DWARF PLANET MAKEMAKE

https://patreon.com/freeschool - Help support more content like this! The category of dwarf planets was created in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union to help contain new objects that were being discovered. Although there are hundreds of objects in the solar system that could potentially be classified as dwarf planets, as of 2017 there are only five officially recognized ones: Ceres, Pluto, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake. Unlike planets, dwarf planets have not cleared their orbits of objects and debris. Like this video if you want to see more videos about SPACE!

15 fun facts on the dwarf planet Makemake. Since not much is known about Makemake, I had to make this video shorter as I did for Haumea.

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope discovered a moon orbiting dwarf planet Makemake -- the third largest known object past the orbit of Neptune, about two thirds the size of Pluto. Further observations of this moon may allow astronomers to calculate Makemake's mass, which will give them a better idea of its density and thus its bulk composition. The Hubble Space Telescope has been instrumental in studying our outer solar system; it also discovered four of the five moons orbiting Pluto.

Subscribe & Become an Elite Cosmos Watcher! Top 5 Extraordinary Dwarf Planets In The Solar System! There are 5 officially recognized dwarf planets in our solar system, they are Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris. With the exception of Ceres, which is located in the asteroid belt, the other dwarf planets are found in the outer solar system. There are another 6 objects in our solar system that are almost certainly dwarf planets and there may as many as 10,000. Currently none of the dwarf planets have been visited by space probes, though in 2015 NASA’s Dawn and New Horizons missions will reach Ceres and Pluto respectively.

The Dwarf Planet pass in front of a distant star (occulation) was witnessed from several locations in South America. Data from, European observatories in Chile shows it is not like Pluto as previously thought due to a lack of atmosphere.
