Many of us know that Maori belief in makutu is a serious matter, that if a native believes that he has been bewitched then there is little hope of his surviving, he will, page 140 as it were, kill himself, will himself to death. 16, 2009, astronomers discovered two moons around the asteroids with the temporary names S 2009 93 1 and S 2009 93 2 from direct imaging with the 10 m Keck II Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

Asteroid Minerva finds its magical weapons in the sky
The International Astronomical Union has chosen the names Aegis and Gorgoneion for the two moons of the asteroid (93) Minerva. My team discovered the small moons in 2009 using the W. M. Keck Telescope and its adaptive optics system. We proposed the names after receiving input from the public.

Astronomer J.C. Watson discovered (93) Minerva, a large 150 km diameter asteroid located in the main belt, on Aug. 24, 1867 and named the body after the Roman equivalent of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom. On Aug. 16, 2009, astronomers discovered two moons around the asteroids with the temporary names S/2009 (93) 1 and S/2009 (93) 2 from direct imaging with the 10 m Keck II Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. A follow-up study published this year in Icarus Journal revealed that the moons are small, with an estimated diameter of 2 to 5 km, and orbit at 375 and 625 km from the primary.
The convention for naming asteroidal moons is to pick a child or close relative of the historical figure after whom the asteroid is named. For example, the moons of the triple main-belt asteroid system (87) Sylvia are named Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome and twin sons of the Rhea Sylvia. Minerva was a virgin goddess who did not have descendants, however, which makes it impossible to follow this rule.
That’s why I asked the public for help naming the moons after announcing their discovery and presenting his analysis of the data at meeting of the European Planetary Science Congress and the Division of Planetary Science in Nantes, France in Oct. 2011.
The decision to crowd-source the names caught the attention of the public, so whenever I had the opportunity I repeated the request when giving presentations to groups of amateur astronomers and in interviews to astronomy magazines. Over the following year, I received a lot of emails with suggestions. Interestingly, several of them used mythological attributes of the goddess Minerva as potential names for the moons.
Several space aficionados proposed naming the moons after magical weapons used by goddess. Athena was the favorite daughter of Zeus, and that’s why he let her use his insignia, his terrible shield, the aegis, and his devastating weapon, the ray. Gorgoneion was a special apotropaic amulet showing the Gorgon head, and was used as a protective pendant. The Aegis was the shield worn by Athena, bore Medusa’s head, and could paralyze any enemy who looked at it.
We submitted a formal proposal with the names Aegis and Gorgoneion to the International Astronomical Union, which is in charge of naming comets, asteroids and their moons. In Dec. 2013, the names were officially accepted by the organization and published in the Minor Planet Center MPC batch. “S/(93) 1 Aegis” the outer, larger 4 km moonlet, was the first one spotted by the observers. “S/(93) 2 Gorgoneion” orbits closer to the primary and may be smaller (3 km). The pendant is normally smaller than the shield, and held closer—a tool for remembering which moon is Gorgoneion.
It is a great privilege for astronomers to name celestial bodies such as the moons of an asteroid. We wanted to share this privilege with members of the public, who as taxpayers fund our research and consequently play an essential role in it. Plus, it is reassuring to find out through emails sent by people around the world that astronomy gets a lot of attention.
Thanks for my colleagues and co-discoverers Pascal Descamps, Jerome Berthier and Frederic Vachier from IMCCE-Obs de Paris.

The older Tuhoe folk told me that if a learner of black magic simply made gifts to his teacher instead of offering the human sacrifice, then his own spells would never be effective. Tutakangahau explained that a person was slain, hai pupuri i nga korero, to enable the pupil to retain the teachings of the experts. This authority also maintained that to utilise a slave as a human sacrifice would be quite useless, such an act would nullify the powers of all charms etc., acquired by the pupil. Evidently in at least some districts public opinion, or expert opinion, demanded the death of a near relative, and the expert teacher had the privilege of naming the person to be sacrificed. The body of a relative so slain was, of course, buried, not consigned to the family oven.

Reviews for "Get enchanted with our magic candles and receive free shipping"
1. Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars - I was extremely disappointed with my experience with Magic Candle Free Shipping. The candle I ordered arrived two weeks late and was in poor condition - it had a chip on the side and the wick was broken. I reached out to their customer service and they were unhelpful and unsympathetic, offering no solution or refund. I will definitely not be ordering from them again.
2. Mark - 2 out of 5 stars - I had high hopes for Magic Candle Free Shipping, but unfortunately, they fell short. The candle I received smelled nothing like the description and had a cheap, artificial scent to it. Additionally, the promised free shipping took much longer than anticipated, and when I contacted their customer service, they were slow to respond and provided no satisfactory resolution. I would recommend looking elsewhere for your candle needs.
3. Amanda - 3 out of 5 stars - While I didn't have the worst experience with Magic Candle Free Shipping, it certainly wasn't great either. The candle I ordered arrived in decent condition, but it lacked the advertised scent strength, making it underwhelming. Additionally, the shipping took longer than expected, and their customer service was difficult to communicate with. Overall, I was left feeling unimpressed and won't be returning for another purchase.
4. Jason - 2 out of 5 stars - I was excited to try Magic Candle Free Shipping as I'm a candle enthusiast, but their product didn't live up to my expectations. The candle arrived with a damaged jar, which was disappointing. The scent was also weaker than I had hoped for, barely filling the room. Lastly, the free shipping option took over a month to arrive, which is not acceptable in my opinion. I won't be purchasing from them again.
