Astronomers spot most distant object in solar system

Astronomers have discovered a mysterious dwarf planet that is three times farther away than Pluto and believed to be the most distant object in our solar system. The discovery of the dwarf planet known as V774104 was announced Tuesday at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society near the US capital and could indicate the presence of more rogue planets in our celestial neighborhood. The dwarf planet currently sits 15.4 billion kilometers (9.6 billion miles) from the Sun.
