Ice cubes in space

http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id..._cubes_in_space


You’d need a mighty tall glass to hold two space objects that researchers have now identified as ice cubes at the fringes of the solar system. The larger of the icy bodies is about the width of Ohio, the smaller about twice the length of Rhode Island. Both bodies are moons of the dwarf planet Haumea. The trio, discovered in late 2004 and 2005, reside in the Kuiper Belt, a reservoir of objects beyond the orbit of Neptune whose most famous denizen is Pluto.
"Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them."
