Astronomers have discovered a mysterious dwarf planet, 2017 OF201, far beyond Pluto. This discovery challenges existing theories and could alter solar system’s map.

A team of astronomers believe they may have discovered a new dwarf planet—just like Pluto—on the edge of our solar system. The object—which orbits out beyond Neptune—has been named "2017 OF201" by the ...
