  • Triton: Neptune's Backwards Moon Was Once a Dwarf Planet Larger than Pluto!
Neptune'n moon Triton is an oddball. In contrast to all other major moons in the Solar System it has an inclined retrograde orbit relative to Neptune. And, geologically it is more like a Kuiper Belt object. If so, it is the largest know Kuiper Belt object and it probably eliminated several of Neptune's existing moons when it was captured.

SUnknownHow Big is the Biggest Galaxy in the Universe?

Tue, Jul 11, 2017
The Milky Way is a large galaxy thought fair typical for a spiral galaxy. Our nearest spiral neighbor Andromeda is probably twice as large. When spiral galaxies merge they for enormous elliptical galaxies with the largest known being IC-1101. It is large enough to engulf the entire local from of the Milky Way, Andromesda, the Mangelanic clouds and Traiangulum galaxies.

SUnknownHaumea - The Egg Shaped World (Beyond Pluto Episode 1)

Sun, Nov 18, 2018
Dwarf planet Haumea is a Kuiper Belt object a bit farther from the sun than Pluto.

SUnknownThe Goblin Dwarf Planet - An Inner Oort Cloud Object

Tue, Oct 29, 2019
The Golblin, discovered in 2009, is believed to be a dwarf planet and Oort Cloud object about 200 miles in diameter with a orbital period of 32,000 years. It is currently inbound to the Solar System but will never come even close to the orbit of Pluto. But it may be helpful in the search for the hypothetical Planet Nine.

SUnknownExtremely Rare Planet Discovered, a Cloudless Jupiter!

Wed, Feb 03, 2021
Planet Wasp 62b is a hot Jupiter class planet, half again as large of Jupiter though less massive and orbiting close to its parent star. Astronomers studying the planet observed spectral lines for sodium which is smoking gun evidence that it has a rare cloudless as contrasted with Jupiter's dense clouds.
