The object was nicknamed "FarFarOut" for its distant location from the Sun, and particularly because it was even farther than the previous farthest known object 2018 VG18 which was nicknamed "Farout". [3]

Feb 11, 2021 · It's official: Farfarout is our solar system's most distant known object. The planetoid dubbed Farfarout was first detected in 2018, at an estimated distance of 140 astronomical units (AU) …

Feb 17, 2021 · Farfarout is 132 astronomical units (AU) from the sun, which is four times farther away from the sun than Pluto. That staggering distance from the sun means it takes Farfarout around 1,000...

Feb 17, 2021 · Bottom line: Farfarout is the nickname given to the farthest known object in the solar system, which is currently at 132 AU, or more than 12 billion miles from the sun.

Feb 10, 2021 · Farfarout is very faint, and based on its brightness and distance from the Sun, the team estimates its size to be about 400 km across, putting it on the low end of being a dwarf planet, …

Feb 12, 2021 · Farfarout, now the most distant known object in the solar system, offers a rare look into the complex gravitational interactions and history of the outer solar system.

Feb 11, 2021 · FarFarOut, a large chunk of rock found in 2018 at a whopping distance of around 132 astronomical units from the Sun, has been studied and characterised, and we now know a lot more …

Feb 10, 2021 · This illustration depicts the most distant object yet found in our Solar System, nicknamed “Farfarout,” in the lower right. In the lower left, a graph shows the distances of the planets, dwarf …

The object is officially named 2018 AG37 but is nicknamed Farfarout for just how far away from the Sun it is orbiting—about 132 AU, where 1 AU is the distance between the Earth and Sun. At that...

Feb 21, 2019 · Like Farout, FarFarOut's orbit is not yet known; until it is, it's uncertain whether it will stay far enough away from the rest of the solar system to be free of the giant planets' gravitational tug.
