Juno: an Asteroid, one of the biggest objects from the inner Asteroid Belt. 06. Ceres: the tiniest dwarf planet, nevertheless, the biggest object from the inner Asteroid Belt. 07. Pallas: an Asteroid, one of the biggest objects from the inner Asteroid Belt, its orbit is highly inclinated. 08.

Orcus: a Plutoid object, Orcus's 247 year orbit is shaped similarly to Pluto's, but is differently oriented. 16. 2002 AW197: one of the largest dwarf planet candidates, located near the Kuiper cliff; ESO analysis of spectra reveals a strong red slope and no presence of water ice, suggesting organic material. 17. 2003 EL61: also known as the dwarf planet "Haumea"; a bit smaller than Makemake. 18. Varuna: a large classical Kuiper Belt object, and a potential dwarf planet. 19. 2004 XR190: Transneptunian object and potential dwarf planet nicknamed Buffy (the vampire slayer), it ...
