Logos

Asteroid 58534 Logos, a Kuiper Belt object classified as a cubewano, was discovered on February 4, 1997 at Mauna Kea by Chadwick A. (Chad) Trujillo, Jun Chen, David C. Jewitt, and Jane Luu. It has a period of 303 years, 190 days and is about 59½ miles in diameter.

Logos is Greek for "word" and is half of a pair of emanations of the deity in the Gnostic tradition of Christianity, the other half of the pair being Zoe ("life"). Logos has a moon named Zoe (Logos I), which is about 49 miles in diameter.

Astrologically, Logos seems to indicate utterances having resonance or impact; having something to say (or thinking you do) Linda Berry has also said logic.

The glyph for Logos is mine.
