#Astronomers surveying the outer solar system have revealed that a rare object far beyond #Neptune is moving in sync with the eighth planet in an unexpected way. Called 2020 VN40 and first discovered in 2020, it takes 1,655 Earth-years to orbit the sun. The news comes just weeks after 2023 KQ14 — nicknamed “Ammonite” — was found beyond Neptune and #Pluto. Together, these newly found objects change the way astronomers think distant objects move and how the #solarsystem evolved. Read more at the link in our bio. (Photo: Corbis via Getty Images)
