🔭 Astronomers Discover Rare Distant Object in Sync with Neptune • Harvard & Smithsonian
｢ The tilt of 2020 VN40's orbit means that the objects are not actually close, because 2020 VN40 is actually far below the solar system- they only appear close when flattened onto a map. All other known resonant trans-Neptunian objects orbit such that they avoid this alignment at their closest approach to the sun, even in the flattened view ｣
