Discover a mysterious pink object orbiting the sun

LONDON (Reuters) – A team of astronomers announced Monday the discovery of the world's longest known body with the help of a telescope placed above Mona Kia, Hawaii.

The body, called "2018 VG18" and called Farout or Far, revolves around 120 solar units of the sun. (An astronomical unit is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, approximately 93 million miles).

The body, which is still largely mysterious, is also more than 22 billion kilometers from the second known object, another dwarf the size of Pluto, called Eris.

"All we know now about this body, it's its maximum distance to the sun, its approximate diameter, its color, and because it's too far away, it's going very slowly, it'll probably take longer 1,000 years, "said David Thullin, astronomer at the University of Hawaii. Go around the sun. "

The newly discovered body is pink and perhaps spherical – like Pluto.
