Orbits with high inclination, getting into the unknown

Orbits with high inclintion over the ecliptic plane, have a quality that does not belong to the 'known world', like exoplanets of other star systems, like the one in the movie "Avatar" (2009), or the depths of the ocean. In general, a high inclination is related with unusual experiences, far away from day to day life.

Examples of objects with high inclination:

• (5335) Damocles, with an inclination of 62º
• (127546) 2002 XU93, with an inclination of 77º
• 2004 XR190, with an inclination of 47º
• 2008 KV42, with an absolute inclination of 76º. 

Mexican mythology

The "God's Eye" (Ojo de Dios) is a ritual tool, magical object and cultural symbol in Mexican mythology. The Huichol call their God's Eye "Sikuli", which means the power to see and understand things unknown.

Pan Gu, Chinese mythology for twotinos

An appropriate official name for a twotino could be Pan Gu in Chinese mythology. Pan Gu was a man with a chisel and a torch. He created the world by separating Earth (yin) from the Sky (yang), that were originally united in a big egg.

Another name could be Olorun in African mythology.

Fractal structures at the edge of chaos

When an archetype emerges in the collective conscious, a fractal structure is created because there is a phase transition between the collective unconscious and the collective conscious.

Self-similarity is a property of fractal structures, that means that the global structure is the same at different scales. For example, studying the solar system and their planets is the same as studying the brain (as above, so below).

When a new archetype emerges in the collective conscious, its quality is present from the personal life of a single individual to groups or collective events. As I wrote in the previous message ("Naming of 2003 UB313 (Eris)"), studying a group of astronomers at a given moment is the same as studying global human activity.

Note: self-similarity is also applied to time dimension in astrology. For example, progressions (a day as a year).

How to use 'NASA HORIZONS Ephemeris' for objects, centaurs and asteroids that are not numbered

The 'NASA HORIZONS Ephemeris' gives the zodiac position in the basis horoscope for objects that are not numbered:

http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi

1. Select 'Target Body', typing the body name without spaces, like '1994TA'. 

2. Change the 'Time Span', adding the time in 24 hour format.

3. Select 'Table Settings'. Removes all the check boxes selected and adds the '31' ('Observer ecliptic lon. & Lat.) to get the longitude and latitude. Optionally add the box '2' ('Apparent RA & DEC') to obtain the right ascension and declination as well.

4. 'Generate Ephemeris'.

Example:

 2009-May-12 17:04      81.1065564  -4.2626825
 2009-May-13 17:04      81.1548190  -4.2605865
 2009-May-14 17:04      81.2034023  -4.2585392
 2009-May-15 17:04      81.2522938  -4.2565409
 2009-May-16 17:04      81.3014822  -4.2545920
 2009-May-17 17:04      81.3509576  -4.2526927 

In this example, the result for the object 1994 TA at 2009-05-12 17:04, is 81.1065564 (in relation to 0º Aries), which means that 1994 TA is at 21º06' Gemini:

 

♈ = 0º; ♉ = 30º; ♊ = 60º; ♋ = 90º; ♌ = 120º; ♍ = 150º; ♎ = 180º; ♏ = 210º; ♐ = 240º; ♑ = 270º; ♒ = 300º; ♓ = 330º. 

 

• 81º is between 60º and 90º => Gemini sign
• 81º - 60º = 21º degrees
• 0.1065564 x 60 = 6' minutes.

 

When the orbit is well known, the object is finally assigned to a permanet number and we can use 'Serennu Ephemeris' or 'True-Node Ephemeris'.

Emotional intelligence of scattered disc objects

When the bestseller "Emotional Intelligence" (Daniel Goleman, 1995) was published, the astronomical "eye" was pointed towards the first SDO discovered (1995 TL8).

The first name assigned to a SDO was Eris, a deity with high social intelligence (Eris selfknowledge allows to make the right choice).

Elements of emotional intelligence and its application in real life. Goleman notes that the problem is not the emotions per se, but their appropriate use in given situations. He quotes Aristotle: 'Anyone can become angry - that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way - this is not easy.'
