It wasn’t long ago that astronomers detected the presence of what was then considered the most distant object in our solar system. The object, called 2018 VG18, was given the fitting nickname of “FarOut” by the researchers that discovered it.
Unfortunately, the thing about naming space objects is that eventually someone will find one that is bigger, faster, or in this case more distant than the previous record-holder. That’s exactly what just happened to FarOut, which is now the second most distant object in the system, and the new record holder needed a catchy nickname, too. It’s called FarFarOut.
