Newly Named Asteroids & Makemake Ephemeris

Friday, July 18th, 2008

The names below were added to the Minor Planet Center list overnight, including Makemake (2005 FY9), the newly named TNO / Dwarf Planet / Plutoid, currently at 23+ Virgo.

Makemake is now shown on all the ephemeris and chart pages on this site; it’s listed under TNOs at the moment, although I should probably change that to Dwarf Planet.

You can get the positions of the other new asteroids below (or any other named object) by using the “additional objects” option on those pages (enter the minor planet numbers separated by commas).
