(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.
