Topic: 3908 Nyx

	Llewellyn Journal - Cosmic Rays of Light For Your Astro-Path
		Nyx in Greek mythology is the goddess who rules and governs the night, and in fact she was one of the first divine beings to have been born from Chaos, her father.
		Nyx was an oracle, and she gave advice from one of her cavern dwellings.
		The asteroid Nyx is number 3908 and where she falls in your chart, by sign and house, can tell you a lot about how you navigate and deal with the shadow side of yourself, and in what areas of your life issues that you find psychologically and emotionally complex may arise.

	[7.09] Radar Observations of Asteroid 3908 Nyx (1980 PA) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		We report Doppler-only (cw) radar observations of near-Earth asteroid Nyx obtained at Arecibo and Goldstone in September and October of 1988.
		Nyx's convex hull is among the least elongated of all near-Earth asteroids for which comparable shape information from radar observations is available.
		If we assume that the projected area of Nyx is the same as that of a sphere with a diameter of 0.9 km, then Nyx's 13 cm radar cross section and absolute magnitude of 17.4 correspond to upper limits on the radar and optical geometric albedos of 0.20 and 0.25.

		Although the members of the team who discovered the moon wanted to call the inner satellite Nyx, that name was already bagged by asteroid 3908.

		Nyx was also the mother of Charon, the sulky old boatman who ferried the dead into Hades.

		Because that rule’s already been broken several times, naming two objects after the same mythological figure (not just two that are spelled similarly).
		For example Pluto’s satellite Nix and the asteroid 3908 Nyx, and Jupiter’s moon Europa and the asteroid 52 Europa, and Jupiter’s moon Ganymede and the asteroid 1036 Ganymed.
