Fun fact of the Day #8 (1 Viewer)

There is a dwarf planet called Sedna on the outer reaches of the solar system. What makes this planet so unique is its extremely elliptical obit. At its closest, Sedna is 2 times farther than Pluto from the sun. At its farthest, it is over 24 times farther than Pluto. Due to this orbit, Sedna takes roughly 11,400 years to complete one orbit around the sun.

This image can put into perspective the distances between the orbits of the other planets and Sedna.

Appreciate astronomy

When Senda do orbit around the sun we'll be dead by then.

You mght still be alive when its closest to the sun (in 72 years), then you'll get bragging rights for thousands of years.
