Add a one-line explanation of what this file represents
Description The true diameter of dwarf planet candidate 28978 Ixion depends on the albedo (the fraction of light that it reflects). You can have a smaller body that is more reflective or you can have a larger body that is less reflective. The Spitzer Space Telescope has estimated Ixion to have a diameter of 650 (+260/-220) km with an albedo of 0.12 (+0.14/-0.06). Any ice dwarf with a diameter greater than 400 km is likely spherical.
