V774104: Most Distant Object In The Solar System Identified

Think Pluto is far away? Think again! Researchers have just discovered an icy world — designated V774104 — a ‘Mini-Pluto’ which is about 103 times farther away from the sun than Earth. V774104 is three times farther away than Pluto is, a new record for the most distant object ever seen in the solar system. The record for the ‘most distant object in the solar system’ was previously held by the dwarf planet Eris, which is 97 AU from the Sun — 1 AU is the distance between Earth and the sun.
