New dwarf planet discovered by UM

Submitted by caliblue on

David Gerdes, University of Michigan cosmology professor, while mapping galaxies discovered a new dwarf planet  approximately 500 miles in diameter.  This made the news today on national public radio.  His web page:http://www-personal.umich.edu/~gerdes/.  I know this is not sports related but as a double graduate ( BS chem, M.D. ),  sometimes these things just make you proud to be an alumnus.  Harbaugh will have a camp there next summer

Leonardo Dicaprio is doing a documentary on Nat Geo and was wearing a Michigan hat during some of the filming.  Since it's science-y, I'll post it here.

Seen at 2:04.

Meanwhile, the cosmetology professor at UofM discovered that dwarfs can look as big as planets with the right lighting and makeup.
