Astronomers discovered a large new body of the solar system located ahead of Pluto orbit. The odd orbit orbit of the item suggests that if there is “Planet Nine”, it is more than the day’s thinking of all the planet’s system.
The odd orbit of the object, was appointed 2023 kq14 ANd called “Ammonite,” Classified it as a “Sednoid.” Sednoids are bodies beyond the orbit of Giant Gait Neptuneis known to be Trans-Neptunian years (TNOS), characterized by a more attractive (non-tire) orbit and a distant nearest way of day or “perihelon.”
The nearest distance 2023 kQ14 The arrival of our star corresponds to 71 times in the distance between the earth and the sun. The Sednoid was estimated to be estimated to be between 136 and 236 miles (220 and 380 km) wide. That makes it 45 times higher than the mount Everest length.
It is the only fourth known Sednnoid, and its orbit is different from these siblings, even if it is a steady in 4.5 billion years. However the team behind discovery, made with Subaru Telescope As part of the outer solar system formation: an Icy heritage (fossil) Surbi, thinking that all four sednoids are in the same orbits at about 4.2 billion years ago. That means a dramatic thing that occurs along the solar system about 400 million years after birth.
Not only the fact that 2023 kQ14 Now follows a unique orbit suggested that the outer solar system is more complicated and varied than before, but also puts the limits of a hypothetical “Planet nine“Acknowledge the edge of the solar system.
“THE FIRST 2023 KQ14Current orbit current orbit does not align with three sednoids lowers the possibility of planet nine hypothesis, “Team Leader Yukun Huang of the National Astronomical Ofvivatory of Japan A statement says. “It is possible to have a planet that has previously existed in SOLL System But later gets later, causing unusual orbits we’ve seen today. “
Hello 2023 kq14. Good Planet nine?
2023 KQ14 The first found in the telescope of the Subaru telescope, located in the Munician Volcano in Hawaii, in observations collected in March, May, and August 2023.
Sednoid confirmed using TriScope-France-Hawaii Telescope with follow-up observations taken in July 2024.
This data is combined with archival data from other observatus, astronomers allowed to rebuild orbit 2023 kQ14 In the last 19 years.
But it is a heavenly body that is likely to be formed as planets in SOLL System Shaping around the baby’s day about 4.6 billion years ago. Thus, astronomers want to change the story of the orbit a little longer than two decades.
To do this, Huang and their computer cluster companions run by Japan’s National Astronomical Observatory to make the complex simulations in number. It reveals orbital strength of 2023 kQ14 Within 4.5 billion years and the implications of that steady orbit.
“2023 KQ14 found in a region away from where Neptune’s gravity has a small influence, “said the team member with ordinates in this area during ancient times when 2023 kq14 formed.
“Understanding Ebital Evolution and Physical Properties with this unique, distant matters is important for understanding the whole history of the solar system.”
Yoshida added that, at the moment, the telescope of Subaru is one of the world’s telescopes capable of discovering as 2023 kQ14.
“I am happy when the fossil team can do many discoveries like this and help attract a complete picture of the solar system,” Yoshida concluded.
Team research was published on Monday (July 14), In the nature journal of nature.
