Discover the cosmos! ... 2005 July 31 . Solar System Object Larger than Pluto Discovered . ... A faint, slowly moving dot discovered by computer shows clear signs of being a deep Solar System object at least as large as Pluto . The object, designated 2003 UB 313 , is currently situated nearly 100 times the Earth-Sun distance -- over twice the average Pluto-Sun distance. ... Since 2003 UB 313 is surely not completely reflective , it could be substantially larger. ... About APOD | ...

... Kuiper belt objects are icy bodies in the outer solar system. ... Views of Kuiper Belt Objects . Object 1993 SC . This image shows a small part of the discovery frames of 1993 SC, one of the brightest Kuiper-Belt objects so far discovered. ... Assuming that Object 1993 SC reflects light much like other primitive asteroids and comets in the out solar system, the diameter is around 300 kilometers (186 miles), or just a quarter the size of Pluto's moon Charon. ...

... The planets are still growing slowly as comets and meteoroids collide with them. ... In the 1950s, American astronomer Fred Whipple suggested that comets are dirty snowballs: clumps of ice mixed with interplanetary dust. ... For most of its orbit, a comet remains far from the Sun, little more than the dirty snowball that it is -- what is usually called a bare nucleus. ... As Comet Hyakutake approached the Sun, jets of dust erupted from the Sun-facing side of its nucleus. ...

The high-redshift radio-loud quasar PKS 2126-158 is found to have a large number of red galaxies in close apparent proximity.We use the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) on Gemini South to obtain optical spectra for a large fraction of these sources. We show that there is a group of galaxies at z 0.66, coincident with a metal-line absorption system seen in the quasar s optical spectrum. ... All confirmed members exhibit early-type galaxy spectra, a rare situation for a MgII absorbing system. ...

The picture above was made with this demo POV file and this hand shower object POV file . This is three objects: a hand shower head, a wall mount bar, and a connecting hose. This is one of my least detailed objects; there's not even a clip to mount the hand shower to the sliding bar, it just floats. The hand shower itself does look pretty stylish, very rounded and cool looking. ... The showerhead is about yay big. ... WARNING: This POV object is based on a real object. ...
