According to a report by Digital Trends, late last year, a team of astronomers discovered what was then the most distant body observed in our solar system, nicknamed FarOut, while searching for the mysterious Planet Nine. Now, the team has reportedly discovered an even more distant object they have dubbed "FarFarOut." Astronomer Scott Sheppard found himself with located an object which is a massive 140 times further away from the sun then the Earth is, or 140 astronomical units. Digital Trends reports that is approximately 3.5 times the distance from the sun as Pluto, and further than FarOut’s distance of 120 AU. https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/farfarout-distant-object-solar-system/ http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

Ceres is the largest so-called asteroid within the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. First discovered in 1801, this England-sized dwarf planet may be small, but it has been labelled by scientists as a "chemical factory"; and a 2017 discovery found that the planet does indeed have several key ingredients for carbon-based primitive life as we know it. With upwards of 200M KM of water, and a vapour-rich atmosphere, Ceres may well be home to, or have been home to, very primitive species of life. So, what are we waiting for?

This series has been great, and I've learned so much about the universe while making these 12 episodes, and I've also learned incredible amounts about what it takes to be a good YouTuber with such high returns on episodes like the Bootes Void and the CMB Cold Spot. Space is now a key part of my channel, and will be for the foreseeable future- potentially forever. I can't wait to see what 2019 holds for the channel- and I'm willing to bet space and space videos, especially OOTW, will be an absolutely essential component in achieving whatever goals may come in the year ahead. Until then, happy new year, and thank you for watching and enjoying this series that is such a pleasure for me to produce. - Sam

For the first time, an object in our solar system has been found more than 100 times farther than Earth is from the sun.

It's believed to be the farthest known object in our solar system.

The small club of known dwarf planets orbiting our sun, which controversially includes Pluto, has just added another member. The International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center announced Oct. 2 that researchers have discovered a new dwarf planet, 2015 TG387, that is roughly 186 miles across and likely made of ice. Owing to its discovery near Halloween on Oct. 13, 2015, the research team nicknamed the new object "the Goblin." "We think there could be thousands of small bodies like 2015 TG387 out on the Solar System’s fringes, but their distance makes finding them very difficult," David Tholen, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii, said in a press release. https://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/space/blogs/dwarf-planet-goblin-discovered-edge-our-solar-system http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

Original air date: Friday, Sept. 7 at 11 a.m. PT (2 p.m. ET, 1800 UTC) Join JPL for a Science Chat to talk about the role of the agency's Dawn spacecraft in studying the beginning of our solar system, and the approaching end of its 11-year mission. Participants include: Jim Green, NASA chief scientist Carol Raymond, Dawn principal investigator at JPL Marc Rayman, Dawn mission director and chief engineer at JPL Follow us on your favorite social media platforms for updates @NASAJPL.

NASA’s Dawn spacecraft turned science fiction into science fact by using ion propulsion to explore the two largest bodies in the main asteroid belt, Vesta and Ceres. The mission will end this fall, when the spacecraft runs out of hydrazine, which keeps it oriented and in communication with Earth. For more info on the mission, visit https://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov

In several craters on dwarf planet Ceres, bright water ice deposits have been observed by Dawn's framing camera. This finding suggests that water ice can be stored for significant amounts of time in cold, dark craters on Ceres. Such reservoirs are called "cold traps." At less than minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit (110 Kelvin), they are so chilly that very little of the ice turns into vapor in the course of a billion years. The color scale gives hydrogen content in water-equivalent units, which assumes all of the hydrogen is in the form of H2O. Blue indicates where hydrogen content is higher, near the poles, while red indicates lower content at lower latitudes. In reality, some of the hydrogen is in the form of water ice, while a portion of the hydrogen is in the form of hydrated minerals (such as OH, in serpentine group minerals). The color information is superimposed on shaded relief map for context.

Nasa's Dawn spacecraft has dipped closer than ever to Ceres, capturing the most detailed images yet of the mysterious bright spots on the dwarf planet. The latest images capture two giant craters up close, called Haulani (pictured) and Oxo. They show evidence the impacts that formed them are fresh - and even show the giant landslides at the crater's rim they caused.

On January 1, 1801, a Sicilian astronomer named Giuseppe Piazzi discovered the dwarf planet Ceres orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter. At the time, Ceres was considered to be a planet. But after astronomers found more things orbiting in the same region over the next few decades, they demoted Ceres and all those other objects to asteroid status. However, in 2006, the big debate about Pluto's planetary status led astronomers to redefine what it means to be a planet, and Ceres was reclassified as a dwarf planet along with. While it is the smallest of the known dwarf planets, it is the largest object in the asteroid belt.

NASA’s New Horizons mission revolutionized our knowledge of Pluto when it flew past that distant world in July 2015. Among its many discoveries were images of strange formations resembling giant blades of ice, whose origin had remained a mystery. Now, scientists have turned up a fascinating explanation for this “bladed terrain”: the structures are made almost entirely of methane ice, and likely formed as a specific kind of erosion wore away their surfaces, leaving dramatic crests and sharp divides.

Occator Crater on Ceres is home to the brightest area on the entire dwarf planet. At 57 miles (92 kilometers) wide and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) deep, Occator displays evidence of recent geologic activity. NASA's Dawn mission found that the bright spots may have been produced by upwelling of salt-rich liquids after the impact that formed the crater.

Learn all about the dwarf planet Orcus with this funky yet mellow groove. Orcus is a pretty mysterious dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt...we don't know that much about Orcus the dwarf planet yet, but what we do know, we put into a song for your enjoyment. Hope you like it! Lyrics: Orcus, the dwarf planet We don't really know that much about you yet The Kuiper Belt is where you're found Yet another dwarf discovered by Michael Brown Orcus, the dwarf planet We don't really know that much about you yet You're a trans-Neptunian plutino And here's a couple more things that we know Are you talkin' about orcas? Like killer whales? No, Orcus the dwarf planet! 90482 No it's not a ZIP code, it's the number that they gave you (Orcas) First spotted by the Palomar Observatory Just some background in case you haven't heard the story Michael Brown, Chad Trujillo And David Rabinowitz were like the Three Amigos They discovered this plutino in 2004 They named it Orcus after Etruscan folklore He was the god of the underworld, a bad dude Judging by his face, he was always in a bad mood But anyway, Orcus has one moon Called Vanth for the goddess of death (Sounds like fun, too) It's a plutino, that means it's bound By the gravity of Neptune as they both go around the Sun And Orcus takes a long time to make the trip 247 years (Really?) Legit! At over 600 miles across Orcus orbits the Sun like a Kuiper Belt boss! Orcus, the dwarf planet We don't really know that much about you yet The Kuiper Belt is where you're found Yet another dwarf discovered by Michael Brown Orcus, the dwarf planet We don't really know that much about you yet You're a trans-Neptunian plutino And that's pretty much what we know Copyright 2017 Silly School Songs.

See all the planets, plus mission updates from comet and asteroid missions Dawn and Rosetta. The Dawn mission is on its way to orbit the dwarf planet Ceres in 2015. Recently, observations by the Herschel Space Observatory found that Ceres has a thin water vapor atmosphere and is spewing jets of water out into space.

NASA's Dawn mission will be the first to explore a dwarf planet on March 6, 2015. This video details the spacecraft's approach and orbit insertion.

This animation, made using data from NASA's Dawn spacecraft, shows the topography of Occator crater on Ceres. Vertical relief has been stretched by a factor of 1.5 to better illustrate the crater's topography.

This Eris song is a fun way for kids to learn about the dwarf planet Eris. This song is full of facts about Eris, the tenth planet in our Solar System. For more info and music, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com. Lyrics: Eris you're a dwarf Named for the Greek goddess of discord Discovered in 2005 You're heavier than Pluto (but a little smaller in size!) 10th planet from the Sun Your moon is Dysnomia Your name is Eris (Number 2 dwarf in size, first in mass so it's really alright) Beyond the Kuiper Belt Where the Sun's barely felt Your name is Eris (You have a super-cold surface, -231 degrees Celsius) Eris your orbit's long 560 years to go around When you get closer to the Sun Your frozen atmosphere begins to thaw The place where you live Is called the Scattered Disk Your name is Eris (Yeah, you make your home where the icy minor planets roam) You're smaller than Earth's moon You're called a Trans-Neptunian OBJECT! (Or a TNO, with an orbit that's farther than Neptune's, yo!) Scientists think that you're made of rock You're hanging out in the most distant spot All the asteroids in the Kuiper Belt Could fit inside your dwarf planet self You're super-cold all night and day Because you're 8 billion miles away from the Sun Yeah Eris, you're the one And it's been fun Copyright 2017 Silly School Songs.

NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto was a success just in time for the international establishment to demote to a dwarf planet. According to CNEt, The new Horizons team is determined to have pluto reclassified. Kirby Runyon thinks that the word "planet" holds a psychological weight. "I want the public to fall in love with planetary exploration as I have," Runyon said. "It drives home the point of continued exploration." Even if a better process for defining a planet could encourage new research and exploration it's impossible to make everyone happ. the debate will continue to rage on so long as Pluto remains a martyr to the process. https://www.cnet.com/news/pluto-planet-new-horizons-alan-stern-iau-carolyn-porco/#ftag=CAD590a51e http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

Yes, the question of what makes a planet a "planet" is back in the news after a team of planetary scientists published a new paper challenging the status quo and arguing that Pluto should be a planet again. You may have thought this issue was settled back in 2006 but many problems exist with the current definition. We explain what's wrong with the current version, what this new paper proposes instead and the consequences of the change if it were to be accepted. ::More about this Video:: ► Runyon et al.

Now a new definition is being proposed that would restore Pluto while increasing the number of "planets" in our solar system to over 110." NASA Scientists Have Proposed a New Definition of Planets, and Pluto Could Soon Be Back http://www.sciencealert.com/nasa-scientists-have-proposed-a-new-definition-for-planets-and-it-could-change-everything "The key change the team is hoping to get approved is that cosmic bodies in our Solar System no longer need to be orbiting the Sun to be considered planets - they say we should be looking at their intrinsic physical properties, not their interactions with stars." Should Pluto Be a Planet After All? Experts Weigh In http://www.space.com/9553-pluto-planet-experts-weigh.html "Pluto was demoted to a newly created category, "dwarf planet," in 2006, partly because of the discovery a year earlier of Eris, another icy body from Pluto's neighborhood. Eris was thought to be bigger than Pluto until Nov. 6, when astronomers got a chance to recalculate Eris' size." ____________________ Seeker inspires us to see the world through the lens of science and evokes a sense of curiosity, optimism and adventure.

Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet in August 2006. A proposed change to the definition of "planet" could return it to its former status.
