Astronomers have discovered a new distant object, 2023 KQ14, or Ammonite, which challenges existing models of the solar system's outer regions and provides new clues in the search for a potential hidden planet, possibly Planet Nine, by analyzing its unique orbit far beyond Neptune.
Astronomers have discovered a new dwarf planet called Ammonite beyond Pluto, which challenges the existing Planet Nine hypothesis by its unusual orbit, suggesting the possibility that such a large planet may not exist or was ejected from the solar system.
Japan's National Astronomical Observatory discovered a new object beyond Pluto, named 2023 KQ14 or 'Ammonite', which challenges the existing Planet 9 hypothesis by its orbit, suggesting a different history of the solar system. The discovery was made using the Subaru Telescope and follow-up observations, and it may imply that a planet once existed but was ejected. The International Astronomical Union will officially name the object.
A new distant object, 2023 KQ14, was discovered beyond Pluto, challenging existing theories about Planet Nine and revealing greater complexity in the outer Solar System's history and structure.
Astronomers discovered a distant object named 'Ammonite' beyond Pluto, which is only the fourth sednoid found, challenging previous ideas about the solar system's outer regions and the existence of Planet Nine.
Astronomers in Japan have discovered a distant object named Ammonite beyond Neptune, which is part of a group called Sednoids that have elongated orbits. This discovery challenges the hypothesis of a ninth planet influencing these objects, suggesting a more complex history of the solar system. Ammonite's orbit and characteristics provide insights into the early solar system and its evolution.
Astronomers have discovered a new distant object called 2023 KQ14 or 'Ammonite' beyond Pluto, which has an unusual orbit that challenges the existence or location of the hypothesized 'Planet Nine' and suggests a more complex history of the outer solar system.
A new object named Ammonite, estimated to be between 220 and 380 kilometers in diameter, has been discovered in the outer reaches of our Solar System, providing insights into the early history and dynamics of the solar neighborhood. Its orbit suggests it has been stable for over 4.5 billion years and may challenge the existence of Planet Nine, offering clues about the forces shaping the distant solar system.
The Subaru Telescope discovered a new distant object, 2023 KQ14, classified as a sednoid, which provides new insights into the complexity and history of the outer solar system and challenges existing theories about Planet Nine.
Astronomers have discovered a new object called Ammonite (2023 KQ14), a sednoid orbiting far beyond Pluto, which challenges the hypothesis of a ninth planet in the solar system by exhibiting an orbit different from other sednoids, suggesting possible past planetary ejections.
