Kuiper Belt Object Found Possibly As Large As Pluto's Moon

The May 22, 2001, discovery image for the large Kuiper Belt Object 2001 KX76 was produced by combining two exposures from the 4-meter Blanco Telescope at CTIO in such a way that moving objects appear as red-colored pairs of images. 2001 KX76 is the bright red-cyan pair of dots at the center of the picture. Non-moving objects, such as stars and galaxies, appear white in the picture.
