Discovery of the Ammonite, a cosmic fossil that challenges Planet Nine
86A new celestial body called Ammonite, located beyond Neptune, is shaking up theories about the existence of a ninth planet in the Solar System. It is a sednoid—a rare type of trans-Neptunian object—with a highly elliptical orbit ranging from 66 to 432 astronomical units. The discovery suggests that something extraordinary occurred in the formation of the Solar System, perhaps a passing star or a hidden planet.
“Ammonite’s orbit tells us that something sculpted the outer solar system very early on.” —Shiang-Yu Wang, Taiwan Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics.
