martinezlaura+FollowMeet the Solar System’s Newest WeirdoA wild new dwarf planet just joined our Solar System fam! 2017 OF201 is so far out, it takes 25,000 years to orbit the Sun—yep, you read that right. It’s only about a third the size of Pluto, but spotting it was a huge deal because it spends 99% of its time way too far to see. Scientists think there could be hundreds more like it hiding out there, and this discovery might even mess with the whole Planet 9 theory. Space is full of surprises! #SpaceNews #SolarSystem #Astronomy #Planet9 #Science20Share
