Discover how the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile found 2026 ED138, a large icy body beyond Pluto. Learn why its estimated size of 600 to 1,500 kilometres makes it a dwarf planet candidate, how it sits about 46 astronomical units from the Sun, why its gravity may have pulled it round, and what infrared observations must confirm before it joins Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Haumea and Makemake as a recognised dwarf planet.
