 Anagolay: The Goddess of Lost Things

Pre-colonial Tagalog who were hopelessly looking for their missing stuff prayed to
Anagolay, the goddess of lost things. She was the daughter of two major Tagalog deities –
Ikapati and Mapulon.
When she reached the right age, she married the hunter Dumakulem and gave birth to
two more deities: Apolaki and Dian Masalanta, the ancient gods of sun and lovers,
respectively.
In September of 2014, the Minor Planet Center (MPC), the international agency
responsible for naming minor bodies in the solar system, officially gave the name (3537)
Anagolay to an asteroid first discovered in 1982 by E.F. Helin at the Palomar
Observatory.
Obviously, the asteroid was named after the ancient Tagalog goddess of lost things.
The name, submitted by Filipino student Mohammad Abqary Alon, bested more than a
thousand entries in a contest held by the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC).
