OrbitalMap a live chronicle of orbit

In the Solar System

Gonggong

One of the largest known bodies beyond Neptune, here for its size, and one of the last big ones to be named - it was 2007 OR10 for a decade after its discovery. It is on a long, steeply tilted orbit that takes it out past 100 AU, it is unusually red for something this far out, and it has a moon, Xiangliu, found in old Hubble frames after the fact. Nothing is going there.

Radius
615 km
