This Hubble image reveals the first moon discovered around the dwarf planet Makemake. The tiny moon is barely visible because it is almost lost in the glare of the brighter dwarf planet. The moon, nicknamed MK 2, is roughly 160 km across and orbits about 21,000 km from Makemake. Makemake is 1,300 times brighter than its moon. It’s also much larger at 1400 km across.
Minkowski 2-9, also known as M2-9 or the Butterfly Nebula, is a planetary nebula located about 2,100 light-years away from Earth in the direction of the constellation Ophiuchus. This bipolar nebula has twin lobes of material that emanate from a central star. A double star is at the center of the nebula The primary component of the central binary is the hot core of a star that reached the end of its main-sequence life, ejected most of its outer layers and became a red giant, and is now contracting into a white dwarf. The second, smaller star of the pair orbits very closely and may have been swallowed by the large star’s expanding stellar atmosphere with the resulting interaction creating the nebula. The gravity of one star may be pulling some of the gas from the surface of the other and sending it into a thin, dense disk that could account for M2-9’s odd appearance.
I’ve already been subjected to a couple of false criminal charges at the hands of Team Kimberlin. If a third false charge is filed, I’ll beat that one too. Therefore, before another malicious charge is filed, the person planning to do so should reflect on how I am now dealing with the first two and make sure that his vision of future is as clear as he thinks.
I sincerely doubt that the Cabin Boy™ will ever see Sarah Palmer in Chicago. He has failed to [redacted]. Furthermore, Wisconsin [redacted], whereas Illinois [redacted]. So it’s much more likely that The Dreadful Pro-Se Schmalfeldt should be making reservations for travel to North Carolina. Considering how far the relevant federal courthouse is from a decent airport, he might want to check with Greyhound.
