kupier belt

July 15th, 2008

Object originated from outside the solar system

And where is the object heading?

Volatiles tangled in a delightfully incomprehensible dance, balanced, inexorably connected, to wit the salt of Amun.

Fly me to the moon in your rocket airplane..

Kupier

The Kuiper belt (pronounced /ˈkaɪpɚ/, to rhyme with “viper”), sometimes called the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt, is a region of the Solar System beyond the planets extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU) to approximately 55 AU from the Sun. It is similar to the asteroid belt, although it is far larger; 20 times as wide and 20–200 times as massive. Like the asteroid belt, it consists mainly of small bodies (remnants from the Solar System’s formation). It is home to at least two dwarf planets – Pluto and Makemake. But while the asteroid belt is composed primarily of rock and metal, the Kuiper belt objects are composed largely of frozen volatiles (dubbed “ices”), such as methane, ammonia and water.

Amun

Amun (also spelled Amon, Amoun, Amen, and rarely Imen, Greek Ἄμμων Ammon, and Ἅμμων Hammon, reconstructed Egyptian Yamānu) was the name of a deity, in Egyptian mythology, who gradually rose to become one of the most important deities in Ancient Egypt, before fading into obscurity.

Amun’s name is first recorded in Egyptian as ỉmn, meaning “The hidden (one)”. (Hence the connection to the mysterious kupier belt.)
