In the outer reaches of our solar system, far beyond the orbit of Pluto, lies Sedna, one of the most mysterious objects ever ...

A team of researchers has outlined how a new "direct fusion drive" propulsion system could allow us to reach Sedna this ...

Sedna will make its closest approach to the Sun in 2076, giving us a rare opportunity to visit the planetoid before it drifts ...

In the frozen outskirts of the solar system, a reddish dwarf planet orbits in silence. Known as Sedna, it is so distant that one trip around the Sun takes more than 11,000 years. For much of that time ...

Sedna, the Solar System's farthest known object, does not have a moon, puzzled astronomers have revealed. Its slow spin was thought to be due to the gravity of a small, companion body. Researchers ...

Sedna also shows acetylene (C 2 H 2) and ethylene (C 2 H 4). The abundances correlate with the orbit (most on Sedna, less on Gonggong, least on Quaoar), which is consistent with relative ...

The quest to find hidden worlds. Searching for planets lurking in the frigid edges of our solar system is not a new concept. The so-called Planet Nine, a world 10 times more massive than Earth, is ...
