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]

The radii of these objects range over three orders of magnitude, from planetary-mass objects like dwarf planets and some moons to the planets and the Sun. This list does not include small Solar System bodies , but it does include a sample of possible planetary-mass objects whose shapes have yet to be determined.

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.
The Minor Planet Center (MPC) classifies it as a cubewano. [3] But since this object has an inclination of 19.3°, the Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES) classifies it as scattered-extended. [4] It has been observed 119 times over thirteen oppositions, with precovery images back to 1954. [2]
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).
