Orbit from osculating elements
Makemake is placed by solving a Keplerian orbit at the simulation time (a = 45.8 AU, e = 0.1559, i = 29°, period 309.9 yr).
Third-largest known dwarf planet. Named after the creator god of the Rapa Nui people.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.
Makemake is placed by solving a Keplerian orbit at the simulation time (a = 45.8 AU, e = 0.1559, i = 29°, period 309.9 yr).
Makemake: mean radius 715 km. These values are bundled with the object record and drive the rendered size.
No resolved global surface map is available. Color is approximate; surface geology is not depicted.
The short description and the fact list are written by the Space Time authors for orientation. They are not quoted from a catalog field and carry no citation of their own.
