A new mysterious object has been discovered at the edge of the solar system.

The JWST telescope discovered a mysterious object, designated 2017 OF201, at the edge of the solar system. That object is one of the so-called trans-Neptunian objects, TNOs. That opens new paths to discover new planets and dwarf planets in our solar system. The 2017 OF201 is the dwarf planets. These are introduced in the image. Above this text.
Most of those dwarf planets are found in the Kuiper Belt, and only Ceres is in the asteroid belt. That means there can be many dwarf planets hiding in the Kuiper Belt. And that is one of the most interesting questions about dwarf planets. Why are there no dwarf planets in the inner solar system? The dwarf planets are interesting because some of them might have formed as moons of planets. And maybe. Some dwarf planets have been part of larger planets. Those were destroyed in cosmic collisions.
Most of those dwarf planets are in the Kuiper Belt. That raises the idea that maybe some of those small objects are from other solar systems. Maybe some of those small worlds have been some kind of rogue worlds that slipped away from some red dwarf system, or maybe some nova or supernova threw some of those dwarf planets out of their orbits. Or maybe those things were Uranus’s or Neptune’s moons that some cosmic catastrophe threw out from their orbit.
The gravity effect that comes from some planets, or some kind of particle beam. Or asteroid impacts can cause an effect. Those small moons that are at a long distance from their planet just go out of their trajectories. The interesting detail in those dwarf planets is that Haumea. Which looks like an egg. It is larger than the ball-shaped Ceres. The shape of Haumea tells. that it has been fast-spinning when it formed. The fast spinning movement stretched that dwarf planet, or there must be some internal effect, like some kind of beam. that stretched that dwarf planet into shape as we see it.
