	28978 Ixion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		(28978) Ixion (ik·sye'·un) is a Kuiper belt object discovered on May 22, 2001 with a diameter of < 822 km and a semimajor axis of about 39.5 AU.
		The latest spectroscopy results indicate that the Ixionian surface is a mixture of dark carbon and tholin, which is a heteropolymer formed by irradiation of clathrates of water and organic compounds (such as methane or ethane).
		(28978) Ixion is named after Ixion, a figure from Greek mythology.

	Kuiper Belt Object Found Possibly As Large As Pluto's Moon
		The May 22, 2001, discovery image for the large Kuiper Belt Object 2001 KX76 was produced by combining two exposures from the 4-meter Blanco Telescope at CTIO in such a way that moving objects appear as red-colored pairs of images.
		2001 KX76 is the bright red-cyan pair of dots at the center of the picture.
		The team spotted 2001 KX76 in deep digital images of the southern sky taken with the 4-meter Blanco Telescope at Cerro Tololo on May 22 by James L. Elliot of MIT and Lawrence H. Wasserman of Lowell Observatory.

		However, the age of space probes brought high-resolution images of various solar system bodies, and it became necessary to propose naming standards for the features seen on them.
		Minor planets are initially assigned provisional designations when observed, with names like "2001 KX " (the first part is a year; the second part defines a sequential order of discovery within that year, see provisional designation for details).
		Thus for instance, (28978) 2001 KX is now known as (28978) Ixion, which is often abridged to 28978 Ixion.

		The new data show that 2001 KX76 is about half the size of Pluto (diameter about 2300 km) and this increases the likelihood that there are other bodies still to be discovered in the outer Solar System that are similar in size to Pluto.
		2001 KX76 were quite sparse, so the initial estimates of the size of the new asteroid were very uncertain.
		2001 KX76, the group used "Astrovirtel" to apply automatic search software to scan through "old" photographic plates obtained with various astronomical telescopes, as well as recent CCD observations made with the ESO Wide Field Imager (WFI) at the MPG/ESO 2.2 m telescope on La Silla (Chile).

		Sightings of minor planets (also known as planetoids) such as asteroids and comets are initially assigned provisional designations when observed, with names like "2001 KX76" (the first part is a year; the second part defines a sequential order of discovery within that year, see provisional designation for details).
		If enough sightings are obtained of the same minor planet, sufficient to calculate an orbit, the object is assigned a sequential number, and it becomes known as, for instance, (28978) 2001 KX76.
		Thus for instance, (28978) 2001 KX76 is now known as 28978 Ixion.

		We report the discovery of several objects outside of 48 AU and discuss the evidence for a sharp outer edge to the trans-Neptunian distribution.
		So only a strong change in the magnitude between the V measurements and the Jmeasurement (30 min later) could explain the shape of the spectrum, but further investigation is required to conclude.

		An article is attached to that chart describing the significance of the figure, but it doesn't include mention of a new planet, called Ixion, a "plutino" or Pluto-like body (object 28978, originally 2001 KX76 and now in early Sagittarius).
		We are blessed, for better or worse, to have Ixion working its way across the most sensitive point in the nuclear reaction chart, called the "nuclear axis." When the nuclear axis is hot, nuclear issues are in the news, and they are now and have been recently.
		Those decisions are the foundation for what you're now experiencing, and it would be very helpful if you traced your logic, both emotional and mental, from that time.
