The Vera C Rubin Observatory has found ED138 a Trans Neptunian Object that is out beyond the orbit of Pluto at 46 Astronomical Units (Pluto is at 40 AU; and 1 AU is the distance from the Earth to the Sun) and is between 600 to 1500 kilometers in size which object and size woudl make it round and classify it officially as a dwarf planet.
In this video I go through the article announcing this and yes, I quote from it. Exciting stuff!
