Unique Form Of Most Distant Planet In Our Solar System

Scientists have recently discovered a unique form of the most distant planet in our solar system, known as Sedna. This planet, located over 70 AU from the sun, has been found to have a highly eccentric orbit, taking it as close as 30 AU from the sun and as far as 1000 AU from the sun. This extreme variation in distance has led researchers to believe that Sedna may be influenced by the gravitational pull of a large, undiscovered planet in the outer reaches of the solar system.

The unique form of Sedna has been observed to have a highly elongated shape, with a length of approximately 1000 km and a width of only 100 km. This unusual shape is thought to be the result of Sedna's highly eccentric orbit, which causes the planet to experience extreme variations in temperature and pressure. Despite these challenges, Sedna's surface has been found to be surprisingly smooth and featureless, with no signs of geological activity or atmospheric circul [+]

The James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled an unprecedented image of Uranus, the seventh planet in our solar system. Captured in September, this image stands out not just for its clarity but for the vibrant colours that are typically unseen in conventional views of Uranus.
