	Quaoar
		Quaoar is a newly discovered Kuiper Belt object, found in June 2002 by Chad Trujillo and Mike Brown at Caltech in Pasadena.
		Quaoar is at about 42 AU away from us, more distant than Pluto and Neptune, which are both at about 30 AU.
		Quaoar's orbit is also inclined to the ecliptic (the plane of the solar system), by about 8 degrees.

	Quaoar (deity)
		Quaoar is the name of a creation deity[?] of the Native American Tongva people, native to the area around Los Angeles.
		A planetoid was named after this deity following the International Astronomical Union rules which requires naming all planetoids after creation deities (see planetary nomenclature).
		This planetoid was discovered in 2002 by astronomers Chad Trujillo[?] and Mike Brown[?] at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.

	Quaoar
		Quaoar ("kwah-oh-ahr", /kwA o Ar/) is a Trans-Neptunian object circling the Sun in the Kuiper belt, discovered in 2002 by astronomers Chad Trujillo[?] and Mike Brown[?] at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.
		Quaoar is estimated to have a diameter of about 1,280 kilometres, which would make it the largest Solar System object discovered since Pluto and, indeed, the largest known minor planet.
		Quaoar belongs to the Kuiper belt, a class of comet like icy objects orbitting beyond Neptune, pristine remnants from the solar nebula with much knowledge to yield.

	Why All This Nonsense?
		Quaoar speaks to the rhythms and choreography into which we were born, as these manifest within the family pattern going back generations.
		The other distortion of Quaoar is an inner-outer boundary question: what plays out in the life of an adult is a picture of what has happened around that child growing up.
		Quaoar was conjunct Juno, an asteroid that is about marriage partnerships; and Nessus was prominent in the sign Cancer, conjunct the North Node.

	50000 Quaoar at AllExperts
		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 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.

	Quaoar - StarIQ.com
		The fact of the matter remains that Quaoar, as they choose to call this Trans-Neptunian Object, is the largest known of the Kuiper Belt Objects circling our Sun, just beyond Pluto.
		Quaoar received its preliminary name from one of the discovering astronomers.
		The deity was assisted by the "medicines" of Eagle, Duck, Bear and Frog.

	Main
		Quaoar is a force of Creation, with the power to govern the processes of Manifestation and Abstraction.
		This would also further substantiate the connection between Quaoar and the 4th ray, since the Moon is on the 4th ray of Harmony through Conflict.
		While Quaoar has no form or gender he is usually referred to with the male pronoun.

		She becomes pregnant, and when the child is born, Laius again tries to cheat the oracle by leaving the newborn boy on a hillside to die.
		The deities' wrath is thus compounded, and the entire city of Thebes now comes under their curse in the form of the monstrous Sphinx.
		The wrath of the deity is thus linked not with mere human trangression, but with the abuse of a god-given talent or advantage.

	From Arizona Daily Star (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Quaoar was the god of an Indian tribe that originally lived in the Los Angeles area and may still be stuck on a freeway somewhere.
		Except for its smaller size, Quaoar has almost a better claim to be a planet than Pluto.
		Pluto and Quaoar may technically be part of a far-flung orbiting junkyard of rock and ice called the Kuiper Belt, which could contain up to 10 planetoids as big as or bigger than poor Pluto.It looks bad for clinging to the space roster as the ninth planet.

		50000 Quaoar (pronounced kwaa'·waar or kwow'·ər, Tongva [ˈqʷɑoɑr]) is a Trans-Neptunian object orbiting the Sun in the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt.
		Quaoar is estimated to have a diameter of about 1,200 kilometres, 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 90377 Sedna and 2003 UB313).
		In 2004, scientists were surprised to find signs of crystalline ice on Quaoar, indicating that the temperature rose to at least −160 °C (110 K or −260 °F) sometime in the last ten million years.

	Sedna, Quaoar and Planet X
		However, you can be sure if one day scientists come around and say that Ceres, Varuna and Quaoar are officially planets (the three most likely candidates to be added to the official list) then astrologers will go scrambling to get aboard.
		In turn 'Moar', Grandmother Moon (a very complex deity), 'Pamit' the Goddess of the sea, 'Manit' the Lord of dreams and visions, 'Manisar' the bringer of food and harvests, 'Tukupar Itar' the Sky Coyote (who is also our major hero), and 'Tolmalok' the Goddess of Shishongna (the underworld) join in the singing, dancing and creating.
		It was named for a creation deity of the icy waters, a goddess who created seals, whales and dolphins, and is considered the supreme deity of the oceans by the Inuit people (Eskimos, who kiss by rubbing noses).

		The size of 2004 DW is not yet certain; Brown estimates a size of about 1,400 kilometers, based on a comparison of the planetoid's luminosity with that of Quaoar.
		Because the distance of the object can already be calculated, its luminosity should be a good indicator of its size relative to Quaoar, provided the two objects have the same albedo, or reflectivity.
		Quaoar is known to have an albedo of about 10 percent, which is slightly higher than the reflectivity of our own moon.

		Quaoar is very bright because on it are different types of ice: water ice, methanol ice, methane ice, carbon monoxide ice, carbon dioxide ice and others.
		Orcus and Quaoar had been found with the Oschin Telescope at Palomar, a semi-automated telescope, with a mirror diameter of 1.2 meters and field of view about 3 square degrees.

		Meanwhile, Quaoar, the object recently noted in a recent article on Stariq (www.StarIQ.com) officially received its number, 50000, and even more remarkably, the astronomers et al.
		Quaoar restores the images of song, dance and ceremony to invoke the spirits of creation and bring about the good life intended by the Creator.
		A key point to recall while we welcome Quaoar's and Varuna's far reaching grasps, is that the fl hole combo, NGC 6240, suggests the inclusion of all energy that serves the common cause.

		Discovered 4 June 2002, Quaoar is 42 AUs away from us (about 4 billion miles); light from the Sun takes 5 hours to reach it, as opposed to 8 minutes for earth.
		Again, astrological research is lacking, but one might expect to see him prominent in such creation-themed arenas as in vitro fertilization and cloning, as well as, perhaps, in anti-creation areas such as contraceptive and abortion issues.
		Astrologer Jerome Armstrong notes that Ixion and Quaoar are following close in Pluto's wake in early Sagittarius, and connects the rise of the political version of religious fundamentalism with the astronomical exploration of the Kuiper Belt in 1992.
