Optical illusion

Stereoscopy is a technique that allows to create the illusion of depth in a photograph or movie, by presenting to each eye slightly different images, as it happens during the normal vision of the eye when seeing reality. It was invented by Charles Wheatstone in 1840.  

The discovery of (566) Stereoskopia clashed with the use of astronomical photography to discovery asteroids. It is part of the group of Gestalt asteroids, which were discovered at the beginning of the 20th century.

(566) Stereoskopia is related with the searching of differences between two almost identical images (21:11 resonance with Jupiter; 7:12 resonance with Vesta).

Greek mythology

Amphitrite was a goddess of the sea, salt water and springs of highly mineralized waters. She was the personification of the calm and sunlit aspect of the sea.

The god Poseidon wanted to marry Amphitrite, but she was in great awe of her distinguished suitor, and with grace and celerity, she managed to glide out of his sight, and hid from him in the Atlantic Ocean. The grieving Poseidon sent a dolphin to look for her and persuade the fair nymph to come back and share his throne. Amphitrite agreed to marry Poseidon and the King of the Deep was so overjoyed at these good tidings that the dolphin was awarded a place in the heavens, where he now forms a well known constellation Delphinus (the Dolphin). (Wikipedia)

The asteroid Amphitrite is related with the evaluation phase of a relationship, in which it is decided whether to start the relationship after a first encounter; or, strengthen it if it was on a superficial level.

Zeus, angered, expelled Ate from Olympus forever, throwing her towards Earth, where she wandered the world, stepping on the heads of human beings instead of the ground, causing enormous chaos.

The asteroid Ate is related with fumigation of crops by means of spray equipment or disinfection of surfaces by means of spray cans (4:3 resonance with Hygiea).

Greek mythology

Clotho and her sisters (Lachesis and Atropos), formed the group of Three Moiras, responsible for controlling the birth and death of each individual human being through the thread of life: Clotho manufactured the thread from textile fiber, Lachesis determined its length, and Atropos cut the thread.

The asteroid Klotho is related with the ability to finish what is started, fulfilling until the date indicated in the contract or until the completion of the task specified in the agreement.

Greg Kinnear, actor of the movie "Little Miss Sunshine" (2006), has Klotho in Cancer (1st Moon-Node House) in golden aspect GA1@137º30' with the Crossing Point of the Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope) in Scorpio (8th Moon-Node House).

Dustin Hoffman, actor of the movie "Straw Dogs" (1971), has Klotho in Leo (4th Moon-Node House) in conjunction with the Sun; and in semisextile with the Moon and Neptune in Virgo (3rd Moon-Node House).

Celtic literature

Excalibur was the name of the legendary sword of King Arthur. The sword was magically embedded in a rock with an inscription that announced that whoever managed to extract it would become king. Despite the efforts, nobody managed to extract it. When everyone had given it as impossible, Arthur, being very young, managed to get it out almost effortlessly.

(9499) Excalibur is related with the interaction moments were a demonstration of masculine strength is shown (8:3 resonance with Mars), like in the movies "Straw Dogs" (2011) and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes "(2011); or in the movie "Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981), with the typical humor of the '80s.

Geographical location

Pola is the Roman name for Pula, a coastal city located on the Istrian peninsula in northwestern Croatia.

The city stands out for having a very large and excellently preserved Roman amphitheater, used by the Roman civilization for fighting shows of beasts and gladiators.

The asteroid Polana combines the opposition quality of the number 2 with the fight and escape capacity of Mars, along with a great ability to focus on key points (Vesta).
