2025 GE (discovery circular): minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K25 -> why it was important: groups.io/g/mpml/message/40643 - "a large, inclined object with low eccentricity between Uranus and Neptune. And it's by far the brightest distant object discovered in the last decade. Nothing this bright has been linked since 2014 WP509!" #OuterSolarSystem

Salty
Icy moons, new compounds
Forming deep within the frost
From water, chill, and squeeze
Mysterious

New Horizons to become active again! 🙂

"It has now begun its second extended mission, and is soon set to wake up from a deep hibernation, opening a wealth of new science opportunities in the outer solar system."
