Asteroids Related to the Night

For those in love with the Moon and those who find comfort in the dark of the night. 🌙

1298, 3908, 658, 69, 714, 8962, 713, 105, 78, 580

100, 3271

Nocturna 1298

Meaning nightly

Think of the word nocturnal, meaning active at night

I have Nocturna conjunct NN and Chiron. I am for sure nocturnal. I focus better and am more creative at night. I don't think I slept early, even as a child.

Nyx 3908

Named after Nyx, the Greek goddess of the night

Born from Chaos, Nyx gave birth to many gods and goddesses related to daytime, nighttime, light, and darkness.

Asteria 658

Named after Asteria, the Titaness

Her name means of the stars, starry one

Known for being one of Zeus' conquests, she became a bird and then an island. As an island, she saves her sister Leto after Leto is impregnated by Zeus and cannot find a safe haven due to Hera's wrath

Hesperia 69

Named after the Hesperides in Greek mythology

Hesperides are the nymphs of the evening and the golden light of sunsets

They tend the garden and sing

Ulula 714

Named after the genus of owls

Owls are nocturnal birds, hunters, and symbols of wisdom in Western culture.

In African and Native American cultures, owls are symbols of death.

In Asian cultures, owls are symbols of good luck.

Noctua 8962

Named after a species of owl called Athene noctua or Little Owl (owl of Athena, owl of Minerva)

Commemorates Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, and handicraft

Luscinia 713

Named after the genus of nightingales

Known for their singing and frequently used in literature and other works of art

Sing both day and night; songstresses of the night.

Artemis 105, Diana 78

Named after Artemis, the Greek goddess of the Moon, the hunt, animals, wilderness, and children, or Diana, her Roman counterpart

Her twin is Apollo 1862, who is associated with the Sun

Artemis is also associated with the menstrual cycle and childbirth

I have Artemis conjunct my Moon. Still trying to figure out if this has been expressed in an obvious way in my life yet...caring for animals, children...

Selene 580

Named after Selene, the Greek personification of the Moon

Means light, brightness, gleam

Drives a chariot across the skies to bring the night

Her brother is Helios, the Sun god, who drives a chariot across the sky to bring the day

I have Diana (above) and Selene conjunct with each other and my Neptune and sextile Saturn. Saturn sextile Neptune could refer to materialization. My ideas may be best developed at night (?) under the moon (?)

Hekate 100

Named after Hecate, the Greek goddess of crossroads, entryways, magic, witchcraft, the night, and the Moon

She is depicted with three bodies; all-seeing, transitional, liminal

A triple deity associated with the moon (Selene, Luna), hunting (Artemis, Diana), and herself as the underworld

Fall is in the air! I can’t wait for all the beauty that it brings. Crisp morning air and leaf’s showing off their new shades of reds and gold. This flash sheet took a lot of time and attention, but I’m super proud of the progress so far.

Thanks for looking! 🌬️🍁 ✨🍂 ✨🍃

Owls, familiar or otherwise, in an astonishing four flavors! Try rustic Barn, great Horned, minervic Little, or refreshing Snowy!

Had to resize the middle two. Ironically, the little was the largest when the real files were laid next to each other.

19/03/2024-Radipole Lake and Portland

Photos taken in this set are of; views at both on a blustery day, beautiful Purple Sandpipers at Portland it was a pleasure to see this stunning group of birds my first of the year a precious species, Great Black-backed Gull at Portland, bluebells at Radipole perhaps my first of the year and perhaps the earliest I've ever seen this iconic flower in a year, Alexanders and Mute Swan at Radipole, the gorgeous and rustic sight of the Little Owl in the quarry at Portland my first of the year and what an honour to see one here again I love watching this bird, some of my first scurvygrass of the year one of the few flowers braving the headland at Portland Bill and my first cow parsley of the year at Radipole.

I also enjoyed seeing my first Sand Martins - bat like birds flitting through the air it's such a key moment of spring when the hirundines return - and possibly cukooflower of the year at Radipole and my first Razorbills, Shag and Gannet of the year and my first ever yellow field cap mushrooms at Portland as my bird year list soared to 149 the second highest one of my year lists has been at on this date in a year behind last year. Reed Bunting, Mediterranean Gull and Marsh Harrier at Radipole, Rock Pipit and Oystercatcher at Portland and Skylark seen from the car travelling between the two and primroses, bee and turkey tail fungi at Radipole were other highlights on an unforgettable day to bring to end my patch of leave around the weekend. A brilliant and packed few wild days.

Athena

Fourth and last painting of a series with a Greek mythology theme

The little owl as been the symbol of the goddess Athena, and later her Roman counterpart Minerva, for a long time and in some European languages their usual name still reflect that link. In many places in southern Europe, the owl is still considered a symbol of wisdom and knowledge, and people often gift little owl figurines to students for good luck in studies and exams
