Haumea size and scale context

Haumea is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt with a noticeably stretched silhouette. Its rapid rotation makes it one of the most unusual large bodies in the outer Solar System, and it also has two moons and a ring. The odd system is likely the aftermath of a major collision early in Haumea’s history. Read its scale context, comparisons, and journey links on the canonical object page.
