Peneus, official name of the satellite of the asteroid (41) Daphne

The satellite of the asteroid (41) Daphne was discovered in March 2008 and oficially named Peneus in March 2019.

Peneus, son of the titans Oceanus and Thetis, was a river god in Greek mythology. He had a son and three daughters with the nymph Creusa.

When Eros, god of passionate love, became angry with Apollo for having mocked about his skill with the bow, he shot an arrow to make him fall in love with Daphne, one of Peneus' daughters, knowing in advance that she would reject him. 


When Daphne saw that Apollo was about to reach her, she asked her father for help and he turned her into a laurel tree. For Apollo, that tree was sacred.


Damian Lewis, actor of the TV series "Life" (2007), has Daphne in Virgo (6th Moon-Node House), near the Black Moon; in trine with Saturn in Taurus (10th Moon-Node House).

Sarah Shahi, actress of the TV series "Life" (2007), has Daphne in Leo (1st Moon-Node House), near the opposition with Venus; in trine with Neptune in Sagittarius (9th Moon-Node House); in sextile with Pluto in Libra (11th Moon-Node House); and in semisextile with the Black Moon in Virgo (12th Moon-Node House).

A stellar occultation occurred in January 2007 and September 2008.

It has the following orbital resonances:

Semi-major axis:
  • 1:1 with Hygiea (99.7)
  • 10:13 with Eunomia (99.9)
  • 1:1 with Euphrosyne (99.7)

Perihelion:
  • 3:2 with Interamnia (99.8)

Aphelion:
  • 3:2 with Jupiter (%100.0)


Geographical place

Palma is a port city located on the Island of Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain).

In the 18th century the city recovered the name 'Palma', whose origin is Roman (1st century BC), after the Muslim period ('Madina Mayurqa', from the 10th century) and the Catalan period ('Ciutat de Mallorca', from the 13th century). 

The asteroid (372) Palma was discovered by Auguste Charlois at the end of the 19th century in Nice (France).
