  7. A ~500-km-sized object has been discovered (on old images) in the far reaches of the solar system - the orbit of #2017OF201 has a semi-major axis of 880 au and an eccentricity of 0.95 and thus a perihelion at 45 au: minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K25 and groups.io/g/mpml/topic/1132343 (and see minorplanetcenter.net/iau/Size for how to covert the absolute brightness H - which is 3.55 - into a diameter).
