102 Miriam
102 Miriam is a moderately large, very dark main belt asteroid. It was discovered by C. H. F. Peters on August 22, 1868, from the Litchfield Observatory.
Peters named the asteroid after Miriam, the sister of Moses in the Old Testament. This caused some controversy, because at the time, asteroids were expected to be named after mythological figures, and the devout would not regard Biblical figures as such. According to fellow astronomer Edward S. Holden, Peters deliberately chose a name from the Bible so as to annoy an overly pious theology professor of his acquaintance.
Photometric observations of this asteroid during 2007 at the Organ Mesa Observatory in Las Cruces, New Mexico, were used to create a light curve plot. This showed a rotation period of 23.613 ± 0.001 hours and a brightness variation of 0.12 ± 0.02 magnitude. The curve shows three maxima and minima during each cycle. This value for the period differs from the 15.789 hour estimate produced in a 2008 study.

Miriam
Miriam (Hebrew: מִרְיָם, Modern Miryam, Tiberian Miryām ; Arabic: مريم (Maryam); see Miriam (given name) was the elder sister of Moses by seven years and Aaron by four years, and the only daughter of Amram and Jochebed. She was the sister of a prophet and first appears in the Book of Exodus in the Hebrew Bible.
Biblical account
In Exodus 2, at her mother Yocheved's request, Moses's sister hid her baby brother Moses by the side of a river to evade the Pharaoh's order that newborn Hebrew boys be killed. She watched as the Pharaoh's daughter discovered the infant and decided to adopt him. Moses's sister then suggested that the princess take on a nurse for the child, and suggested Yocheved; as a result, Moses was raised to be familiar with his background as a Hebrew. (Exodus 2:1-10) It is worth noting that Miriam is not explicitly named in the Exodus 2 accounts of Moses's early life. The connection of the Miriam of later texts to the Exodus 2 account stems from interpretation traditions and not from the text itself.

Prefiero estar sola
by: MyriamSi que está llegando el fin,
Ya no quiero esta vida,
Me canse de convivir,
Con tus mentiras, ya no soy feliz...
No se como acabaré,
Ya sabré acostumbrarme,
Si llegué hasta aquí de pie,
Voy a arriesgarme, a dejarte...
coro
Prefiero estar sola, mordiendo mis ganas,
Que contar las horas, mientras tu me engañas,
Prefiero el recuerdo, de aquel primer beso,
Que aquel como judas me das cuando duermo
Prefiero estar sola...
Ya no puedo reponer,
La confianza perdida,
A tal punto ya llegué,
Que no hay salida, me liberaré...
No se como acabaré,
Ya sabré acostumbrarme,
Si llegué hasta aquí de pie,
Voy a arriesgarme, a dejarte...
Coro
Prefiero estar sola, mordiendo mis ganas,
Que contar las horas, mientras tu me engañas,
Prefiero el recuerdo, de aquel primer beso,
Que aquel como judas me das cuando duermo
Prefiero estar sola...
No se si vuelva a sentir,
Lo que sentía en tus brazos,
Se que voy a sufrir,
Pero aún así...
Coro
Prefiero estar sola, mordiendo mis ganas,
Que contar las horas, mientras tu me engañas,
Prefiero el recuerdo, de aquel primer beso,
Que aquel como judas me das cuando duermo
Prefiero estar sola...
