Lots of these things could add up to the extra unknown gravity source.

If it’s a third the size of Pluto than it’s not a pl;anet but a planetoid, right?

“This means that groundbreaking discoveries aren’t limited to those with access to the world’s largest telescopes.

The way I read the article, the data come from the world's largest telescopes. The new thing here is making the data available in a secondary (and free) market to interested parties other than the original researchers who paid for the telescope time. As an amateur, you get what you get ... but there's a LOT of what you can get posted on the interwebz.

Interesting. But of the news category that, rather than astounding, it’s more of hmmm.

“Just” = eight years ago.
Alrighty then…

(Yeah, I know they spend years analyzing data to predict and confirm such things, but I hate it when articles do this click bait crap with headlines.)

A distant, icy world has just been added to our solar system’s official roster, and its strange orbit might challenge one of the biggest space mysteries of our time. According to a study published on arXiv, the object—known as 2017 OF201—is not just any distant rock. It’s a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) that could potentially be classified as a dwarf planet, orbiting the Sun once every 25,000 years.

How is that any different than Pluto????

Put Pluto back on the list!!!!

This one actually makes it TEN then.

“2017 OF201”

🤔

Color me suspicious.

If this were a numbered lithograph, it sure would have ‘sketchy’ written all over it.

It’s orbit takes it an order of magnitude further from the sun than the Voyager probes? That’s out there!

I’m looking forward to how “AI” will be used to go through all the archival data and identify additional items like this in a very short time.

I hope nothing bumps into 2017 OF201 that changes its elliptical orbit to set up a disastrous chain reaction threatening Earth. I hope the scientists are looking at that possibility.
