Arnapkapfaaluk big bad woman was the sea goddess of the Inuit people of Canada s Coronation Gulf area. Although occupying the equivalent position to Sedna mythology Sedna within Inuit mythology , in that she had control of the animals of the seas, she was noticeably different as can be seen by the English language English translation of her name. Arnapkapfaaluk was not the beneficent goddess that Sedna was. Instead, she inspired fear in hunters. Rather than providing the Copper Inuit with the Ringed Seal seals and other marine mammal s, she would withhold them. The breaking of a taboo or other indiscretion would result in an unsuccessful hunt. See also Arnakuagsak Greenland Nerrivik Alaska References Richard Guy Condon Richard G.

Sedna deity Sedna , Tornarsuk and the tornat spirits of animals and natural formations and tupilak souls of dead people live in Adlivun, which is usually described as a frozen wasteland.

Three days of mourning follow, with relatives staying in the deceased s hut with nostrils closed by a piece of caribou skin. After three days, the mourners ritualistically circle the grave three times, promising venison to the spirit, which is then brought when the grave is visited.

Formal minor planet designations are number name combinations overseen by the Minor Planet Center , a branch of the International Astronomical Union IAU . They are used for dwarf planet s and small Solar System body small Solar System bodies such as asteroid s, but not comet s. They are assigned to a body once its orbit is secured, and are unrelated to Provisional designation in astronomy provisional designation s, which are automatically assigned when an object is discovered. The two parts of a formal designation are a number, historically assigned in approximate order of discovery, now assigned only after the orbit is secured, coupled with a name, either the name assigned by the discoverer, or, more commonly, the provisional designation. ref http www.iau.org MINOR PLANETS NAMING.245.0.html IAU FAQ page ref The syntax is code number Name code , for example 90377 Sedna 90377 Sedna or mpl 55636 2002 TX 300 . The parentheses are now often dropped, as in 90377 Sedna , according to the preference of the astronomer or journal. In practice, however, for any reasonably well known object the number is mostly a catalogue entry, and the name or provisional designation is generally used in place of the formal designation 90377 Sedna Sedna , mpl 2002 TX 300 . The convention for satellites of minor planets, such as the formal designation 87 Sylvia I Romulus for the asteroid moon Romulus moon Romulus , is an extension of the Naming of moons Roman numeral designations Roman numeral convention that had been used, on and off, for the moons of the planets since Galileo s time.
