'''Haumea''' is a dwarf planet found in the [[Kuiper belt]], a region of the Solar System lying beyond the orbit of [[Neptune]].  It was discovered in mid-2005 and revived attention for its odd shape, looking like a "plump cigar".<ref>http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/09/080918234427.htm</ref> Huamea's diameter is approximately the same as that of the dwarf planet Pluto, but is much thinner. Haumea rotates approximately every four hours, giving it the fastest rotation period for a large object in the solar system.<ref>http://365daysofastronomy.org/2009/03/31/march-31st/</ref>
