Yet another whacko object at the edge of the Solar System -- go figure.

Strange new object found at edge of Solar System

A large object has been found beyond Pluto travelling in an orbit tilted by 47 degrees to most other bodies in the solar system. Astronomers are at a loss to explain why the object's orbit is so off-kilter while being almost circular.


Some kind of far-flung Bracewell probe awaiting a directed transmission? You never know . . .

And whatever became of "Santa"?

I think that's a plausible hypothesis.
