They have found the secret planet of the Solar System
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has made a significant discovery of a new icy celestial body, potentially the sixth dwarf planet in the solar system, located beyond Pluto. Named 2026 ED138, this object is among the largest and brightest ever found in the vicinity of Earth. Astronomers Mario Jurić and Matthew Holman presented the findings, noting that such a large object, approximately 1000 kilometers in diameter, is a rare find. The observatory, operational since summer, conducts a comprehensive survey of the southern sky every three days, generating vast amounts of data to aid in cosmic research. The discovery's significance is underscored by its location in a star-rich area of the Milky Way, and further studies will determine if ED138 qualifies as a dwarf planet based on its size and gravitational properties.
