Rubin-Observatorium entdeckt ersten Zwergplaneten-Kandidaten

31 Quellen
  • Das Minor Planet Center der IAU gab am 27. Oktober 2026 ED138 bekannt, nachdem Matthew Holman von Harvard das Objekt am 13. Oktober in Daten des Rubin-Observatoriums entdeckt hatte.
  • Rubin bildete das Objekt zwischen März und Juli 30 Mal ab, und Archivbilder der Dark Energy Camera bis zurück ins Jahr 2016 erweitern die Bahndaten, so die NSF.
  • Wissenschaftler betonen, dass Infrarotbeobachtungen nötig sind, um die Größe zu bestimmen; sollte sich die Kugelform bestätigen, würde das Objekt zu Pluto, Eris und drei weiteren anerkannten Zwergplaneten zählen.
