Astronomers name distant dwarf planets after PlutoSETH BORENSTEIN
Light Curves of Dwarf Plutonian Planets and other Large Kuiper Belt Objects: Their Rotations, Phase Functions and Absolute Magnitudes (Abridged) I report new light curves and determine the rotations and phase functions of several large Kuiper Belt objects, including the dwarf planet Eris ......
astronomers began discovering numerous, small planetary objects (such as “dwarf planets”) in the outer reaches of the solar system. What’s more, in 2003 a planetary body larger than Pluto
Ceres will continue to be a small planet, but in 2015 we will come to understand that dwarf planets are planets, too. Clyde Tombaugh, discoverer of Pluto. (Image credit: NASA) Pluto’s short planetary reign When Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, many astronomers were certain ...
planets, these bodies are not massive enough to have swept up most smaller nearby bodies by gravitational attraction; they thus failed to grow larger. The IAU agreed to establish a process for determining which other bodies presently known or to be discovered are dwarf planets. In June 2008 ...

Mostly I love flinging myself through the air as a berserker dwarf, and also the tension of trying to clear a level with the well-hidden grimoires in hand, which improve your loot drops but lower your health while you’re holding them. It’s so much harder and completely optional, but ...
Its near-infrared spectral energy distribution is well fitted by a few dusty and/or young L7–L9 dwarf spectral templates. The extremely red 1–4 μ m spectral distribution is typical of low-gravity objects at the L/T spectral type transition. The planet's orbital motion is resolved between...
