The asteroid #3908 is named Nyx. This asteroid is of the type V and of the group Amor. Nyx is named after the Greek goddess, who is the night. This means a starless and really dark night, that made even Zeus feel fear. After this goddess Nýx (Νύξ) is also named a natural satellite orbiting Pluto, but because of the name Nyx already existing as the name of an asteroid, the satellite was named in the spelling variant Nix. The Roman name of Nyx is Nox, but this name stays unused in astronomy so far. Although it would really have been more appropriate for a natural satellite orbiting an asteroid, which is named after a Roman god. Nix is Pluto II, also known as S/2005 P 2. Nix is Pluto’s third-largest and, so far currently known, third-closest natural satellite.

Nix was chosen as the name of a satellite of Pluto because in the Greek mythology is Nýx (Νύξ) the mother of Charon. Nýx (Νύξ) has very many children because Nýx (Νύξ) is a primeval goddess. Nýx (Νύξ) is the dark night and was born directly from Chaos. Nýx (Νύξ) is the last primeval deity, that has lend her name to a celestial object. This means the last in the order, which I treated them, not last in any meaningful way. So I’m simply completing another list here, after I’m already through with the Olympians, the Dii Consentes, the centaurs, and the different kinds of Kuiper Belt Objects. Nýx (Νύξ) is hardly of any meaning in the ancient religions or in mythology. She is as a primeval goddess simply a necessary step for filling the universe with the supernatural beings, that are her offspring.

Nyx doesn’t seem to be important in astrology. There isn’t any celestial object named after Erebos (which means darkness), her husband. So she isn’t important in synastry. She could only indicate that something is hidden in a very dark place and perhaps if a night isn’t filled with lights, which could be representatives of feelings like hope then.
