The dwarf planet is usually difficult to detect because they poorly reflect light.
Beyond the orbit of Neptune planetary scientists have discovered another small planet from the Sun located about 120 times further away than the Earth, it is a new record among the minor planets in order of distance from the star.
Scientists in recent years discovered a few objects and large dwarf planets in the Solar system, located at the remote distance, it makes clear that the orbits of Pluto and Neptune there is a large celestial body.
In particular, scientists from the canadian University of Victoria, with the assistance of the CFHT telescope installed in Hawaii, beyond the orbit of Neptune discovered on earth 2015 RR24. According to the researchers, the diameter of this planet-700 kilometres around the Sun she revolves in an elongated orbit.
On this planet one year lasts for 730 earth years. With the name of the planet, scientists have not yet determined, it is necessary to clarify how 2015 RR24 moves in its orbit.
Also, scientists don’t know anything yet about the shape and the chemical composition of that planet, that they plan to do in the near future. The dwarf planet are helping scientists to uncover the history of the Solar system, but they are very small and dim to be seen.
But the scientists were lucky, because they were able to detect quite large and bright object, which they will be able to study the details.
