55636, 2002 TX300 Trans-Neptunian and Kuiper belt Object Discovery Chart
The Unnamed Object blog was started at the end of 2023, when it became clear that the other, yet unnamed trans-Neptunian objects were also making interesting aspects worth exploring. This list of the brightest Kuiper belt objects show that there are several objects that have never been discussed on this website. There are a great many objects that have been discovered since around the year 2000, however, by focussing on those who appear the brightest from earth’s point of view, it makes it easier to decide which ones may be ‘more relevant’ than others… Some of these objects on this list, are making interesting aspect patterns at this time, like this grand trine involving Quaoar, a Hammer of Thor apex on Varda, a Hammer of Thor apex on Orcus, and also a Hammer of Thor apex on other unnamed objects like 55637.
Object 55636 was discovered by NEAT at Palimar Mountain Observatory, on 15 October 2002. According to Wikipedia, it is a large member of the Haumea family and is a a classical Kuiper belt object with an absolute magnitude between that of 50000 Quaoar and 20000 Varuna. 2002 TX300 has the most eccentric and inclined orbit of the three. ”2002 TX300 is classified as a classical Kuiper belt object and follows an orbit very similar to that of Haumea: highly inclined (26°) and moderately eccentric (e ~0.12), far from Neptune's perturbations (perihelion at ~37 AU).” The object is so large that precovery images dates back to 1954.
Object (55636) 2002 TX300 was found to be a member of the Haumea family and has a variability in the visual brightness; it is assumed to have an albedo of around 0.7, which would result in a diameter of about 360 kilometres (220 mi). Currently, it seems to be the brightest UNNAMED Kuiper belt object visible from earth’s point of view…
Object (55636) 2002 TX300 Discovery Chart:
The object in its own discovery chart is at 9 degrees Aries conjunct Ceres at 8 degrees Aries, conjunct Albion at 14 degrees Aries and other unnamed object 202421 at 7 degrees Aries. It is exactly opposed to Haumea at 9 degrees Libra and Mercury at 3 degrees Libra. It squares Varuna at 13 degrees Cancer.
The Sabian symbol for object 55636 is at 10 degrees Aries is A teacher gives new symbolic forms to traditional images.
Transiting Object (55636) 2002 TX300:
Transiting object 55636 is currently at 9 degrees Taurus, and squares Varuna and unnamed object 208996 in Leo to make a Hammer of Thor apex on Varda conjunct the Galactic Centre in Sagittarius.
Transiting object 55636 is also making a TNO GRAND TRINE in EARTH element with Quaoar and other unnamed object 55565.
Astromythology?:
The unnamed objects have not been studied in detail, linked to the symbolic language of astromythology, nor given an official name.
The trans-Neptunian and Kuiper Belt objects are said to bring hope, change, expanded thinking, soul purpose, and quantum leaps into our consciousness.
What are KBOs and TNOs?
According to Wikipedia, a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) is any minor planet in the Solar System that orbits the Sun at a greater average distance than Neptune.
Typically, TNOs are further divided into the classical and resonant objects of the Kuiper belt, the scattered disc and detached objects with the sednoids being the most distant ones. As of October 2020, the catalog of minor planets contains 678 numbered and more than 2,000 unnumbered TNOs. The first trans-Neptunian object to be discovered was Pluto in 1930. It took until 1992 to discover a second trans-Neptunian object orbiting the Sun directly, 15760 Albion. The most massive TNO known is Eris, followed by Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Gonggong.
According to Wikipedia, after the discovery of Pluto in 1930, many speculated that it might not be alone. The region now called the Kuiper belt was hypothesised in various forms for decades. It was only in 1992 that the first direct evidence for its existence was found. The number and variety of prior speculations on the nature of the Kuiper belt have led to continued uncertainty as to who deserves credit for first proposing it. Despite many astronomers making valuable contributions, the Kuiper belt was named after Dutch astronomer Gerard Kuiper, although he did not predict its existence.
The most important aspect for the reader to observe in the image below, is the horizontal yellow line titled ECLIPTIC, in the Side View. This is the plane that the inner and outer planets orbit around the sun. This is the general orbit of planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune; on the ecliptic. Pluto is the first TNO that makes a deviation from this norm, which is the normal for the TNOs and a CHARACTERISTIC. Eris for example, makes a very wide inclination of 44 degrees. Sedna, on the other hand, moves in such a wide elliptical orbit that it orbits into the Oort Cloud, which is considered the most distant area of known space. The TNOs have much in common, however, they also have great differences, which is why it has been such a challenge for astronomers to reach a consensus around classifications based on characteristics.
