Neverland

Neverland is asteroid #5405 and also known as 1991 GY. Neverland was discovered by Kushida Yoshio (串田 嘉男) and Muramatsu Osamu (村松 修) at the Yatsugatake South Base Observatory. Neverland’s orbit is characterized by a semi-major axis of 2.66 Astronomical Units, an eccentricity of 0.24, a period of revolution of 1 589 days, and an inclination of 10.4 degrees.

Neverland is named after a fictional land. It is an island from the novels and plays of the Scottish novelist and playwright Sir James Matthew Barrie. They serve as another modern mythological theme. Some pirates, Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and many other mythical creatures live in Neverland.

The map of Neverland resembles the map of a child’s mind, thus is the fictional island Neverland described. It also is described as having no boundaries. So Neverland represents a lack of unnecessary boundaries. Neverland also represents adventures taking place only in fantasy. But Neverland can only become relevant when joined by other asteroids belonging to the same modern mythological theme.
