FarFarOut

DISTANT OBJECT · the record holder

SEEN AT about 132 × the Earth Sun distance

When astronomers found an object farther out than their previous record holder Farout, the naming committee of the heart took over: FarFarOut. Spotted at four times Pluto's distance, it crawls along an orbit lasting around a thousand years. Names like this are a reminder that science is done by people who find the universe genuinely funny.
