2020 FA 31 is a distant trans-Neptunian object that was discovered 97.2 AU (14.54 billion km) from the Sun by Scott Sheppard, David Tholen, and Chad Trujillo on 24 March 2020. [1] Announced on 14 February 2021, it is one of the most distant observable known objects in the Solar System. [4]
[3] [4] It was discovered by Scott S. Sheppard and Chadwick A. Trujillo in 2005. It was initially suspected of being a Neptune trojan since the first observations gave it a semi-major axis of 30 AU and an orbital eccentricity of 0.16, [ 5 ] but further observations showed it to have a semi-major axis of 42.7 AU, a perihelion of 32.1 AU, and an ...

It was discovered in 2002 by Michael Brown and Chad Trujillo. The object is a plutino, an object in 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune. The size of (84719) 2002 VR 128 was measured by the Herschel Space Telescope to be 448.5 +42.1 −43.2 km. [3] The surface of (84719) 2002 VR 128 is red in the visible spectral range. [3]
Orcus was discovered by American astronomers Michael Brown, Chad Trujillo, and David Rabinowitz on 17 February 2004. Orcus is a plutino, a trans-Neptunian object that is locked in a 2:3 orbital resonance with the ice giant Neptune, making two revolutions around the Sun to every three of Neptune's. [5]
S/2021 J 5 is a small outer natural satellite of Jupiter discovered by Scott S. Sheppard, David J. Tholen, and Chad Trujillo on 5 September 2021, using the 8.2-meter Subaru Telescope at Mauna Kea Observatory, Hawaii.
