Just yesterday there was another article about an object between Uranus and Neptune in a 3:4 resonance with Uranus.

It takes Neptune 168 years to complete an orbit. That means it takes this object 1680 years to complete its orbit. To say that things in the outer Solar System move at a leisurely pace is quite the understatement.

As big as the Sun is, it’s hard to believe that its gravity is strong enough to capture and hold celestial bodies that are so far away. It’s quite amazing.

Our solar system is just a big clock, infected with humans.
