For some unexplained reason, I have been on a bit of a astronomy/science-fiction binge lately, having tumbled down yet one more Youtube rabbit hole. Having also recently watched Mickey 17, 'other worlds' have been on my mind. 

Now, beyond my love for science fiction and occasional forays onto the Internet, my astronomical knowledge is limited at best. I was playing around with a fascinating online visualiser (Solar System Scope), and just from randomly clicking around the solar system i stumbled onto a fascinating object: Haumea. 

There's plenty you can read up about Haumea, but the important and standout thing is this: It's egg-shaped! What the actual hell! My basic understanding of planets (dwarf planets included) is that they are balls. Spheres. And here we have an egg-shaped one. I am so intrigued. 

The universe is fascinating.
