IRISH ASTEROIDS
Happy St. Patrick’s Day plus a Holiday History Tour!
Asteroid 10501 Ardmacha: was given the ancient Gaelic name for the Northern Ireland town of Armagh, said to have been founded by St. Patrick in 445 A.D. Where he set twelve men to work building the town that would come to be known as “the City of Saints and Scholars” and also the home-place of his original cathedral, built in 457 A.D.
Asteroid 10502 ArmaghObs: was named for the Observatory built there in 1790. The city of Armagh has been viewed as an educational centre since the time of Saint Patrick. Rather like a Holiday History Tour compliments of the Cosmos!
The coming month brings even more planetary action with connections to the past. As Transformative Pluto and Structural Saturn both meet the South Node, each for a stint lasting several days.
