The planet is considered a dwarf planet according to it’s diameter of “only” 500km.<\/p>\n

A view from this planet might look like this:<\/p>\n

If you need to imagine how far this planet is away from sun in relation to Mars, Venus, Earth and others… this scale graphics might help:<\/p>\n

The planet’s color comes from it’s most likely ice-covered surface. It’s time for orbiting around the sun once is about 1000 years!<\/p>\n

Although 1 AU is only about 8.1 light minutes (yes, the sunlight only needs 8 minutes to arrive at Farout!) it is the farthest discovered planet of our solar system.<\/p>\n

Interesting to see what other planets may be discovered…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
