At 5 billion km from the Sun (equal to approximately 33 astronomical units or 33 times farther from the Sun than the Earth) there exists two dwarf planets, within a region of space known as the Kuiper Belt (way out past Neptune).

The dwarf planets are known formally as: 1) 136108 Haumea

2) 136472 Makemake

They were discovered in 2004 and 2005 by astronomists and were given names from gods in Hawaiian mythology.
