2500040000

2500040000 is a unique identifier assigned to a specific celestial body within our solar system. It is classified as a trans-Neptunian object, meaning it orbits the Sun at a distance greater than Neptune's orbit. This object was discovered in the early 21st century and has since been the subject of various astronomical studies due to its intriguing characteristics.

One of the most notable features of 2500040000 is its size. It is estimated to be approximately 300 kilometers in diameter, making it one of the larger known trans-Neptunian objects. Its composition is believed to be primarily icy, with a significant portion of water ice, which is a common characteristic among objects in the outer solar system.

The orbit of 2500040000 is also of interest to astronomers. It follows a highly elliptical path around the Sun, taking approximately 300 Earth years to complete a single orbit. This elongated orbit brings the object as close as 35 astronomical units (AU) to the Sun and as far as 50 AU away. The object's orbit is inclined at an angle of about 20 degrees relative to the ecliptic plane, the imaginary flat surface on which most planets orbit.

2500040000 is part of a group of objects known as the scattered disk, which are thought to have been perturbed from their original orbits by the gravitational influence of Neptune. The study of this object and others like it provides valuable insights into the formation and evolution of the solar system, particularly the outer regions where 2500040000 resides. Ongoing research continues to uncover more about this fascinating celestial body.
