There's something orbiting the sun, way, way beyond the distant realm of Pluto.
A team of astronomers recently spotted the farthest-known object in the solar system using a telescope atop Hawaii's lofty Mauna Kea, and announced the discovery on Monday. The object, formally called "2018 VG18" but nicknamed "Farout," orbits some 120 Astronomical Units(120*93million miles!)from the sun.

Catastrophic galactic collision could send Solar System flying into space
New research led by astrophysicists at Durham University, UK, predicts that the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) could hit the Milky Way in two billion years' time.
