Experimental Propulsion Tech Could Reach Mysterious Planet Beyond Pluto in 10 Years

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-09-09 00:21:13

On November 14, 2003, astronomers spotted what was at the time the most distant known object orbiting the Sun. They called it Sedna after the Inuit goddess of the ocean. It’s a cold, reddish dwarf planet that drifts billions of miles away from the Sun during its 10,000-year orbit before coming in for a relatively close approach to our star. Its next perihelion is happening in July 2076, and astronomers want to take advantage of this rare encounter by flying a mission to the mysterious object. A

After months of rumors and teases, the Nothing Phone 3 has finally been unveiled at a Tuesday launch event in London.

Not only did the Nothing Phone 1 look different from every other phone available at the time, but it offered some pretty stellar specs at a relatively low price. Sure, its cameras were pretty weak and Nothing OS was still finding its footing, but it was a solid opening move for a brand new company. Since then, we’ve had many other Nothing Phones — fiv
