WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A team of US astronomers has discovered the farthest point of the solar system, located at a distance one hundred times greater than that of the Sun and Earth, reported Wednesday the NBC network.
Astronomers have spotted the small purple planet called Far Out with the help of an 8-meter Japanese telescope located in Hawaii, United States.
Scientists were able to capture the first image of the far-off planet on November 10, 2018 and were then confirmed a second time earlier this month by the Magellan Telescope at the Karzai Observatory in Las Campanas, Chile.
Scientists Scott Scott have reached this discovery. Sheppard of Carnegie University, David Tullin of the University of Hawaii and other astronomers from the University of Trujillo, in northern Arizona.
"The name has a double meaning," said Sheppard, referring to the designation of the planet. "When I saw the planet for the first time, it was noisy: very far away."
