These storms are rotating, organized systems of clouds and thunderstorms that originate over tropical or ...
a dwarf planet, the third-largest-known trans-Neptunian object. Notable for its two known satellites, rings, and unusually short rotation period (3.9 h). It is the most massive known member of the Haumea collisional family. 136472 Makemake: a dwarf planet, a cubewano, and the fourth-largest known trans-Neptunian object: 136199 Eris

The Yamato-class battleships (大和型戦艦, Yamato-gata senkan) were two battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy, Yamato and Musashi, laid down leading up to World War II and completed as designed. A third hull, laid down in 1940, was converted to an aircraft carrier, Shinano, during construction. Displacing nearly 72,000 long tons (73,000 ...
Vulcanoid. The zone, represented by the orange region, in which vulcanoids may exist, compared with the orbits of Mercury, Venus and Earth. The vulcanoids are a hypothetical population of asteroids that orbit the Sun in a dynamically stable zone inside the orbit of the planet Mercury. They are named after the hypothetical planet Vulcan, which ...
