	Comet Phaethon's Ride
		Coincidentally, it was also in 1927 that Leonid Kulik, a Russian Scientist, located the area devastated by the twenty-megaton aerial explosion in 1908 of what was probably a piece of debris long ago separated from the progenitor of the still extant comet, Encke.
		Kugler argued in favor of a Sun-like meteor.
		A problem with using this type phenomenon to explain the origin of Phaethon's ride is the brevity of prelude to an actual impact with a large meteoroid; the object would become visible only after it entered the atmosphere, seconds before it crashed into earth or water.

	Phaethon 3, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
		Some say that Phaethon 3 is the son of Helius (Sun) and the Oceanid Clymene 1; but others affirm that his parents were Clymenus 5 and the Oceanid Merope 4, and that Clymenus 5 was the grandfather of Phaethon 3, being himself the son of Helius.
		It is told that Phaethon 3 and Epaphus 1—son of Io and future king of Egypt—were companions and had the same age, and that it was a discussion between them that made Phaethon 3 investigate the question of his father.
		Phaethon 1, son either of Tithonus 2, or of Cephalus 2, was ravished by Aphrodite, and made a keeper of her shrine.

	Christopher Rouse - Composer - Phaethon
		Helios swore to permit such a demonstration, but he was horrified when Phaethon demanded to be allowed to guide the chariot of the sun across the sky for one day; as Helios had made his oath in the name of the river Styx, Olympian law required that he guarantee his promise.
		Phaethon was commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra, with the generous assistance of Johnson and Higgins, in celebration of the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution.
		Phaethon is dedicated to the memory of Judith Resnik, Gregory Jarvis, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Michael Smith, Francis Scobee, and Christa McAuliffe -- the seven astronauts who lost their lives that morning when they, too, were knocked from the sky.

	PHAETHON : Greek demigod child of the Sun ; mythology ; contellation Auriga
		PHAETHON was a young son of Helios and Klymene who begged his father to let him drive the chariot of the sun.
		Phaethon was memorialised amongst the stars as the Constellation Auriga (the Charioteer), or transformed into the planet Jupiter or Saturn (which was named Phaethon by the Greeks).
		Now inexperienced Phaethon with his fiery whip could be seen flogging the horses’ necks; they went wild shrinking under the goad of their merciless charioteer, and all unwilling they ran away over the limit of their ancient road beyond the mark of the zodiac, expecting a different call from their familiar driver.

	Phaethon
		Phaethon, with his hair on fire, fell headlong, like a shooting star which marks the heavens with its brightness as it falls, and Eridanus, the great river, received him and cooled his burning frame.
		That is the sun may have moved 180° from Scorpius on April 12 3636 BC and earth twisted slightly and flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun perhaps as depicted by this Phaethon legend the counter to the sun miracle perhaps April 12 3637 BC of the Flood.
		Thus Phaethon must most likely be the sun moving 180° east from Scorpius to Taurus March 31 2350 BC to mark the seven years of drought in Egypt as per Joseph's interpretation of Pharaoh Unas' dream matching Egyptian records and the dust layer at the top of Mount Kilimandjaro 2350 BC - 2345 BC.

	Phaethon
		So as Phaethon took the chariot up into the clouds, all was going well for a while, but soon the horses discovered it was a mere boy driving them and they went wild.
		Phaethon couldn't control the horses and the chariot swooped down close to the earth burning cities, and then sailed up and out into outerspace freezing everything.
		The idea that the story of Phaethon could be about a large meteor was actually very new, and right in line with what was happening in scientific and popular literature.

		3200 Phaethon, as the asteroid is now known, is in a highly elliptical 1.4 year orbit that brings it within 0.15 AU (astronomical units) of the Sun.
		Phaethon's spectra look like those of a rocky asteroid, but its orbit is similar to that of a comet.
		Phaethon's thick mantle gives it the outward appearance of an asteroid, but underneath lies the nucleus of a comet.

		Phaethon also doesn't yet handle (but plans to handle) polarization mode dispersion (PMD), a problem caused by the fact that light can travel along slightly different paths inside a fiber, depending on how it bounces around as it travels.
		Phaethon also points to its other assets, which include more than 15 patents from the University of Southern California, thanks to founder Alan Wilner, a professor at USC.

	Phaethon
		One day the fair youth Phaethon, whose father was the sun god, Apollo, was taunted bout his parentage by Epaphus, a youth of the same age whose father was the mighty Zeus.
		But Phaethon, full of confidence, would not change his mind, and the reluctant Apollo had the swift Hours yoke his team, lead the four fire-breathing steeds from the stable, and fasten on the jingling harness.
		Phaethon’s terror mounted as he sighted the Scorpion and the other monstrous beasts sprawling over the face of the high heavens.

	3200 Phaethon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Phaethon's most remarkable distinction is that it approaches the Sun closer than any other numbered asteroid; its perihelion is only 0.140 AU — 58% of Mercury's orbital radius.
		However IAUC 3881 soon after discovery of 3200 Phaethon reported Fred Whipple's observation that "orbital elements of 1983 TB shown on IAUC 3879 are virtually coincident with the mean orbital elements of 19 Geminid meteors photographed with the super-Schmidt meteor cameras".
		Phaethon thus turned out to be the long-sought parent body of the Geminids meteor shower of mid-December.

	Appendix - The Story of Phaethon.
		That Phaethon was currently represented as the son of Aurora, the common story, as related by Ovid, sufficiently proves.
		While Phaethon claimed to be the son of Phoebus, or the sun, he was reproached with being only the son of Merops--i.e., of the mortal husband of his mother Clymene (OVID, Metam.
		Matutinus is evidently just the correlate of Matuta, goddess of the morning; Janus, therefore, as Matutinus, is "Lucifer, son of the morning." But further, Matuta is identified with Ino, after she had plunged into the sea, and had, along with her son Melikerta, been changed into a sea-divinity (Gradus ad Parnassum, sub voce "Ino").

		Phaethon Communications, an innovator in photonics technology, is developing the first family of modules to address optical dispersion at both OC–192 and OC–768.
		Phaethon’s feature-rich dispersion-management modules dramatically reduce the degradation of optical signals, enabling communications network providers to send signals farther, over more channels, and at faster speeds—making possible the all-optical mesh network of tomorrow.
		Phaethon was founded specifically to help network communications providers overcome the major forms of dispersion—chromatic, slope mismatch, and polarization mode—responsible for the performance bottlenecks hindering development of current and future optical networks.
