Makemake [e] (minor-planet designation: 136472 Makemake) is a dwarf planet and the largest of what is known as the classical population of Kuiper belt objects, [b] with a diameter approximately that of Saturn's moon Iapetus, or 60% that of Pluto. [24] [25] It has one known satellite. [26]

S/2015 (136472) 1, unofficially nicknamed MK2 by the discovery team, [2] is the only known moon of the trans-Neptunian dwarf planet Makemake. [1] [4] It is estimated to be 175 km (110 mi) in diameter and has a semi-major axis of at least 21,000 km (13,000 mi) from Makemake. [1] Its orbital period is at least 12 days if it has a circular orbit.
Precovery image of 2005 RM 43 taken by the Siding Spring Observatory in 1976 [9]. 2005 RM 43 is considered likely to be a dwarf planet by both Brown and Tancredi. [8] [10] Based on an absolute magnitude of 4.4, the body's diameter could be anywhere in the range of 350 to 800 kilometres (km), depending on its albedo, the surface reflectivity of the object. [11]

As far as anyone can tell, Image:Makemake precovery.jpg is the only photograph of makemake on the internet at all. Regardless, any images not taken by NASA would be copyrighted by the observatory from which they were taken, and it doesn't appear that NASA has imaged this planet dwarf planet yet (as strange as that seems). If you can find ...
M. E. Brown estimates that is very likely a dwarf planet. [9] A diameter of 680 ± 34 km has been determined from combined observations of the Herschel and Spitzer space telescopes. [ 5 ] Tancredi notes that light-curve-amplitude analysis shows only small deviations, suggesting that (90568) 2004 GV 9 could be a spheroid with small albedo spots ...
