| Proper Name | Goibniu | | Minor Planet Designation | 90568 Goibniu | | Provisional Designation | 2004 GV9 | | Orbital Period | 273 years, 321 days | | Distance from the Sun | Semi-Major Axis: 6,254,476,000 km (41.81 AU) Perihelion: 5,779,126,000 km (38.63 AU) Aphelion: 6,729,825,000 km (44.99 AU)
| | Eccentricity | 0.0760 | | Rotation Period | 5 hours, 52 minutes | | Diameter | 680 km | | Moons | None known | | Parent star | The Sun, yellow dwarf | | Other planets in this system | Mercury, terrestrial planet Venus, terrestrial planet Earth, terrestrial planet Mars, terrestrial planet Jupiter, gas giant Saturn, gas giant Uranus, ice giant Neptune, ice giant Numerous dwarf planets, asteroids and other bodies
| | Notes | A cubewano, one of the class of objects that circle the Sun in the far reaches of the Solar System beyond the orbit of Neptune. Goibniu appears to be a spherical body with a patterned surface, and is considered likely to fall within the parameters of a dwarf planet. |
This rendering is based on the current best estimate for the appearance dwarf planet Goibniu. With a diameter of some 680 kilometres, the planetoid is likely to be essentially spherical in form, and its surface appears to be patterned with lighter, more reflective regions.
