Size comparison: Pluto vs Makemake

Size comparison between the dwarf planet Pluto and Makemake.

The dwarf planet Makemake is 40% smaller. Otherwise its characteristics are quite similar to those of Pluto. Except rotation time. There is no clear image of this second celestial body; only Hubble features a large bright spot as the only snapshot. This is a representation of NASA.
