Summary

Description
English: Two-frame animation of dwarf planet Sedna (arrow) photographed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) on 11 and 12 October 2005, showing its slow movement across the sky. Each frame is a color composite made by additively blending three 54-second exposures, each in the g (blue), r (green), and i (red) filters. Sedna appears noticeably yellowish-brownish in the images because of its "red" surface. The image is rotated to the standard orientation of North up and East left.
