[edit] Name
I don't have anything to contribute to an actual article about Huya, but I did confirm the pronunciation with the discoverer, Ignacio Ferrín of the Observatorio Nacional de Llano del Hato, Mérida, Venezuela. In Spanish orthography, the Waruu name would be Juyá. kwami
[edit] Problems with Russian pronunciation
The problem is that in Russian the name is obscene.
- So is Uranus in English if it is pronounced certain ways. I have another example, Persephone, which includes an obscene word in Finnish. Your point?--JyriL talk 18:11, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

- How do Russian astronomers pronounce it and write it on applications for research grants? If they start it with "H" (kh) the financing authorities will be laughing sick. 212.188.109.219 (talk) 21:30, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

- It appears to be spelt "Хуйа" (see ru version). I don't know what that means. Lanthanum-138 (talk) 03:49, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Huya was not the largest TNO
Under Size it says that at the time of its discovery, Huya was the biggest and brightest Trans-Neptunian object yet found. In fact, the biggest and brightest TNO known at that time was Pluto.
