Dwarf planet "Haumea" is one of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) classified in the Plutoid, discovered on Mar 7, 2003.
Haumea is revolving an elliptical orbit with a period of 282 years slightly outside of the Pluto (247 years in period);
the orbit tilts 28 degrees from the plane of the ecliptic.
A shape of Haumea has been presumed as an ellipsoid with axis lengths of 1000 to 2000 km; two tiny satellites had been discovered in 2005.
The dwarf planet was named after Goddess of fertility in the Hawaii islands, registered as the fourth Plutoid next to the Pluto, the Eris, and the Makemake in Sep. 2008.
This image has displayed by turning the celestial north direction upward.
When I photographed, Haumea had a visual brightness of 17.2th magnitude and was moving northward slowly in the southern region of Bootes.
Comparing two shots taken 24-hours apart, you can detect a Haumea's apparent movement of approximately 35 arc seconds.
