Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are icy bodies that vary widely in size, from large dwarf planets like Pluto and Eris—each ...

Scientists at NASA for the first time have been able to observe the make up of Pluto and other small and icy celestial bodies ...

Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) are celestial bodies located in the outer solar system, beyond the orbit of Neptune. This region, known as the Kuiper Belt, is home to a diverse array of icy bodies ...

The most convincing argument for Planet Nine is based on the extremely eccentric orbital motions of Extreme Trans-Neptunian Objects (ETNOs). These remote objects show a gravitational behavior that ...

The organic material found in a few areas on the surface of dwarf planet Ceres is probably of exogenic origin. Impacting asteroids from the outer asteroid belt may have brought it with them. In the ...

Dec. 19, 2024 — New studies offer a clearer picture of how the outer solar system formed and evolved based on analyses of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and centaurs. The findings reveal the ...

Albeit several of other celestial bodies such as Comet ISON and trans-Neptunian bodies (Eris and Sedna) have been wrongly associated with Nibiru based on their orbits and shapes. These objects are ...

To understand the discrepancy, the researchers considered a scenario around four billion years ago when a star-sized alien object ... the asteroid belt and the trans-Neptunian belts".

While no telescope has caught a direct glimpse of it yet, its gravitational fingerprints are hard to miss, offering clues to long-standing riddles surrounding trans-Neptunian objects. This ...

Dec. 19, 2024 — New studies offer a clearer picture of how the outer solar system formed and evolved based on analyses of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and centaurs. The findings reveal the ...

In recent years, researchers have found such molecules at great distances from the sun: on trans-Neptunian objects, comets, and far-away asteroids. These bodies are thought to be largely unaltered ...
