‘FarFarOut’: astronomer finds potential furthest object in solar system

Mystery shrouds 'very faint' planetary body that appears to be 140 times further from the sun than Earth

A new object has been discovered in the distant reaches of our solar system and given the name FarFarOut, according to a prominent astronomer.

At 140 times further away from the sun than our own planet is, the newly identified body - if its discovery is confirmed - will become the furthest known object in our solar system.
