1992 QB1 [Albion]. The discoverers of (15760) 1992 QB1 [Albion] wanted to call it Smiley, like the spy of John Le Carre.

According to dynamical systems theory, classical Kuiper belt objects are limit cycle attractors (40 AU).
 
Michael Coleman proposed the mythology of Ouroborus for classical Kuiper belt objects, which is a very appropriated idea, since the 1:22 resonance with Jupiter is located at 40.84 AU.

(612911) 2004 XR190, emotional awareness geared toward new emotional forces

(612911) 2004 XR190 is scattered disc object with Kozai resonance discovered in December of 2004 and nicknamed 'Buffy'. It has an unnusual orbit because of its high inclination with an almost circular orbit. It has a perihelion of 51.4 AU and an aphelion of 63.5 AU. It has an inclination of 46.5º. It has a diameter of about 500 km. 


The object 2004 XR190 is related with discovering its own emotional intelligence: it has an special ability for being aware of its inner emotional states, especially during new experiences, like in the movie "The Island" (2005), when the clones scape to the outside world and discover their own sexuality, or like in the movie "The Incredibles" (Pixar, 2004), when the kids discover its own powers.

(528219) 2008 KV42 [Drac], self-sufficiency

(528219) 2008 KV42, nicknamed 'Drac' (short for Dracula), is a scattered disc object with high orbital inclination, discovered in May of 2008. It has a perihelion of 20.3 AU and an aphelion of 70.6 AU (scattered disc object with low aphelion and Uranus at the perihelion). It has a diameter of about 60 km.

Secret Tarot - 8 coups
It is orbiting the Sun in retrograde (backwards) and almost perpendicular to the ecliptic: inclinaton of 103.5º (180º-103.5º=76.5º).

Its nickname is very appropriated, because 2008 KV42 has inner strength to act alone, without any help from others, like Altair in the PS3 video game "Assassin's Creed" (2007). Jason Bourne or Indiana Jones are also related to 2008 KV42, because in many situation they can not trust anybody. Another example is at the end of the movie "Awake" (2007):

- Clay...
- I'm gonna stay here with you. There's no one left for me out there anyway.
- You don't need anyone else. You do it yourself, Clay. You're strong.

(66652) Borasisi, a confidence game is like putting on a play where everyone knows their part, except for the mark

(66652) Borasisi is a binary classical Kuiper Belt object discovered in September of 1999 and named in September of 2007. It has a perihelion of 40.0 AU and an aphelion of 47.4 AU. It has an inclination of 0.6º. It has a diameter of about 165 km + 135 km.

Observations in November of 2001 suggested a companion, that was discovered in April of 2003 and named Pabu in September of 2007.


Bokononism 

The name comes from Kurt Vonnegut's novel Cat's Cradle (1963): "... wherein Borasisi, the sun, held Pabu, the moon, in his arms, and hoped that Pabu would bear him a fiery child. But poor Pabu gave birth to children that were cold, that did not burn; and Borasisi threw them away in disgust. These were the planets, who circled their terrible father at a safe distance. Then poor Pabu herself was cast away, and she went to live with her favourite child, which was Earth. Earth was Pabu's favourite because it had people on it; and the people looked up at her and loved her and sympathized." 

Bokononism is the fictional religion practiced by many of the characters in Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Cat's Cradle" (1963): "The foundation of Bokononism is that all religion, including Bokononism and all its texts, is formed entirely of lies; however, if you believe and adhere to these lies, you will at least have peace of mind, and perhaps live a good life." 


Planing a confidence game

"A confidence game... is like putting on a play where everyone knows their part. The Inside Man, the Roper, the Shills... Everyone that is, except for the Mark." ("Confidence", 2002)

"The Beach" (1999)

(66652) Borasisi dynamics can also be activated in an amusement park, like in the movie "House on Haunted Hill" (1999), "The Haunting" (1999), "Scooby Doo" (1969), or "The Truman Show" (1998); and in a coin, like in the movie "Confidence" (2002), "Anger Management" (2003), or "The Cider House Rules" (1999) when the title of professional qualification is presented in front of the comite of the orphanage.

(136108) Haumea, emotional awareness geared toward processes of collective interaction

(136108) Haumea is a scattered disc object discovered in March of 2003. There are prediscovery images back to May-April of 2002, February of 1999, April of 1998, May of 1996, February of 1995, March of 1994, April of 1991, January of 1991 and March of 1955. It reached the perihelion in December of 1848. It was oficially named in September of 2008.

The orbit is between Neptune-Kuiper belt and the beginning of the scattered disc. It has a perihelion of 35.10 AU and an aphelion of 51.51 AU. The semimajor axis is at 43.30 AU. It has an orbital period of 285 years. It has an inclination of  28.1º. It has a diameter of about 1450 km.


In November of 2005, two moon of (136108) Haumea were announced: Hi’iaka, with a diameter of about 320 km, discovered in January of 2005; and Namaka, with a diameter of about 160 km, discovered in June of 2005. In the year 1999, there was an occultation between Haumea and one of its moons (similar to that of Pluto and Charon in the '80s).

Orbital resonance:
11:19 with Neptune (99.8%)
 

(136108) Haumea is the central object in a cloud of Kuiper belt objects that are the pieces of it after a big collision (1995 SM55, 1996 TO66, 2002 TX300, 2003 OP32, 2005 RR43...). This astronomical quality gived her mythological name.

Due to the impact that suffered (136108) Haumea during the collision, its rotating period is only 3.9 hours. The rotation is so fast, that its spherical shape ended up being distorted in an ellipsoid of dimensions 1960 km × 1518 km × 996 km.


 
Hawaiian mythology

Haumea was the goddess of childbirth and fertility. She took many different forms and has experienced many different rebirths. Haumea was the mother of many other deities in Hawaiian mythology who are pieces pulled off of her body.

The "fertility" concept, when applied to (136108) Haumea, means that some paths are easier to walk that others. It depends on how the collective or group forces are acting, mythologically represented by the deities that are part of herself.

In the movie "The Beach" (1999), the community keeps the secret of the place, to avoid massive tourist to came.

The people in our life, environment, society or world around, (1) do not know where we are and what are we doing or can be indifferent to us, in both cases they leave us to move with out interferences; (2) can be against us, making our moves full of obstacles; or (3) can be in the same direction and with the same motives as us, making easier the way.

"In 1993, the then minister of sciences William Waldegrave offer a bottle of champain to anyone who can explain the Higgs Bosson in simple terms. David Miler of University College London came up with one of the wining explanations. It went something like this: "This students from the university of Liverpool, they represent each particles, that represent every corner of the universe. [1] If a popular lecturer walks through the students, they crowd around so as they profound and intelligent questions, this has the effect of slowing him down, he has a quite mass. [2] If a lecturer with exams results walks through, she is going to be absolutely surrounding by students, as they claim for the results, poor path through be very slow, she has a lot of mass. [3] But if an unpopular lecturer were to walk to the crowd, they were ignore her, she will be a mass less particle, like a photon, that can travel unimpeded through the universe at the speed of light. In other words, a fundamental particle gets its mass by interacting with Higgs particles, and massed objects have the strongest interactions."  


In the video games "Metal Gear Solid" (PSX, 1998), "Metal Gear Solid 2: Soons of Liberty" (PS2, 2002) and "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater" (PS2, 2004), Snake, controlled by the player, must move undetected through a hostile, enemy-filled environment. Although Snake acquires various weapons, the emphasis is on using stealth to avoid confrontations, since if a guard discovers Snake, will raise the alarm and the rest of guards will turn up, making impossible to pass through.   


The emotional awareness of (136108) Haumea is geared toward processes of collective interaction, whose elements may be scattered or aligned in a certain direction, but always connected to each other (11:19 resonance with Neptune). At the end of the movie "The Recruit" (2003) there is a amazing twist of this collective forces.


(136108) Haumea has a deep comprehension of which and where are the collective forces, and knows how has to proceed in every situation.

"Assassin's Creed" (PS3, 2007) 

Living according to the spiritual laws is the only way of having peace with others and that is the necessary condition to get the inside peace of oneself.

(13647) Makemake, sustainable development

(136472) Makemake is a Kuiper belt object discovered in March of 2005. It has a perihelion of 38.5 AU and an aphelion of 53.1 AU. It has a diameter of about 1500 km. There is a prediscovery image back to April-February of 2003, April of 2002, February of 1999, March of 1990 and January of 1955.

Orbital resonance:
8:15 with Neptune (99.9%).


Mythology of Makemake

In the mythology of the South Pacific island of Rapa Nui (Eastern Island), Makemake was a sea bird deity carring an egg.

In the movie "Rapa Nui", the Birdman had to race with an egg hold in his head, taking strong
care that will not be broken. That care for growing life is the main theme of (13647) Makemake, like in the movie "The Revenge of the Sith", that appeared in the year 2005, when (13647) Makemake was discovered, or the movie "Kung Fu Panda", that appeared in the year 2008, when (13647) 2005 FY9 was named (13647) Makemake.

Other movies based in the rules for sustainable development are "The Perfect Man" (2005), "Just Friend" (2005), "Sinbad: The Legend of the Seven Seas" (2003) and "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" (2002).


 

Sustainable development

(13647) Makemake is the spiritual knowledge that guarantee the right development of life existence, no matter if that is the whole Earth, a civilization, a teamwork project, a relationship, or a disciple.

(148780) Altjira, fixed points in the timeline

(148780) Altjira is a classical Kuiper belt binary object discovered in October of 2001 and named in August of 2008. It has a perihelion of 41.3 AU and an aphelion of 46.9 AU.  It has a diameter of about 340 km. It has an inclination of 5.2º.

A moon of (148780) Altjira was discovered in March of 2007, with a diameter of about 250 km.


Australian Aboriginal mythology

Altjira is the sky god in Australian Aboriginal mythology. He was the central god of the Dream time. Altjira created the Earth and then retired to the sky. He is depicted as having an emu's feet.


"Dreaming" is also often used to refer to an individual's or group's set of beliefs or spirituality.

"Aboriginals believe in two forms of time; two parallel streams of activity. One is the daily objective activity, the other is an infinite spiritual cycle called the 'dreamtime', more real than reality itself. Whatever happens in the dreamtime establishes the values, symbols, and laws of Aboriginal society. It was believed that some people of unusual spiritual powers had contact with the dreamtime." (Wikipedia: Dreamtime)


Points of singularity in the timeline

The notion and understanding of (148780) Altjira looks towards to unchangeable and fixed points in the timeline, like astrological configurations, climatic, meteorologic and geological accidents, collective events, for example, the discovery of an astronomical object, that mark a before and after in the collective consciousness.

(148780)
Altjira has the ability to understand the abstract language of astrology, prophecy and mythology, like in the movie "10
.000" (2008), "The Mothman Prophecies" (2002), "Joseph: King of Dreams" (2000), the PS3 video game "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" (2007), or "Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981).

C. G. Jung has the Axis of the Crossing Points of the Age Progressions (Moon Node Horoscope / Basis Horoscope) in trine/sextile with Uni in Sagittarius, and in square with Asbolus in Cancer. Altjira in Sagittarius is conjunct Uni and in trine with the Sun in Leo.
