Detailed explanation-1: -Originally designated 2003 EL61 (and nicknamed Santa by one discovery team), Haumea is located in the Kuiper Belt, a donut-shaped region of icy bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune.

Detailed explanation-2: -Observations of Haumea, however, reveal a brightly gleaming surface. Scientists have concluded that, though most of Haumea’s interior is rocky, it is covered by a thin icy shell. Haumea also appears to have a dark red spot on its surface that may contain more minerals and organic compounds than the ice around it.
