Orcus after the Etruscan god of the underworld and the equivalent of the Roman god Pluto.

 Orcus celestial bodies in astrology have been growing since the 1980s.

While Orcus does have a symbolic meaning in some astrological systems, its use in astrology is not as widespread as more established celestial bodies such as the Sun, Moon, and planets.

The object was named Orcus, after the Roman god of the underworld, and it quickly became the subject of intense fascination and speculation.

The fascination with Orcus was not limited to scientists and space enthusiasts, however. In popular culture, since the 1980s Orcus quickly became a symbol of the unknown and the mysterious. The 80s Movies and Television shows featuring explorers traveling to the planet and encountering strange alien creatures captivated audiences around the world.

They were fascinated by the tales of adventure and heroism, and many of their own legends and stories were inspired by these tales.

But the true history of Orcus goes back much further than the 1980s. In fact, Orcus has a long and storied past that dates back to ancient times.

In the mythology of the Etruscans, a civilization that existed in ancient Italy between the 8th and 3rd centuries BCE, Orcus was the god of the underworld. He was known as the punisher of broken oaths and the keeper of the souls of the dead.

When the Romans conquered the Etruscans, they adopted many of their gods and goddesses into their own pantheon. Orcus was one of these deities, and he became the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Pluto.

Over time, the worship of Orcus waned as the Roman Empire fell and Christianity became the dominant religion in Europe. But the memory of the god of the underworld persisted, and his name lived on in legends and folklore.

It wasn't until the 1980s that Orcus experienced a resurgence in popularity, this time as a celestial body in our solar system. When astronomers first take the opportunity to name Orcus in 2004, they named it after the ancient god of the underworld as a symbol of mystery and the unknown, a reminder that there is still much to discover in our infinite universe.

Today, Orcus continues to fascinate and intrigue us, both as a celestial body and as a figure from ancient mythology. Whether we see him as a deity of the underworld or a distant object in space, Orcus will always be a symbol of the mysteries that lie beyond our understanding.
