(69230) Hermes, military radiophonic comunications

(69230) Hermes is a binary apollo asteroid discovered in October of 1937 and named in January of 1938, that was lost just after, until its rediscovery in August of 2003. There are prediscovery images back to June of 2002 and September-August of 2001.

Its orbit is between Mercury and the main belt. It has a perihelion of 0.62 AU and an aphelion of 2.68 AU. The semimajor axis is at 1.65 AU (aphelion of Mars). It has a diameter of about 450 + 300 m. It has an inclination of 6.0º. In April of 1942, reached a proximity of only 0.004 AU to Earth.

The companion of (69230) Hermaes was discovered in October of 2003.


Greek mythology

Hermes was the messenger of the gods. He was a deity of wealth, god of trade and travelers, of commerce, manual skill, oratory and eloquence, of thieves and of the wind.

The discovery of (69230) Hermes clashed with the transition from silent movies to sound movies, which resulted in changes in actors selection, since many actors of success in silent film, did not have an appropriate voice for sound movies.

During its rediscovery (August 2003), appeared the application Skipe, that allowed to talk on the phone, free of charge, via the internet with any part of the world.

(69230) Hermes is related with the modulation of voice and expressiveness through comunications by radio, specially the military type.

2013 LH25, teleoperator of customer support

2013 LH25 is an apollo asteroid discovered in June of 2013. The orbit is between Venus and Saturn, with an orbital piercing from Venus toward Mercury. It has a perihelion of 0.75 AU and an aphelion of 8.18 AU.


Queen of ice

In the movie "Frozen" (2013), from very small, Elsa, the eldest daughter of the king, had the natural power of freezing through their hands, and used it to play and have fun with her younger sister, until one day accidentally frozen the head of her sister. Her parents carried her urgently to the shaman of the trolls, who saved her from death as a miracle. From that moment on, her parents decided to hide her powers, they reduce the staff of the castle and their daughters are isolated from the outside world, until that Elsa learn to control their powers. In addition, Elsa by her own will, limited contact with her sister to avoid accidents.

'You can´t marry a man you just met.'

Afrodita's awareness applied to physical security

2013 LH25 combines the awareness of Aphrodite, focused and receptive at the same time (Venus), with the concern for physical security of Saturn.

For example, while the small child plays at the park, his mother can read a book or talk to a friend, but as soon as the child is trying to make a risky move, the attention of his mother will focus on the child, although in a receptive way (Shinoda Bolen, "Goddesses in Everywoman: A New Psychology of Women"; 1984).


Teleoperator of customer support

The communication of 2013 LH25 combines the responsiblility and formality of Saturn, with the cordiality and nice voice of Venus. Besides that, the communication transmits the feeling that the request is running favourably or there are positive expectations about it (semimajor axis in the zone of orbital piercing from Jupiter toward the main belt).

(212) Medea, assistant

(212) Medea is a main belt asteroid discovered in February of 1880. It has a perihelion of 2.79 AU and an aphelion of 3.45 AU. The semimajor axis is at 3.12 AU (near the 11:5 mean motion resonance with Jupiter). It has an inclination of 4.3º. In the year 1987 there was an importan photometric observation.


Greek Mythology

Medea was an enchantress who married Jason and used her magic powers and advice to assist him. Thanks to her, Jason (leader of the Argonauts) obtained the Golden Fleece from her father, King Aeëtes of Colchis.

Zone of proximal development
 
The zone of proximal development is a concept that defined Vygotski in the years just after the discovery of (134340) Pluto and the rediscovery of (212) Medea in 1930, and that had major implications in the evolutionary vision of intelligence from the stand point of the learning potential of the student. It refers to the tasks that a student still cannot do alone, but can be done under the guidance of a professor or a more advanced companion.

The main characteristic of (212) Medea is the combination of two factors: first, the knowledge and experience on the task at hand; and second, a deep knowledge on both ends of the polarity individual work and team work, which allows you to distinguish very clearly when it is really necessary to take part, so that the autonomy is maximized.

(212) Medea is related with the help or assistance in three types of situations: (1) learning or training, (2) evaluation or review, and (3) tasks that can only be done between two people.

(5370) Taranis, threatening material objects

(5370) Taranis is a centaur in 2:1 resonance with Jupiter, discovered in September of 1986. Its orbit is between Earth-Mars and Jupiter. It has a perihelion of 1.21 AU and an aphelion of 5.44 AU. The semimajor axis is at 3.33 AU. It has a diameter of about 3.6 km. It has an inclination of 19.0º.

(5370) Taranis was discovered in the months following the nuclear disaster of Chernobyl, ocurred in April of 1986:

"The Chernobyl disaster is the worst nuclear power plant accident in history in terms of cost and resulting deaths, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event (the maximum classification) on the International Nuclear Event Scale (the other being the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011).

Immediately after the accident, the greater concern focused in the radioactive iodine, with a half-life of eight days. To date 2011, concerns are focused on the contamination of ground with strontium-90 and cesium-137, with half-lives of about 30 years. The highest levels of cesium-137 were found in the superficial layers of the ground, where they are absorbed by plants, insects and fungi, entering in the food chain." (Wikipedia: Chernobyl disaster)

 
Celtic mythology

Taranis was the Gaulish god of thunder (Irish 'torann' and Gallic 'Taran'), especially worshiped in the northwest of the Iberian peninsula (Asturias). His symbols were the wheel and the thunderbolt.

"A yang line develops below two yin lines and presses upward forcibly.  This movement is so violent that it arouses terror. It is symbolized by thunder,  which bursts forth from the earth and by its shock causes fear and trembling." (hexagram 51 of I-Ching)

Threatening material objects

(5370) Taranis is related with threatening material objects, that cause restlessness, fear or terror.

"Open Water" (2004)

Intense faith even in adverse material circumstances

On the other hand, (5370) Taranis is also able to develop a strong faith, that is not supported by any tangible circumstance of the environment, like the leap of faith at the end of the movie "Labyrinth" (1986). 

"When a man has learned within his heart what fear and trembling mean, he is safeguarded against any terror produced by outside influences. Let the thunder roll and spread terror a hundred miles around: he remains so composed and reverent in spirit that the sacrificial rite is not interrupted. This is the spirit that must animate leaders and rulers of men— a profound inner seriousness from which all terrors glance off harmlessly." (Judgement of hexagram 51 of I-Ching)

(306367) Nut, the transition point between the storm and the rainbow

(306367) Nut is an apollo asteroid discovered in October of 1960. However, after its discovery, it was not observed again until September 1999. It was officially named in April 2012.
 
The orbit is between Mercury-Venus and Jupiter, from which it forms an orbital piercing towards the main belt. It has a perihelion of 0.65 AU and an aphelion of 4.41 AU. The semimajor axis is at 2.53 AU. It has an orbital period of 4 years and 10 days. It has an inclination of 3.8º.

Orbital resonance:
7:15 with Mars (%100.0)
-
8:7 with Ceres (%100.0)
9:10 with Vesta (99.9)
13:12 with Juno (99.9)
18:13 with Hygiea (99.9)

 
Egyptian mythology

Nut was the goddess of heaven, creator of the universe and the stars. It was the protector of the dead, who came to her for food and protection; She gave to the deceased the faculty of rebirth.

In the sarcophagi she was represented as protecting the deceased with outstretched wings; or inside it, as a women with their raised arms, helping them to be reborn in the Beyond; or as a naked woman, with the arched body by way of celestial vault, clothed with stars. (Wikipedia)

"Dragon Ball Z Kai" (2009)

(306367) Nut is related with the transition point between stages, when starting new life just after the resolution of a difficult situation, like at the beginning of the manga-anime "Dragon Ball Z Kai" (2009) or at the end of the video games "Metal Gear Solid" (PSX, 1999) and "Tomb Raider" (2013), or in the movies "The Bourne Identity" (2002) and "The Bourne Ultimatum" (2007).

(20461) Dioretsa, select from the inventory

(20461) Dioretsa is a damocloid object discovered in June of 1999. The orbit is between the main asteroids belt and Kuiper belt. It has a perihelion of 2.4 AU and an aphelion of 45.3 AU. There is a prediscovery image back to June of 1998. It has an inclination of 160.4º (180-160.4º=19.6º).

The name of (20461) Dioretsa is the word 'asteroid' spelled backwards to reflect its retrograde movement, which is related with autonomy and self-contained.

With (20461) Dioretsa, the nourishment of the main asteroids belt has to be understood in the context of the high artificial intelligence of the Kuiper belt:

Management of computer RAM memory

"Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of computer data storage. A random-access device allows stored data to be accessed directly in any random order. In contrast, other data storage media such as hard disks, CDs, DVDs and magnetic tape, as well as early primary memory types such as drum memory, read and write data only in a predetermined order, consecutively, because of mechanical design limitations. Therefore, the time to access a given data location varies significantly depending on its physical location." (Wikipedia: Random-access memory)

Although RAM memory is very fast, it has a very limited size, which implies that it has to be priorized.

Choose what to take from your inventory when there are limitations of space   In the video game "Resident Evil" (PSX, 1996), the carrying capacity of the player is limited depending on the character selected; the items that the player does not wish to carry at the moment can be stored into an item box to be retrieved for later use. The video game "Metal Gear Solid" (PSX, 1999), is based in similar use of items.
