Hello I’m Orcus
I am classified as a Plutino
Which is a Trans-Neptunian Object
Here we’ll talk about the info astronomers
collect

Discovered on February 17, 2004
By Michael Brown and Chad Trujillo
and David Rabinowitz for sure

Discovered at the Palomar Observatory
using the Samuel Oschin Telescope
that discovered me

Officially discovered
back in 2004
In 1951 Precovery pictures saw me
before

My name came from the Etruscan God of the underworld
He was the punisher of broken oaths
I tell you as I twirl

Any objects of the similar size and orbit as Pluto
Are named by the IAU after Deities of the Underworld

Hello I’m Orcus
I am classified as a Plutino
Which is a Trans-Neptunian Object
Here we’ll talk about the info astronomers
collect

My orbital period is 247 Years
But my rotation period is unknown
now isn’t that weird

(90482) 2004 DW
was my provisional name
before my official name, Orcus came through

I am a Kuiper Belt Object and I do have a moon
My satellite’s name is Vanth
And I’ll tell you more soon

The discovery of Vanth was made by Michael Brown
With the Hubble Space Telescope
is how it was found

On November 13, in 2005
But Vanth was announced
in 2007 it came to life

Hello I’m Orcus
I am classified as a Plutino
Which is a Trans-Neptunian Object
Here we’ll talk about the info astronomers
collect

One more thing about Vanth
While It orbits me
It’s nearly Face-on in a perfect circle
you see

My satellites name came from meaning similar to me
Vanth is a Daemon in Etruscan Mythology

One complete orbit takes Vanth 9.54 Days
Here’s some more about me through my info doorway

I’m about 917 Kilometers
in diameter
and Vanth is roughly 276 Kilometers

Hello I’m Orcus
I am classified as a Plutino
Which is a Trans-Neptunian Object
Here we’ll talk about the info astronomers
collect

Hello I’m Orcus
I am classified as a Plutino
Which is a Trans-Neptunian Object
Here we’ll talk about the info astronomers
