67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, personal ideals and values in the handling of objects

67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is a short period comet discovered in September of 1969. It has a perihelion of 1.21 AU and an aphelion of 5.70 AU. The semimajor axis is at 3.45 AU. It has an orbital period of 6 years and 153 days. It has an orbital incination of 3.8º.

In February 1959, a close encounter with Jupiter moved its perihelion inward (close to the Earth-Moon system), where it remains today.

67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is the destination of the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission, launched on 2 March 2004. The Rosetta spacecraft rendezvoused with the comet on 6 August 2014 and entered orbit on 10 September 2014. Rosetta's lander, Philae, is scheduled to land on the comet's surface on 11 November 2014.

67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is related with the self-confidence that arises before starting the physical contact, when the fulfilment of the task is in complete accordance with the personal ideals and values.

"Sleeping Beauty" (1959)

Self-efficacy in the handling of objects

"
The theory suggested by Albert Bandura (1987) proposes that the perception that has a person about her domain on the task will determine her expectations of success, and also its persistence in the implementation and the amount of effort invested in carrying out the task. Self-efficacy is based on different cognitive factors such as the history of the reinforcements, the previous evaluations and information on appropriate strategies. According to this, when students show doubts about their ability, they tend to avoid participating in that task, spend less efforts and do not persist in the face of difficulties, all this causes a lower performance than those students who feel able to cope. But self-efficacy is not the only belief that influences the behavior, the expectations about the results also have an effect on it." (UNED, 2009; "Psicología de la motivación")

(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'.

With (3753) Cruithne, body language acquires great importance. First, through the distance and relative position of the body during the communication; and second, through the physical appearance, which includes the body (tattoos, hair and beard), clothing (corporate or official uniform, for example) and equipment (tools or weapons).

(3753) Cruithne represents the powerful and intelligent phrase, full of will, that inclines the balance of a discussion towards victory, like Luck at the end of the movie "Star Wars. Episode VI - The Return of the Jedi" (1983).

(1685) Toro, 'to take the bull by the horns'

(1685) Toro is an apollo asteroid in 5:8 resonance with the Earth-Moon system (and near the 5:13 resonance with Venus), discovered in July of 1948. Its orbit is between Venus and the main belt. It has a perihelion of 0.8 AU and an aphelion of 2.0 AU. The semimajor axis is at 1.37 AU. There was an important adjustement in the determination of the orbit in July of 1956 and July of 1964.


The name 'Toro' cames from the Spanish word meaning 'bull' and its astrological meaning spring from the phrase 'to take the bull by the horns' (resonance 5:8 with the Earth-Moon system).


(1685) Toro is related with the precaution needed to move delicate or dangerous material objects from one place or position to another, or with the experience of advancing by a dangerous and difficult land (resonance 5:8 with the Earth-Moon system), like in the movie "Red River" (1948), were a stockman and his son move ten thousands heads of stock from Texas to Missouri.


(1685) Toro is also related to changes in position or situation of objects, in which personal criterion is above everything else. The situation remains in abeyance until we know wich is the action that will bring peace and harmony (5:13 resonance with Venus).
