2014 JM80 is a trans-Neptunian object from the scattered disc in the outermost Solar System, approximately 340 kilometers (210 miles) in diameter. It was first observed on 7 May 2014 by the Pan-STARRS-1 survey at the Haleakala Observatory, Hawaii, in the United States.[1] According to American astronomer Michael Brown, it is "possibly" a dwarf planet.[3][5]
Orbit and classification
2014 JM80 orbits the Sun at a distance of 46.0–80.2 AU once every 500 years and 11 months (182,969 days; semi-major axis of 63.07 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.27 and an inclination of 20° with respect to the ecliptic.[2]
