Planet Neptune: STUNNING Announcement, Secret Discovered by Researchers

The planet Neptune has revealed an astonishing discovery by researchers, here is what a huge secret they discovered while monitoring it from Earth.

Planet Neptune objects

Planet Neptune is at the center of a stunning and completely unexpected announcement from researchers who have been monitoring the celestial body for some time, they managed to come up with a first that no one thought possible. The planet Neptune has around 145 "Neptunian objects" discovered around it, some calling them planets, while others do not consider them big enough to have such an important title for a cosmic object.

Planet Neptune it is the fourth largest in our solar system, and the objects that have been discovered in its vicinity join the more than 70.000 that have already been observed by researchers. According to them, we are talking about objects that are near the planet Neptune, but still at the edge of our solar system, they are completely frozen because they are at such a great distance compared to the sun that warms us daily.

Planet Neptune is much larger than these objects, the ones discovered so far with diameters of approximately 100 kilometers, but these new ones would be somewhat larger. We are talking about more than 145 objects that are slightly larger than those that researchers have discovered so far, they are seen as small planets that are found close to the planet Neptune, but very far from Earth, which is somewhat expected .

"16 confirmed TNOs were found in the DES data. Of these, 145 are new objects that have not been discovered before. These TNOs range from 30 to 90 times Earth's distance from the sun. By comparison, Pluto, the best-known TNO (and dwarf planet), is 40 times this distance. They orbit in the cold outer reaches of our solar system, beyond Neptune, taking hundreds of years to orbit the sun once."

Planet Neptune it is at a distance of less than 30 times the distance between the Earth and the sun, but these new bodies are at distances between 30 times and 90 times that between our planet and the sun. The planet Neptune also has another "dwarf planet" nearby, Pluto, which is 40 times the distance between the Earth and the sun, so all the 145 new objects on the edge of our solar system are extremely far from us, and very hard to notice further.

Planet Neptune it is completely frozen because it is so far from the sun, and the researchers say that the new 145 are in the same situation, without being able to estimate their surface temperatures for now.
