📅 Join us for a 30-minute live conversation with astronomer Dr. Rosemary E. Pike, lead author of a groundbreaking new study that reveals the discovery of a rare and distant object orbiting in resonance with Neptune. Hosted by Beth Johnson of the SETI Institute, this stream will explore the science behind this unusual trans-Neptunian object, what it tells us about the early solar system, and why its orbital alignment is so surprising.
📌 What you'll learn:
How the object was discovered
What it means to be in a 1:1 resonance with Neptune
Why this object challenges current solar system models
What it could reveal about unseen planets or the migration history of the outer planets
🛰️ Bring your questions for a live Q&A with Dr. Pike as we dive into the edges of our cosmic neighborhood!
