...smaller than the dwarf planet Pluto? Size challenged Pluto. Dwarf is not politically correct.

Artist concept of Haumea, with the correct proportions of the main body and the ring. The ring is at a distance of 2287 kilometers from the center of the main body and is darker than the surface of the dwarf planet itself. Credit: Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía.

We can’t even manage a human landing on Mars in our solar system, which is only a very small AUD away from earth.

I am so pleased to hear that Hillary Clinton has finally given a ring to Haumea and made an honest woman out of her.
