Quaoar (50000 Quaoar), is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, a region of icy planetesimals beyond Neptune. A non-resonant object (cubewano), it measures approximately 1,121 km (697 mi) in diameter, about half the diameter of Pluto. The object was discovered by American astronomers Chad Trujillo and Michael Brown at the Palomar Observatory on 4 June 2002. Signs of water ice on the surface of Quaoar have been found, which suggests that cryovolcanism may be occurring on Quaoar. A small amount of methane is present on its surface, which can only be retained by the largest Kuiper belt objects.
In February 2007, Weywot, a synchronous moon in orbit around Quaoar, was discovered by Brown. Weywot is measured to be 170 km (110 mi) across. Both objects were named after mythological figures from the Native American Tongva people in Southern California. Quaoar is the Tongva creator deity and Weywot is his son.

Okay finally got something:
It was a dark and stormy night. Joseph Stalin, the dictator of the Soviet Union, was lying in bed, thinking about the day's events. He had just finished a meeting with his top advisors, and they had all agreed that the Soviet Union needed to expand its territory. Stalin was sure that he could get the approval of the Soviet people, but he was not confident about how he would deal with the opposition. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise outside his window. He got out of bed and went to see what was happening. Stalin saw a huge plane flying toward the Soviet Union. He knew that it was going to crash into the Kremlin, and he was afraid that it would kill him. He ran back to his bed and hid under the covers. The plane crashed into the Kremlin, and Stalin survived
this is fake news
jet fuel can't melt man of steel
Or at least not his mighty blanket.
lol this is actually fantastic holy shit
I think the hidden gold is that he saw from the Kremlin that a plane was flying towards the Soviet Union. Stalin had Eagle Vision
The man of steel used his eagle vision to spot the danger, then sought refuge in his mighty resting fortress.
The Blanket Bunker. The safest feeling shelter.
