And it has a big orbit. See that ring around the big body at the far-right end of this image? That's the Kuiper Belt.

And the really interesting thing about this tiny little thing is that it's another piece of evidence for the presence of a new "Planet Nine" out past the Kuiper Belt.

Lord John Whorfin: "Where are we going?"

Red Lectroids: "Planet Ten!"

Eric John Idle: "Actually it's Planet Nine sir, they'll be demoting Pluto in a few years."

Whorfin: "If it's years away it doesn't matter, because when will we get there?"

Lectroids: "Real soon!"
