Makemake is named after the creator deity of the Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and is one of the largest known Kuiper Belt objects after Pluto. Its very bright, reddish surface is likely made of frozen methane and ethane, similar to Pluto. Its only known moon, informally nicknamed 'MK 2', wasn't discovered until 2016 by the Hubble Space Telescope.
