The discovery of dwarf planet #2017OF201 (indeed, we urgently need a real name for it!) make us think in the existence of a lost population of eccentric Pluto-sized bodies, perhaps casting doubt on the existence of

La detección, realizada con técnicas computacionales avanzadas, podría transformar nuestra comprensión sobre la región más lejana y enigmática que rodea al Sol. #tno #planeta #sistemasolar #2017OF201 mysteryplanet.com.ar/site/primo-d...
As one avenue to Planet 9 closes so another one could open, this latest object will help some theories while quash others, such is the beauty of Science.
And do not anthropomorphise Pluto, it's just a minor planet, not a sad puppy being demoted […]
A ~500-km-sized object has been discovered (on old images) in the far reaches of the solar system - the orbit of #2017OF201 has a semi-major axis of 880 au and an eccentricity of 0.95 and thus a perihelion at 45 au: minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K25/K25... and groups.io/g/mpml/topic...
