New Dwarf Planet Discovered

University of Michigan astronomers have discovered what could be another dwarf planet.

Nicknamed “DeeDee,” the celestial body is located more than 90 times farther from the sun than Earth.

U of M researchers say their goal was to find “Planet Nine.”

For the past two years, astronomers have theorized that such a planet existed, based on various other objects with patterned, elliptical orbits.

Currently, DeeDee is the second-most distant object in the solar system.
