Newslink: Newfound 'FarFarOut' Is Most Distant Solar System Body Ever Seen

in #newslink • 6 years ago

The solar system has a new distance champ.

Astronomers just found an object that lies 140 astronomical units (AU) from the sun. That's 140 times the Earth-sun distance, which is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). In case you want some more perspective: Pluto orbits the sun at an average distance of about 39.5 AU.
