Williams at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory in Santa Cruz de la Palma, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, in the Canary Islands. It has a period of 282 years, 341 days.

Spanish dictator Francisco Franco (born December 4, 1892 at 12:30 a.m. in El Ferrol, La Coruna, Spain) had 1994 VK8 in the fifth house, conjunct Chaos, parallel Sun (to shine, to lead, monarchs), and sesquiquadrate the Moon (the public) and Neptune (spirituality, illusion). When it became clear that he would die soon and the Spanish monarchy would be restored whether he liked it or not, he selected Alfonso XIII's grandson Prince Juan Carlos as heir to the throne, bypassing his father Prince Juan, who had spoken out against Franco; after Franco's death, though, King Juan Carlos proved conclusively that he was no creature of Franco's.
