On January 15, 2018, using the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii, astronomers discovered the most distant celestial object ever observed in our Solar System, named 2018 AG37, nicknamed “FarFarout”.
FarFarout is located at about 132 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun. One astronomical unit (AU) represents the mean distance between the Sun and the Earth.
Farfarout’s distance from the Sun fluctuates depending on its elongated orbit. The closest it can get to the Sun is 27au whereas the farthest it reaches is 175au.
Being so far from the sun, it takes about 1000 years to complete one orbit around the sun and therefore, it now holds the record for farthest object observed in our solar system.
FarFarout is 6 times smaller than Pluto and has a likely spherical shape which makes it a dwarf Planet.
