Discover new dwarf planets in the Solar System

Scientists have discovered the dwarf planet called 2014 UZ224, 8.5 billion miles from the Sun (13.7 billion km).

The new dwarf planet is called 2014 UZ224, 330km in diameter. It took about 1,100 years for the 2014 UZ224 dwarf planet to complete its orbit. This is the third distant celestial body ever known in the Solar System. It is part of a Kuiper belt separated by the gravitational influence of Neptune.

The new dwarf planet is called 2014 UZ224.

The research team led by Professor David Gerdes, University of Michigan discovered the 2014 UZ224 dwarf planet. He and his colleagues used an advanced device as the optimal physical camera to map galaxies.

While stars and galaxies are usually fixed in the same position, the planet or asteroid will be in different positions in the sky due to their orbital motion. So these positions must be connected to determine the orbit of the celestial body around the sun.

The special discovery of this planet is the process of searching for planets.

The team did not record Gerdes during the usual continuous nights that lasted for years in separated periods.

Professor David Gerdes said: "We often observed a celestial body one night. Then two weeks later we went back to observe it again. The next five days to observe again, four months later we observed the recording. So connecting the observation points is a big challenge. "
