(5335) Damocles, strong determination to back up strange theories

(5335) Damocles is a damocloid asteroid with Kozai resonance (inclination of 62º) discovered in February of 1991. It has a perihelion of 1.6 AU and an aphelion of 22.1 AU. The orbit is between Mars and Uranus. It has a diameter of about 10 km.

After a sudden catastrophe, like the airplane crash in the first episode of the TV series "Lost " (2004) or the burning house example in the book "The Power of Free-Will" (Annie Marquier, 1991), most people breakdown and are unable to do nothing, instead (5335) Damocles reacts with fast and constructive action in extraordinary circumstances (Mars-Uranus combination and high orbital inclination).  


'The Truth Is Out There' (X-Files)

(5335) Damocles also has a strong determination to back up strange theories (high orbital inclination), even when there is not evidence yet, like Fox Malder in the TV series "X-Files" (1992).

"Scoop" (2006)

Woody Allen, actor and filmmaker, has Damocles in Aquarius in opposition to Chariklo in Leo in the Crossing Axis of Age Progression (Moon-Node Horoscope / Basis Horoscope).

(144908) 2004 YH32, hunter of unusual resources

(144908) 2004 YH32  is a centaur with very high orbital inclination (80º) discovered in December of 2004. It has a perihelion of 3.5 AU and an aphelion of 12.8 AU (main asteroid belt-Thereus combination).


(144908) 2004 YH32 combines the living support of the main belt with the hunter quality of Thereus. Because of the high inclination of its orbit, is directed towards very unnusual resources, like in the movies "Anacondas 2: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid" (2004), "National Treasure" (2004) and "Alien vs. Predator" (2004).

(100) Hekate, counsels that assist and console

(100) Hekate is a main belt asteroid in 11:5 resonance with Jupiter discovered in July of 1868. It has a perihelion of 2.6 AU and an aphelion of 3.6 AU. The semimajor axis is at 3.09 AU. There was an important observation in August of 1955 and July of 2003.


Greek mythology

Hekate was a goddess of wichcraft and is shown holding two torches or a key. She is called the "tender-hearted", a euphemism perhaps intended to emphasize her concern with the disappearance of Persephone, when she assisted Demeter with her search for Persephone following her abduction by Hades. Hekate speaked to the grieved Demeter with sweet words suggesting that she should speak to the god of the sun, Helios. Subsequently she became Persephone's companion on her yearly journey to and from the realms of Hades. (Wikipedia)



(100) Hekate gives counsels that assist and console, like in the movies "Noel" (2004) and "Brother Bear" (2003), when Kenai explains to Koda that his mother is not going to come back.


The astronomical observation of (100) Hekate in the year 2003, was overstriked by the discoveries of (136199) Eris and (208996) 2003 AZ84, which bring on very psychological conversations.

(944) Hidalgo, self-defence of nourishment support

(944) Hidalgo is a centaur discovered in October of 1920 and named in September of 1923. It has a perihelion of 2.0 AU and an aphelion of 9.5. Its orbit is between the main asteroids belt and Saturn. It has a diameter of about 40 km.

It is named for Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, who was responsible for declaring Mexico's independence in 1810. German astronomers who were in Mexico to observe a total eclipse on September 10, 1923, had an audience with President Álvaro Obregón. During this meeting, they asked his permission to name the asteroid after Hidalgo y Costilla. (Wikipedia)

'Hidalgo' is an old word in Spanish language, that comes from the set phrase "Hijo de algo", meaning son of someone wealth, but untitled as a noble.


Hacienda system

'Hacienda' is a Spanish word for the buildings construction were live the master of the land, the workers and is storage the tools for agriculture and livestock, and foodstaff. The hacienda system was status oriented, rather than economic oriented.


The movie "The Mark of Zorro" (1920), tells the story of Don Diego de la Vega, a nobleman son of a spanish hacendado that lived in the pueblo of Los Angeles in California at the begining of the nineteen century. Don Diego de la Vega disguises as the Zorro to fight against the injustice of authority and defend the oppressed. 

(944) Hidalgo combines the defence and physical protection quality of Saturn with the nourishment quality of the main belt.

In the year 2010 appeared the Spanish movie "También la luvia (Even the Rain)", inspired by the Cochabamba protests of 2000, also known as the Cochabamba Water War, were a series of protests that took place in Cochabamba, Bolivia's third largest city, between December 1999 and April 2000 in response to the privatisation of the city's municipal water supply company Semapa. The new firm, Aguas del Tunari was required to invest in construction of long-envisioned dam (a priority of Mayor Manfred Reyes Villa) - so they dramatically raised water rates. Protests, largely organized through the Coordinator in Defence of Water and Life, a community coalition, erupted in January, February, and April, culminating in tens of thousands marching downtown and battling police.

(10) Hygiea, cleanliness and sanitation

(10) Hygiea is an asteroid from the main belt discovered in April of 1849. It has a perihelion of 2.8 UA and an aphelion of 3.5 UA. It has a diameter of about 420 km.

In the decade of 1840, just before the asteroid (10) Hygiea was discovered, the doctor Ignác Fülöp Semmelweis, who worked in the Hospice of Vienna, discovered that women admitted who gave birth had many more puerperal fever than those who did in their homes and he measured the mortality: 30%, in relation to 15% in home.


Semmelweis realized that those women who received more visits from doctors and students - many of them recently leaved from the operating room to treat others sick or of the dissection room- illed and died more. And it occurred to him to measure what happened if their companions washed their hands after entering into the room. By forcing the staff to wash their hands, infections were reduced to less than 10% of the admitted.


Greek mythology

Hygieia was the goddess of health, daughter of Asclepius (Aesculapius for the Romans). 

The main theme of (10) Hygiea is cleanliness and sanitation, which is very important in infirmary and cook professions.

(15263) 1992 BF, desiring to be liked by a large group of people

(152563) 1992 BF (152563) 1992 BF is an aten asteroid discovered in January of 1992. There is a prediscovery image back to January of 1953, announced in 2002 and explained by the Yarkovsky effect in 2006.
 

Its orbit is between Mercury-Venus and Earth/Moon-Mars.It has a perihelion of 0.66 AU and an aphelion of 1.15 AU. The semimajor axis is at 0.90 AU. It has an orbital period of 317 days.


At the beginning of the book for children "Little Red Caboose" (Marian Potter, 1953), is described how excited become people near the trails every time the train passes: they stop what they are doing and turn to greet and see the train. But almost everyone returned back to what they were doing before the last wagon passes. That lack of attention was a sad experience for the Little Red Caboose at the bottom of the train (with the security brake).


Things changed after the day that the Little Red Caboose saved the train --when it didn't have enough steam to climb the high mountain--, because everybody saved their best greetings for the end.

"Hannah Montana - The Movie" (2009)

On the one hand, (15263) 1992 BF feels the desire to be liked by a large group of people and adapts easily to the situation and the circumstances (12:17 resonance with Venus). And on the other hand, (15263) 1992 BF has a great ability to communicate approval toward the people admired, just when the opportunity appears (13:6 resonance with Mars).

1997 MD10, be aware of your passion and strengh

1997 MD10 is a damocloid object with Kozai resonance (59º inclination) discovered in September of 1997. It has a perihelion of 1.5 AU and an aphelion of 51.6 AU. Its orbit is between Mars and the outer limit of the Kuiper belt.

1997 MD10 is related with being aware of the martial passion and strength in others as well in oneself. This revelation, usually happends during exceptional circumstances, like in the movie "Titanic" (1997), "Hercules" (1997) and "Red Corner" (1997).

The Spice Girls world phenomenon appeared during the discovery of 1997 MD10, overstriked by the prediscoveries of (137924) 2000 BD19 and  (29981) 1999 TD10:

In June of 1996, the pop girl group "Spice Girls" released the single "Wannabe" in the United Kingdom, five months later in Europe, and at the beginning of the year 1997 in the United States. In seven weeks Spice had sold 1.8 million copies in Britain alone, making the Spice Girls the fastest selling British act since the Beatles. In April of 1997, they wrote their ideology in the book "Girl Power!" (Wikipedia: Spice Girls)
