supports: Haumea, minor-planet designation 136108 Haumea, is a dwarf planet located beyond Neptune's orbit. It was discovered in 2004 by a team headed by Mike Brown of Caltech at the Palomar Observatory in the United States and independently in 2005, by a team headed by José Luis Ortiz Moreno at the Sierra Nevada Observatory in Spain, though the latter claim has been contested. On September 17, 2008, it was recognized as a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and named after Haumea, the Hawaiian goddess of childbirth. ( 119951 ) 2002 KX14 , also written as 2002 KX14 , is a trans - Neptunian object ( TNO ) residing within the Kuiper belt . It was discovered on 17 May 2002 by Michael E. Brown and Chad Trujillo . It has a semi-major axis , orbital period and orbital eccentricity close to that of a plutino . The orbital periods of plutinos cluster around 247.2 years ( 1.5 times Neptune 's orbital period ) . However , ( 119951 ) 2002 KX14 is not a plutino , because is not in resonance with Neptune , and it may have formed near its present nearly circular orbit lying almost perfectly on the ecliptic . It may have remained dynamically cold and thus its orbit may not be a direct result of significant perturbations during Neptune 's outward planetary migration . The Deep Ecliptic Survey ( DES ) currently shows it as a cubewano ( classical ) based on a 10 - million - year integration of the orbit . It comes to opposition in late May at an apparent magnitude of 20.4 . This makes it about 360 times fainter than Pluto . A trans-Neptunian object (TNO, also written transneptunian object) is any minor planet in the Solar System that orbits the Sun at a greater average distance (semi-major axis) than Neptune, 30 astronomical units (AU). Twelve minor planets with a semi-major axis greater than 150 AU and perihelion greater than 30 AU are known, which are called extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs). The Kuiper belt or , sometimes called the EdgeworthKuiper belt, is a circumstellar disc in the Solar System beyond the planets, extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU) to approximately 50 AU from the Sun. It is similar to the asteroid belt, but it is far larger20 times as wide and 20 to 200 times as massive. Like the asteroid belt, it consists mainly of small bodies, or remnants from the Solar System's formation. Although many asteroids are composed primarily of rock and metal, most Kuiper belt objects are composed largely of frozen volatiles (termed "ices"), such as methane, ammonia and water. The Kuiper belt is home to three officially recognized dwarf planets: Pluto, Haumea, and Makemake. Some of the Solar System's moons, such as Neptune's Triton and Saturn's Phoebe, are also thought to have originated in the region. In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved path of an object around a point in space, for example the orbit of a planet about a star or a natural satellite around a planet. Normally, orbit refers to a regularly repeating path around a body, although it may occasionally be used for a non recurring trajectory or a path around a point in space. To a close approximation, planets and satellites follow elliptical orbits, with the central mass being orbited at a focal point of the ellipse, as described by Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
