'Most distant' Solar System object spied

The inky black of the outer solar system just got a little brighter. A speck of light spotted in October 2015 is a rocky world more than 3 times more distant than Pluto – the farthest body in our solar system ever seen. “We don’t know anything about its orbit,” says Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institute of Washington, whose team discovered the new addition. “We just know it’s the most distant object known.” Sheppard announced the new object, called V774104, on 10 November at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society’s Division for Planetary Sciences, held in National Harbor, Maryland. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn28477-most-distant-solar-system-object-yet-could-hint-at-hidden-planet/

To understand the news we will go back to the chart for the last solar eclipse of September 13 at Washington DC which has just been triggered by Jupiter moving to within a degree and half over the eclipse point.  Notice that the eclipse highlights the Mercury-Uranus-Pluto T-square by putting it on the meridian axis. The Uranus-Pluto combination is linked to “scientific breakthroughs”  - essentially  advances in science and technology that bring to light (Uranus) all that was previously hidden (Pluto).

Mercury on the IC is in an area of stars that Diana Rosenberg links to events connected to the sky such as astronomy, astrology, meterology, navigation, aviation and space and cites the following examples under transits to these stars:

This was Sun and Jupiter  in 1957 when the USSR launched the Sputnik, the first artificial Earth satellite and the Moon at the moment the first human set foot on it in 1969. Even those who do not fly are drawn to the sky and light: there are chart elements here of the 17th century experimental physicist Robert Hooke, the first to build a reflecting Gregorian telescope; 17th – 18th century mathematician astronomer Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, builder of yantras, massive stone instruments for analysing the heavens; 19th century industrialist/ manufacturer  of optical instruments Carl Zeiss etc.
