The detected object is within the zone of the Edgeworth-Kuiper, which is beyond the orbit of Neptune. Most of the known celestial bodies of this belt is Pluto. According to researchers, the belt of Edgeworth-Kuiper objects formed, which remained after the formation of the Solar system. Scientists say that the objects of the belt of Edgeworth-Kuiper preserved as they were billions of years ago.
The radius of the objects of the belt of Edgeworth-Kuiper ranges from one to several kilometers, they are very dim, so they cannot be seen even with the most powerful modern telescopes. Researchers have developed a technique that consists in gazing at the stars, which obscure objects, passing by them.
Using this method the researchers were able to detect the object, the radius of which is 1.3 kilometers. The opening of such heavenly bodies confirms the hypothesis that planetesimals – the nuclei of the planets – in the early stage of the reach of small size, and then rapidly increasing their weight, turning into large objects.
