(CNN) -- Scientists may have discovered the solar system's most distant object, more than three times farther away from Earth than Pluto.

It dosent fall under the current classification of a planet though

I thought this one was more distant than others they had discovered. That's why I didn't consider it the one others had been talking about. I thought this was a new one.

nah, its jsut cause there has been alot of "new" news about it that its in the headlines plus it gots a name now

Doesnt Hubble reach that far? Couldnt we get some kind of closeup on it or something.
