  2. List of possible dwarf planets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_possible_dwarf_planets

    The number of dwarf planets in the Solar System is unknown. Estimates have run as high as 200 in the Kuiper belt [1] and over 10,000 in the region beyond. [2] However, consideration of the surprisingly low densities of many large trans-Neptunian objects, as well as spectroscopic analysis of their surfaces, suggests that the number of dwarf planets may be much lower, perhaps only nine among ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_UZ224

    2014 UZ 224 is a trans-Neptunian object and possible dwarf planet orbiting in the scattered disc of the outermost Solar System. As of 2021, it is approximately 89.7 AU (13.42 billion km) from the Sun, and will slowly decrease in distance until it reaches its perihelion of 38 AU in 2142.

    The planet KMT-2020-BLG-0414Lb is close in mass to Earth and is one of the least massive exoplanets detected by microlensing. [2] It is about twice as far from its star as Earth is from the Sun. The second companion, KMT-2020-BLG-0414Lc, is a brown dwarf about 30 times the mass of Jupiter .

    The newly-found ETNO joins Sedna, a dwarf planet believed to be about 250 AU from the sun, as objects residing outside the Kuiper Belt, where Pluto resides, according to Space.

  6. Backyard Worlds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backyard_Worlds

    Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 is a NASA-funded citizen science project which is part of the Zooniverse web portal. [1] It aims to discover new brown dwarfs, faint objects that are less massive than stars, some of which might be among the nearest neighbors of the Solar System, and might conceivably detect the hypothesized Planet Nine.

  7. List of natural satellites - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_natural_satellites

    Of the Solar System's eight planets and its nine most likely dwarf planets, six planets and seven dwarf planets are known to be orbited by at least 300 natural satellites, or moons. At least 19 of them are large enough to be gravitationally rounded; of these, all are covered by a crust of ice except for Earth's Moon and Jupiter's Io. [1]

  8. 541132 Leleākūhonua - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/541132_Leleākūhonua

    Along with the similar orbits of other distant trans-Neptunian objects, the orbit of Leleākūhonua suggests, but does not prove, the existence of a hypothetical Planet Nine in the outer Solar System. [5] [12] As of 2019, the object is inbound 78 AU from the Sun; [9] about two-and-a-half times farther out than Pluto's current location. [13]

  9. List of potentially habitable exoplanets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_potentially...

    Several other planets, such as Gliese 180 b, also appear to be examples of planets once considered potentially habitable but later found to be interior to the habitable zone. [ 1 ] Similarly, Tau Ceti e and f were initially both considered potentially habitable, [ 67 ] but with improved models of the circumstellar habitable zone, as of 2022 PHL ...
