According to myth, Tsukuyomi-no-mikoto, the Japanese god of night and the moon, was born from the right eye of the god Izanaki {see planet  (10209)}. It is said that he made his older sister, the goddess Amaterasu {see planet  (10385)}, very angry and caused the separate appearance of the sun in the day and the moon at night. (M 39655) _ _.
