(3753) Cruithne, intelligent and powerful phrase

(3753) Cruithne is an aten asteroid in 1:1 resonance with the Earth discovered in October of 1983 and rediscovered in October of 1986 [1983 UH=1986 TO]. There are prediscovery images back to November of 1979, October of 1975 and October of 1973. The dinamics of the orbit was understood in the year 1997, it is between Mercury and Mars, but constantly modified by the gravity of the Earth (co-orbital asteroid). It has a perihelion of 0.48 AU and an aphelion of 1.51 AU. It has an inclination of 19.8º.


Named for the most common term used by the Irish for the Picts--one of the ancient peoples of Scotland. 'Cruithne' was the eponymous ancestor of the Picts, and it was his seven sons who gave their names to the seven divisions of the Pictish Kingdom. 

The word Picts comes from 'picti' in latin meaning 'the painted' or 'the tattooed'; the world could also come from 'peihta' in celtic, previous popular etymology, meaning 'fighter'.
