Its Own Reflection...

Janus, from which we get "January"
Not so salacious as you'll see by the link below (since neutrinos are the rage in the news of late):

"Are neutrinos their own antiparticles? Clear proof would come from observing a neutrinoless double-beta decay—the simultaneous transmutation of two neutrons into two protons, without the emission of neutrinos. Looking for such events, which have never been seen before, is a primary goal of experiments at the newly commissioned Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO)."
