SenrokaiandClaude Opus 5.5 acc4b928f2 Say that Makemake's day is known only to a factor of two, citing both readings
f655a4c kept Makemake's SBDB period, 22.83 hours, saying "nothing later overturns it", a reading
its author had not checked. The SBDB flags that period as Eris's was ("may be wrong by 30 percent
or so"). Hromakina et al. 2019 give 22.8266 h as the double-peaked period a "possible lightcurve
asymmetry suggests", of a light curve that repeats every 11.4 h. Kiss et al. 2024 (arXiv:2410.22544),
with TESS and Gaia, find the 11.401 +/- 0.076 h single peak again, "cannot confirm that the
double-peaked 22.8 h is Makemake's true rotation period", and take 11.4 h as their default.

Nothing is changed in what is drawn: the literature does not settle which it is, and 22.83 stays as
the SBDB's. The Makemake spec now cites both papers and says the drawn day may be twice the real
one, and the renderer's comment no longer calls the three dwarf planets' periods known.
