Pluto`s Bald Cousin
... Makemake, a dwarf planet in our Solar System, appears to have no atmosphere; it is bald! This means it’s not able to hold on to the few sunrays it receives at its distant location, which is even farther away from the Sun than its cousin, Pluto. Until a few years ago, Pluto was considered to be the m ...
