19521 Chaos /ˈk.ɒs/, is a cubewano, a Kuiper-belt object not in resonance with any planet. It is a likely dwarf planet. Chaos was discovered in 1998 by the Deep Ecliptic Survey, with Kitt Peak's 4 m telescope. Its albedo is 0.050+0.030
−0.016
,[3] making it, with its absolute magnitude (H) of 4.9,[2] 600+140
−130
km in diameter.[3] It is named after the primeval state of existence in Greek mythology, from which the first gods appeared.
