Anti-pluto? In the 1930s, Orcus was actually about 52 degrees behind Pluto. It spends plenty of its orbital cycle within 90 degrees of Pluto as seen from the Sun.

Naming of (90482) Orcus I Vanth

(Cross-posted from WT:ASTRO) According to the article Vanth (moon), the name of (90482) Orcus I Vanth was assigned in April 2010, but the reference is a blank page. However the name appears to be assigned in Minor Planet Circular 69495, available in a batch dated 2010/03/30 [1][2]. I'd update the article but I'm not particularly well-versed in the naming procedures, so I might be missing something here. Icalanise (talk) 00:02, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link. Subbed. Serendi ^podous 06:29, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers for that. While we're discussing Vanth, do we have a better image for the article: the article itself points out that Vanth is significantly redder than Orcus, but the image shows them as roughly the same colour. Not sure if there's an actual image itself so we don't have to rely on artist's impressions for the main image. Icalanise (talk) 19:40, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It can be photoshopped, I suppose. I don't really have the tech to do it. Serendi ^podous 21:51, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Escape velocity: Please add citation

I make bad citations on wikipedia. The source for the new escape velocity is http://books.google.com/books?id=_LZ8AwAAQBAJ&pg=PA57&lpg=PA57&dq=what+is+vanth%27s+escape+velocity?&source=bl&ots=hbe1z-FBKl&sig=1Ed1Lelh-ecVORaGLwl7nVwiy2o&hl=en&sa=X&ei=yybkU6TwK9G2yATNpYHwCQ&ved=0CCsQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=what%20is%20vanth's%20escape%20velocity%3F&f=false.
