List of the most distant astronomical objects. Appearance. JADES-GS-z13-0 is a distant galaxy. This article documents the most distant astronomical objects discovered and verified so far, and the time periods in which they were so classified. For comparisons with the light travel distance of the astronomical objects listed below, the age of the ...
List of Solar System objects most distant from the Sun. Positions of known outer Solar System objects. Sun. Jupiter trojans (6,178) Scattered disc (>300) Giant planets: J · S · U · N. Centaurs (44,000) Kuiper belt (>1,000) (scale in AU; epoch as of January 2015; # of objects in parentheses) These Solar System minor planets are the furthest ...
Communication system. [edit] The radio communication system of Voyager 1 was designed to be used up to and beyond the limits of the Solar System. It has a 3.7-metre (12 ft) diameter high-gain Cassegrain antenna to send and receive radio waves via the three Deep Space Network stations on the Earth. [ 21 ]
GN-z10-1, [4] GNS-JD2 [3] GN-z11 is a high-redshift galaxy found in the constellation Ursa Major. It is among the farthest known galaxies from Earth ever discovered. [5][6] The 2015 discovery was published in a 2016 paper headed by Pascal Oesch and Gabriel Brammer (Cosmic Dawn Center). Up until the discovery of JADES-GS-z13-0 in 2022 by the ...
2018 AG37 is a distant trans-Neptunian object and centaur that was discovered 132.2 ± 1.5 AU (19.78 ± 0.22 billion km) from the Sun, [8] farther than any other currently observable known object in the Solar System. [3][9] Imaged in January 2018 during a search for the hypothetical Planet Nine, [10] the confirmation of this object was ...
486958 Arrokoth (provisional designation 2014 MU 69; formerly nicknamed Ultima Thule [a]) is a trans-Neptunian object located in the Kuiper belt.Arrokoth became the farthest and most primitive object in the Solar System visited by a spacecraft when the NASA space probe New Horizons conducted a flyby on 1 January 2019.
The faint object has a visual magnitude of 24.64, comparable to the visual magnitudes of Pluto's smaller moons. [ 11 ] [ 19 ] It was initially estimated to be 300 km (190 mi) in diameter under the assumption of an albedo of 0.15, [ 7 ] though observations of a single-chord stellar occultation at Penticton, Canada on 20 October 2018 suggested a ...
The orbit of Sedna (red) set against the orbits of outer Solar System objects (Pluto's orbit is purple). This is a list of Solar System objects by greatest aphelion or the greatest distance from the Sun that the orbit could take it if the Sun and object were the only objects in the universe. It is implied that the object is orbiting the Sun in ...
