Mr. Pluto's neigborhood

[rumpel]

Since we turned into the new century, quite amazing discoveries were made. When we were discussing the demotion of Pluto some time ago, we talked somewhat about Pluto and it's own surrounding underworld.

NASA had sent an exploratory spacecraft called Deep Space 1 in '99, which documentary I watched just last night. Poor baby is now retired since December 2001 and is floating around. They said it was a technological breakthrough in several points one of them being that it was propelled by an Ion engine - non chemical based, the other most impressive was that it was programmed to chart it's own course, as well as "heal" itself.
Just this early morning EST "New Horizon" passed by Jupiter and is on it's way to Pluto

This year the same team from Deep Space are going to launch "Dawn" to visit the asteroids Ceres and Vesta.

In the astro sense I was digging, yet again, and found that currently all these asteroids are clumped up in my empty houses. I checked into the newly discovered bodies and find it simply amazing.

Eris named after the goddess of discord
Eris also has a moon now named Dysnomia after the the daughter of Eris. Dysnomia is known as the spirit of lawlessness.

Quaoar, comes from the creation mythology of the Tongva people, the indigenous inhabitants of what is today the Los Angeles area of Southern California.

Sedna Inuit goddess of the ocean, victimization and betrayal. "At the intermediate level, the energy represented by Sedna both follows Rudhyar’s schema but also departs from it. Rudhyar says that after a period of time or lifetimes, the individual gets fed up with the garbage of the beginners level, and makes a decisions to do whatever is necessary to break free of the recurring garbage. This in turn results in the individual beginning what is a great journey of liberation."

Orcus - pretty much another name for Pluto. A twin? Duality?

I found this site by chance, and think we are in some really fascinating energies. Right up Cassie's karmic astro domain... I think we are moving in warp speed towards deeper understanding of ourselves and the universe.

1. cool rumpel

I'm definitely going to dive into these ephemerides.

Thanks deeply for this thoughtful and wonderfully informative posting as ever.

5. welcome

all these energies have probably always been there but the discovery of them now, seem to indicate that they are now in the forefront and in our collective consciousness.

6. I am glad you all like it

I personally am looking for any hint at what energy exchange is actually happening by and between all these celestial masses.
Particularly in light of us being energy in body and mind also. With all these, who can still say that astro is baloney and there is no exchange or at least a correlated influence with the constellation. :)

All I could find so far was that Jupiter has the biggest magnetosphere reaching some 3 million light years, but Earth is 4 million light years away from Jupiter. However the ripple effect must be there. Jupiter, just like earth is bombarded with the storms of the Sun, and has auroras - just like Earth. Not all of our familiar planets have a magnetosphere.

From the New Horizon Mission:

Due to the Jupiter's strong magnetic field, the planet's magnetosphere fills a vast volume of space—1,000 times the volume of the Sun and a million times the volume of the Earth's magnetosphere. Material escaping from Io's atmosphere becomes ionized, supplying about a ton of plasma (sulfur and oxygen ions plus accompanying electrons) every second.





"Jupiter's aurora is about 103 times as powerful as Earth's, with emissions covering the electromagnetic spectrum (from x-rays to radio), and high spatial and temporal variability. Although there is an incredible amount of data available (from ground-based and space-based observatories, and deep-space missions), many outstanding questions remain."

Pluto

Something deep-seated in human nature calls on us to name things. It's almost as if a thing isn't real, or whole, until we name it — and so, X had to have a name.

Suggestions flooded in: "Zeus," "Cronos," "Lowell," "Minerva." Widow Lowell first liked "Zeus," but later suggested "Percival," then "Lowell," and then, finally, "Constance," her own name.

Dozens of other well-meaning suggestions came pouring in as well. Then there were hundreds, then thousands. But when all was said and done, the moniker for the newly discovered X that the Lowell staff preferred was the one suggested* by 11-year-old Venetia Burney of Oxford, England: Pluto — Pluto, the Greek god of the Underworld; the brother of Jupiter, Neptune, and Juno; and third son of Saturn, who was able, when he wished, to render himself invisible.

Both the American Astronomical Society and the UK's Royal Astronomical Society adopted Pluto as the official name and P-symbol as the official symbol for the new world. P-symbol was Percival Lowell's monogram.

*The French astronomer P. Reynaud had suggested Pluto as the natural mythic name for Lowell's putative Planet X in 1919, but this was not remembered until 1930.

4. Thanks for this information.

I love you guys. You are great researchers - I now have more sites to investigate.

I love the way mythology is coming alive again via Astrology. Perfect.

Thanks. :toast: :toast: :bounce: :bounce: :wow: :wow: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
