![]() The first photographic plate that shows Quaoar is from 1954 05 25.18958 (, 04:33 UT at Pasadena). The chart for the last plate, which confirmed the discovery, is below ( bigger): Whichever time one uses, for either the first or the last plate, the discovery chart will show basically the same aspects, though the houses will be different. Quaoar was discovered from three pre-covery plates on, the last plate being taken at 1:42 am PDT (in astronomical records, the time was 2002 06 04.36255, which translates to 08:42 UT) in Pasadena, CA. This one – Quaoar – was also known as Chinigchinix to the Tongva people. They are all fascinating little worlds and add richly to our astrological catalog and practice. Some of the other named such bodies in the solar system that are dwarf planet candidates are Ixion, Salacia, Chaos, Varuna, Varda, and possibly Huya. There are no doubt many more such bodies, and then there are 19 moons of the major planets that are thought to be captured dwarf planets. There are now nine named planetary bodies in the solar system that are firmly classified as dwarf planets – Ceres, Pluto, Eris, Makemake, Haumea, Orcus, Gonggong, Sedna and the one we will consider here – Quaoar. ![]()
