Topic: 1866 Sisyphus

	Existentialism
		In Greek mythology, Sisyphus, who had once deceived the gods and cheated death, was condemned for eternity to roll a stone up a hill.
		Sisyphus is stuck in an eternally pointless task.
		We are no different from Sisyphus; and if his punishment makes the afterlife a hell for him, we are already living in that hell.

		Later came Nye County (1864), Lincoln (1866), Elko and White Pine (1869), Clark (1909), Mineral (1911), Pershing (1919), Carson (1969), and Bullfrog (1987).
		Sisyphus was condemned for past misdeeds to continually roll a large rock to the top of a steep hill, only to see it roll back down and have to re-commence his labor.
		Now, Aberasturi is a genial young man, grandson of a Basque immigrant who did not move to Nevada, but stayed in New York City and became a chef, and he doesn’t appear to have had any past misdeeds.

	(meteorobs) Excerpts from "CCNet 94/2001 - 28 August 2001"
		But 1866 Sisyphus and 2000 WF129 orbit the sun in the inner solar system and are unlikely to be as intrinsically dark as 2001 OG108, Bowell says.
		If the newly discovered asteroid is darker and reflects less light than Sisyphus and 2000 WF129, but appears just as bright, it must be larger.
		Based on its brightness, its current distance, and an expectation of its albedo, Bowell estimates that 2001 OG108 could be as large as 10 miles (15 kilometers).

		Data were obtained with the 1.23m telescope of the German-Spanish Astronomical Centre, Calar Alto; with the 0.60m telescope of the Konkoly Observatory and with the 0.28m telescope of the Szeged Observatory.
		We could determine synodic periods and amplitudes for 5 asteroids, 699: 3.3h, 0.18m; 1866: 2.7h, 0.12m; 1999 JD6: 7.68h, 1.2m ; 2000 GK137: 4.84h, 0.27m; 2000 NM: 9.24h, 0.30m.
		Based on observations taken at different phases, we could infer a phase parameter m of 0.018+/-0.005 for 1865 Cerberus.

		Some can get very close to the Earth, making them a potential threat to our planet (the closer their semi-major axis is to Earth's, the less eccentricity is needed for the orbits to cross).
		The largest known Apollo asteroid is 1866 Sisyphus, with a diameter of about 10 km.

		Machinery, simultaneously with the increasing use of it, in the first decades of this century, appropriated, by degrees, the fabrication of machines proper.
		But it was only during the decade preceding 1866, that the construction of railways and ocean steamers on a stupendous scale called into existence the cyclopean machines now employed in the construction of prime movers.
		The burden of labour, like the rock, keeps ever falling back on the worn-out labourer." [104] At the same time that factory work exhausts the nervous system to the uttermost, it does away with the many-sided play of the muscles, and confiscates every atom of freedom, both in bodily and intellectual activity.
