Rubin Observatory Identifies Potential New Dwarf Planet Beyond Pluto

Rubin Observatory Identifies Potential New Dwarf Planet Beyond Pluto

Astronomers using the Vera C. Rubin Observatory announced that they have identified a distant object, designated 2026 ED138, which may meet the criteria for a dwarf planet. Earlier reports from CNA, ABC17NEWS, Space and Mirage News described the same trans-Neptunian object and noted that further measurements are required to determine whether it qualifies as a dwarf planet.
