A newly discovered dwarf planet called 'Ammonite' (2023 KQ14) has been spotted in the outer solar system, and it could be ...

Would one frozen world, just visible on the rim of the Sun’s kingdom, turn decades of speculation on the concealed layout of ...

Astronomers have found 2023 KQ14, nicknamed Ammonite, a rare sednoid with a unique orbit that challenges the Planet Nine hypothesis.

The celestial body's unusual orbit “implies that something extraordinary occurred" in the early days of the solar system—and ...

A tiny object far beyond Pluto, newly discovered by the Subaru Telescope, could reshape our understanding of the early Solar System. Named 2023 KQ14, this rare “sednoid” follows an unusual orbit that ...

Japan's Subaru Telescope in Hawaii detected a faint, icy body. Now named 2023 KQ14, or Ammonite, it lies well beyond Pluto.

According to study co-author Dr Fumi Yoshida, Neptune is the only known massive object near the outer Solar System that could ...

For reference, Pluto’s average distance from the Sun is about 40 AU, so 2023 KQ14 is quite distant. At 23.4 billion miles (37 ...

Astronomers have discovered a "fossil" world lying in the outskirts of the solar system, according to new research.

“The fact that 2023 KQ14’s current orbit does not align with those of the other three sednoids lowers the likelihood of the Planet Nine hypothesis,” said Huang in a press release. “It is possible that ...

Typically, telescopes are synonymous with bringing far-off objects close, but the newest member of the solar system was ...
