β§ Makemake β§
Makemake is a dwarf planet orbiting the Sun beyond Neptune. It has a diameter 60% that of Pluto, and is the fourth-largest trans-Neptunian object and the largest member of the Solar System's classical Kuiper belt, a disk of icy bodies beyond Neptune's orbit. Its discovery on March 31, 2005, by American astronomers Mike Brown, Chad Trujillo and Da...

Webb Telescope detects activity within dwarf planets
They may be dwarf planets, but they're not dead planets.NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has provided scientists with evidence of geothermal activity deep within two far-out dwarf planets, Eris and Makemake.

Evidence of #hydrothermal or metamorphic activity within the icy dwarf #planets #Eris and #Makemake, located in the #Kuiper Belt. #Methane detected on their surfaces has the tell-tale signs of warm or even hot geochemistry in their rocky cores, which is markedly different than the signature of methane from a #comet.

Todayβs #APOD is not a #photography but an #artist view of the #dwarf #planet #Makemake (pronounce MAH-kay MAH-kay) and its #moon to scale. Makemake is really a dwarf planet, it is only ~1430km (888 mi) in #diameter, hence 41% of the size of the #Moon, and 60% of the size of the dwarf planet #Pluto. Both dwarf planets are actually smaller than the #Moon.
