Basil Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 ...in the outer solar system: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap080923.html Yeah, an ellipsoid of three (different) axes, and it's in hydrostatic equilibrium (and hence a dwarf planet), because it rotates so blazingly fast. Ya know, the Kuiper Belt is turning out to be more and more interesting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DusterBoy Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Re: Another weird thing... One of my favourite quotes is from JBS Haldane: "My own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose." Things like this only reinforce for me that Haldane was spot on. The eternal wonders of the universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
