Interesting! 🔭 🧪 #science
Recently, a research team announced the discovery of a fascinating trans-Neptunian object (TNO), 2023 KQ14, nicknamed "Ammonite", thanks to the FOSSIL II project with the Subaru Telescope, during the first year observations (2023).

Congrats to Ying-Tung Chen, @astrokiwi.bsky.social & co. on the discovery of 2023 KQ14, the 4th and smallest known sednoid! (diameter 130-260 km)
It has a perihelion of 65.9 AU and it isn't clustered like most of other extreme TNOs. 🔭 minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K25/K25...

A new, rare object!
It's about 2023 KQ14, nicknamed "Ammonite," a trans-Neptunian object (TNO), meaning it orbits the Sun at a greater average distance than Neptune.
With a perihelion of 66 au, Ammonite fills a "perihelion gap" (between 50 and 75 au) in the distribution of TNOs,
