#28: What's lurking beyond the edge of the solar system?

Far beyond the orbit of Pluto lies a silent frontier—the frozen edge of the solar system, where light fades, and time seems to stretch. In this episode of The Space Between, Kolby and Dawson explore the discovery of 2023 KQ14, an ancient, distant object nicknamed Ammonite. It's one of only a handful of known sednoids, mysterious celestial bodies that may be untouched relics from the solar system's formation 4.5 billion years ago.What makes Ammonite special? Its orbit is so stable, so distant, and so strange that it may challenge the very way we model the outer solar system. Could this object be the missing clue in the Planet Nine debate? Or is it evidence of something even more ancient; something fossilized into the gravitational architecture of our solar system itself?---ChatGPT Deep Research: ⁠https://chatgpt.com/s/dr_689eb892a0248191af6fc7bcb46044e7⁠Clyde Tombaugh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clyde_Tombaugh ---Follow us on Instagram! ⁠⁠https://instagram.com/spacebetweenpod⁠⁠Order Kolby's new album! ⁠⁠https://kolbyvancamp.hearnow.com/portraits-volume-ii⁠
