Astronomers identify farthest known object in Solar System
A group of astronomers have identified the farthest known object ever discovered in the Solar System, nicknamed 'Farout'. The object, provisionally termed '2018 VG18', is 120 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun. "Because 2018 VG18 is so distant, it orbits very slowly, likely taking more than 1,000 years to take one trip around the Sun," astronomers said.
