Distante 3 volte più di Plutone (15.4 miliardi di km), v774104 infrange il record di Eris e diventa l’oggetto trans-nettuniano più lontano. L’annuncio è stato fatto l’altroieri durante il meeting della divisione planetaria dell'”American Astronomical Society” (DPS15) da Scott Sheppard, astronomo della Carnegie. L’oggetto in questione dista ben 103 unità astronomiche dal Sole, contro le 97 di…
