	50000 Quaoar
		Quaoar was the first trans-Neptunian object to be measured directly from Hubble Space Telescope images, using a new sophisticated method (see Brownâs pages for a non-technical description and his paper cited in references for details).
		Quaoar is believed to be a mixture of rock and ice, like other Kuiper Belt Objects; however its very low albedo (estimated at 0.1 but still much higher than that of 20000 Varuna: 0.04) indicates that the ice has disappeared from its outer layers.
		In 2004, scientists were surprised to find signs of crystalline ice on Quaoar, indicating that the temperature rose to at least −160 Â°C (110 K or −260 Â°F) sometime in the last ten million years.

		Quaoar is estimated to have a diameter of 1260 Â± 190 km, which at the time of discovery in 2002 made it the largest object found in the solar system since the discovery of Pluto.
		Quaoar's volume is somewhat more than all of the asteroids put together, it is about one tenth the diameter of Earth, one third the diameter of the Moon or about half the size of Pluto.

		Quaoar is estimated to have a diameter of 1260 Â±190 km, which at the time of discovery made it the largest object found in the solar system since Pluto and, indeed, then the largest known minor planet (it was later supplanted by,,, Sedna and Orcus).
		Quaoar's volume is somewhat more than all of the asteroids put together, it is about one tenth the diameter of Earth, one third the diameter of the Moon or about half the size of Pluto.
		Quaoar has a more typical planetary orbit than Pluto does—a near-circular, moderately-inclined (~8Â°) orbit with a radius of ~43 AU as shown on the polar view (Quaoar's orbit in blue, Pluto's in red, Neptune in grey).

		The IAU approved the name Quaoar, making it the official name; it also has the systematic name 2002 LM The discovery weakens Pluto's case to be classed as a planet, since astronomers expect that there may be as many as a dozen Kuiper Belt objects the size of Quaoar.
		In some ways, Quaoar has more claim to be a planet than Pluto does: it has a more typical planetary orbit (a near-circular orbit with a radius of somewhat over 40 AU rather than a highly eccentric one like Pluto's).

	Quaoar (minor planet 50000)
		The diameter of Quaor is roughly 1,200 km (740 miles), which is about the size of Pluto's moon Charon.
		This gives Quaoar a volume about the same as that of all the asteroids in the main asteroid belt put together.

		Quaoar is about 4 billion miles away from Earth, well over a billion miles farther away than Pluto.
		The surface temperature of Quaoar is only 50 K (-220 C) and, at these low temperatures, the thermodynamically preferred form of ice is amorphous (meaning "structureless": the water molecules freeze where they stick in a jumbled pattern).
		Quaoar\\\'s "icy dwarf" cousin, Pluto, was discovered in 1930 in the course of a 15-year search for trans-Neptunian planets.

		Asteroid 50000 Quaoar was discovered on June 4, 2002 by Chad Trujillo and Michael E. Brown at Palomar Observatory near Pauma Valley, California.
		Quaoar was named for the creator god of the Tongva Indians (also known as the San Gabrielito Indians), a Southern California tribe who once occupied more of the Los Angeles area than they now do.
		Quaoar, a force without form or gender, danced and sang Weywot, Sky Father, into existence; then, they created Chehooit, Earth Mother, and then Quaoar and Weywot and Chehooit brought Tamit, Grandfather Sun, to life, and then came the rest of the universe.

		50000 Quaoar, discovered in 2002, which is a KBO, is half the size of Pluto and is larger than the largest asteroid, 1 Ceres.
		The eccentricity of the orbits is represented by the red segments (extending from perihelion to aphelion) with inclination represented on Y axis.
		Initially, the Kuiper belt was thought to be a flat belt (populated by objects on moderately eccentric, low-inclination orbits), as opposed to high inclination orbits of the "scattered"?title=disk objects.

	Quaoar
		Quaoar is a newly discovered Kuiper Belt object, found in June 2002 by Chad Trujillo and Mike Brown at Caltech in Pasadena.
		Quaoar's orbit is also inclined to the ecliptic (the plane of the solar system), by about 8 degrees.
		Note that the vertical elongation is due to object motion during the exposure ("blurring"), and not the size of the object.

		The "memorable" number 50000 is a witness to the exciting race to discover a Pluto-sized object; Quaoar’s discovery followed that of and was in turn followed by bigger discoveries (see below).The efforts were finally rewarded with the discovery of an object bigger than Pluto, namely.
