Alleged New Dwarf Planet Discovered

The new candidate dwarf planet discovered is located far beyond the orbit of the planet Neptune, it is at least 700 km in diameter, it is supposed to be spherical, although we still have little data, a year on this small world, that is, what it takes to orbit the Sun lasts 25,000 Earth years, that is a beast for you to have a reference, that is a little more than 100 times what it takes Pluto to orbit the Sun, the year in Pluto lasts about 248 Earth years. The team of researchers discovered this dwarf planet candidate while carefully analyzing archival data from the white telescopes in Chile and the telescope in Hawaii managed by Canada, France and the University of Hawaii. The researchers tracked the movement of the object through 19 sets of images that spanned a total of 7 years. Its orbit is very extreme. Its closest point to the Sun is about 45 astronomical units. Now this discovered dwarf planet or presumed discovered dwarf planet is located twice that distance at about 90 astronomical units but its furthest point from the Sun is 1600 astronomical units, that is, it leaves the limits of the influence of the solar wind, the Heliopause, of what is considered the atmosphere of the sun and enters the interstellar environment, although it does not obviously leave the gravitational influence of the Sun.

This very elongated orbit suggests very complex gravitational interactions, on the one hand, with Neptune, which is the most distant planet in the solar system, but also gravitational interactions with the nucleus of the Milky Way. In fact, researchers believe that this object must have had a quite complex life, first it was expelled to the Oor cloud, which is the most distant region of our solar system, home to billions of comets, and then returned or pushed until it approached the orbit of Pluto. We still don't know why it was pushed, perhaps it was due to the passage of a star very close to the solar system or perhaps other types of events, to give you an idea of ​​how difficult it is to discover this type of object, researchers say that 2017 OF2001, this would-be dwarf planet, spends only 1% of its orbital time close enough to us to be detected, that is, 99% of the time it spends in its orbit could not be detected with current technology. This 1% data suggests that there could easily be a hundred objects like it with similar or even larger orbits and sizes, but that we cannot detect because they are simply too far away to be captured, the newly discovered object could also question the theories of planet 9, we must wait for new findings and discoveries.
