New Dwarf Planet 2026 ED138
Hey everyone,
For a small body space scientist, who focuses on objects smaller than planets and larger than atoms this is exciting: a new dwarf planet, found by Rubin Observatory. According to NASA JPL Horizons system it is currently 47.2 AU away at a brightness of around 19 mag.
Fun fact: it was found that this object was observed, but not discovered back in 1937. Insane...
So I made a quick comprehensive short about it. The science part will take some time: 2026 ED138 (https://youtube.com/shorts/4p6ni-bcyCE)
