Pluto's Triune Moons

[AquarianEssence]

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere so wanted to make sure you all know, Pluto's 2nd and 3rd Moons have been officially named [glow=red,2,300]Nix and Hydra[/glow], announced on the 21st. The original name was to be spelled Nyx but the IAU changed the spelling to the Egyptian form so as not to be confused with the asteroid already bearing the name. ..."Stern said he wasn't disappointed by the spelling change because the pronunciation and significance of the names were still intact."

"The joke was that they nixed Nyx," Stern said.
This summer, the IAU will debate whether Pluto should remain a planet. The discovery of an icy object slightly larger than Pluto in the Kuiper Belt last year reinvigorated the argument over whether to demote Pluto or add

So now we have a triple goddes guarding the gates of the underworld. Perfect! Perhaps we can more fully enter the realm of the [shadow=red,left,300]hidden to access the mysteries [/shadow]that lie there.

I have a son named Nick, my husband had a crush on Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac. This announcement coincided with a repeat EMG (electrical nerve studies) by another doctor that revealed more mystery still to be unravelled by my. The final result got me another 6 months on restriction so I probably won't be returning from the underworld too soon. Hydra grows two heads when one is cut off. I filed a complaint against their 1st doctor that did an EMG and I saw two doctors this time, ;D one did the EMG, the other addressed the supposed carpel tunnel and added restrictions.

The asteroid Nyx is currently Rx at 25 Libra sextile Pluto conjunct my natal Medusa, then Neptune.

So what in your life this week fits with the official naming?

Well, this didn't peak anyone's interest when I first posted it, but I wanted to make a correction. I believe, after research and the latest news pending from the International Astronomical Union, that Charon, what has been called Pluto's larges Moon is not a satellite at all but a partner to Pluto.

Charon (prounounced shar-n rather than the Greek kar-n or ka-ron) is really a body, probably soon to be designated a planet, that orbits around Pluto with Pluto also orbiting around him. They each have their own gravity and hold each other at a safe distance with this push- pull synergy. The other two bodies are true satellites. For the mythology of Charon, check out wikipedia.

If Charon and Ceres both are promoted to planetary status, I think this will usher in a whole new level of growth for the movement towards human rights and issues of equality of human beings, not just gender. Cere's the mother ,will be given her proper value and respect and Charon, representing Pluto's smaller but equal partner will be recognized as such.

He has been the power behind the throne all this time, unseen. Hades-Pluto, has no inhabitants in his kingdom without Charon's offering and allowance of the souls' passage into Hades kingdom. Now he may be acknowledged for the importance of his role just as the great mother may be honored for hers.

Aqua,

Thanks for bringing this up again--you know, I don't think it's for lack of interest that people don't repond, but lack of time. There are whole threads I don't even breeze through anymore.

You have a great way of explaining things. And interesting because I have been pondering Ceres in my chart lately.

Blessings,
Amoroso

Blessings back, Amoroso. I wasn't offended. Just wanted to add the info incase anyone read without responding or read later.

I am reading and very interested! You are steps ahead of me in my mad rush to keep up and keep everyone informed!~

Blessings and light!!

Hi everyone…

I've been working on some astronomy pages highlighting Michael Brown’s (and team at CalTech) discoveries and now following the IAU's proposal on definition of Planet status.

If anyone is interested, they are linked from my main page, or just go here:

I'll be updated quite frequently!
