  90482 Orcus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
90482 Orcus (originally known by the provisional designation 2004 DW) is a Kuiper Belt object (KBO) that was discovered by Michael Brown of Caltech, Chad Trujillo of the Gemini Observatory, and David Rabinowitz of Yale University.
Since it shares a similar size and orbit to that of Pluto, it too must be named after a deity of the underworld.
Orcus is both another name for the Greek deity Hades and a separate god of the dead in Roman mythology.
