- I copied a posting from this group by john for euv astrophysics.
- It was an article from the 16 September 1992 San Francisco Chronicle
- with the title, "PLANETLIKE OBJECT SPOTTED BEYOND PLUTO." The article
- claimed that object 1992 QB-1 was orbiting between 37 and 59 AU from
- the sun. Observations were made by David Jewitt of the Univ. of
- Hawaii and Jane Luu of UC Berkley.
-
- I have yet to see any followup to this article. Do you know if
- there have been more observations refining the orbital parameters?
- Obviously this is only one for the big scopes.
