Makemake - the dwarf planet within the Kuiper belt 🌌

Credit: Nasa

Pronounced MAH-kay MAH-kay, this dwarf planet is the second brightest within the Kuiper belt - an icy ‘donut’ shaped region full of rocks out beyond Neptune. It’s name comes from a Rapanui god of fertility - which is ironic as Makemake is so cold and barren that it’s unlikely life as we know it could exist!

It takes 305 earth years for it to make one revolution of the sun and its discovery led to scientists and researchers rethinking the classification of a planet.

In the first picture we see a bright light above Makemake. This is a moon nicknamed MK2 and was discovered in 2016 by the Hubble Space Telescope. 🔭 ⭐️
