Thanks, that's the context that we need. It seems rather odd that someone could write a whole article without going into where "in Our Solar System" this body orbits. Obviously it's not going to be in the inner solar system, but it seems odd not to even mention the basic comparisons to e.g. the orbits of Pluto or Eris. Summary: It is out past Neptune, has a similar kind of orbit to Eris.

  Odd but not too rare, unfortunately. I've seen countless articles about the contents of a photograph or piece of art that did not include an image of any type. Puzzling.

      How can that be? That sounds like the most uncontroversial example of fair use.

        You start by searching for an image that has been released in the public domain or made available under a permissive license. If you can't find one, you can create your own. In this case, the orbit information itself isn't going to be copywritten, so of course you can scribble one out on your own. It's another thing entirely to just google for an existing image and use it without consent.

        Fair use doesn't apply everywhere in the world. >Fair use is a legal doctrine only in the United States.[0] In the UK, for example, their fair dealing exception is only for "non-commercial research or study, criticism or review".

        The term "fair use" seems to only exist in the United States, but the same concept exists in more places. Such as Sweden, for instance, where it's called "skäligt bruk". https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use

  I was wondering the same. Can only guess that was not mentioned since location was known since 2007. Only new information is size.

Huh. I wonder how close Eris and this new one could potentially come to Pluto.
- GFK_of_xmaspast 10y ago
  Wiki says it's in a resonance with Neptune (Pluto is as well, and Eris might be), so probably "not that close".
  - SideburnsOfDoom 10y ago
    Yep, I assumed something like that. In general, if substantial bodies are still around in the solar system after all this time, it is because they have come to an arrangement with their neighbours.

Yes. When it's that far out, it's easy to hide. :-) But still very exciting!
