Haumea
Haumea is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt beyond the orbit of Neptune. It is characterized by an elongated shape, rapid rotation, and a surface dominated by crystalline water ice.
Haumea is discussed in planetary science, solar system dynamics, and the study of trans-Neptunian objects.
Status
Haumea was identified in the early twenty-first century and later classified as a dwarf planet. Observations continue to inform models of its shape, rotational dynamics, and satellite system.
