Now an international research team has confirmed that 75% of Haumea and 100% of Hi’iaka (which is around 400 km in diameter) are covered with crystallised water-ice (with an ordered structure ...

The fifth dwarf planet of the solar system, Haumea, and at least one of its two satellites, are covered in crystalline water-ice due to the tidal forces between them and the heat of radiogenic ...

With the help of computer simulations, this dwarf planet's history may reveal clues about icy worlds in the solar system.

Most objects with a radius over 200 miles are spherical, but Haumea is an exception.

The dwarf planet Haumea may be the weirdest object in the solar system. Now NASA researchers may finally understand how it was formed.

My Job Is Bringing Joy Through Old-Style Hawaiian Music High schooler Kamaha‘o Haumea-Thronas loves singing mele Hawai‘i and keeping Hawaiian music alive.

Haumea, which was officially discovered in 2005, has an unusual egg-shaped structure, which it gets from having such a high rate of spin. This stretches it out, making it more oblong than spherical.

Haumea is the fastest spinning object in the solar system. The object's odd shape is a direct result of the spin. "Because of this spin, it pulls itself outward" at the equator in a bulge, Brown ...

The fifth dwarf planet of the Solar System, Haumea, and at least one of its two satellites, are covered in crystalline water-ice due to the tidal forces between them and the heat of radiogenic ...

Take, for example, the dwarf planet Haumea, a large egg-shaped body that hangs out beyond Neptune in the far reaches of our little planetary neighborhood, which researchers just discovered also ...
