Easter Island Strikes Again – In the Sky
A “Plutoid” (or dwarf planet, after the demoted Pluto) discovered in 2005 has been renamed from “Easterbunny” to “Makemake“, the chief god, creator of humanity and god of fertility in the mythology of the inhabitants of Easter Island (Rapa Nui).
The red methane-covered orb is only slightly smaller and dimmer than Pluto. Discovery of this and other trans-Neptunian objects led the International Astronomical Union to reclassify Pluto.
