Rubin Observatory Spots New Dwarf Planet Candidate
Original: New Dwarf Planet Candidate in Our Solar System
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has announced a new dwarf planet candidate in our solar system, identified during its early survey operations. The object, located in the distant outer solar system, would join the small group of dwarf planets including Pluto and Eris if confirmed. Astronomers say the discovery demonstrates the observatory's power to map the solar system in unprecedented detail.
Why now: The Rubin Observatory's first results are drawing attention as it begins a new era of wide-field sky surveys.
