Humanity knows its own planet pretty well, but we are as green as chives when it comes to the knowledge of space. Today, though, we have made at least a little step towards knowing more about our surroundings. A group of astronomers who have been busy looking for the hypothetical Planet X, a large space object supposedly lying on the outskirts of our solar system, have accidentally found something else. This finding, a dwarf planet with roughly 550 kilometers-long diameter, have been christened as 2018 VG18, or Farout (English play on words that can mean either ”cool, surprising” or ”far away”). The planet's surface has a violet-ish colour to it, which suggests that it is covered with ice. The planette moves very slowly - it is hypothesized that circling the Sun takes it around one thousand years.
I wonder if the aliens there also have problems with Facebook leaks and exploding smartphones.
