- SideburnsOfDoom 8y ago"Sednoid" is a new term to me too, though clearly it means "an object like e.g. Sedna". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/90377_Sedna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/90377_Sedna Kuiper belt and Oort cloud are well-known decades-old terms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_belt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_belt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oort_cloud https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oort_cloud
- __exit__ 8y agoFirst thing in my mind when reading "sednoid" was "mathematics!". As for the rest of the terms, they are new to me due to my non-familiarity with cosmology in general.
