dässile

Dässile is a minor planet located in the outer reaches of the solar system. It is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO), a classification of celestial bodies that includes objects orbiting the Sun at a distance greater than that of Neptune. Dässile's orbital characteristics place it in a region known as the Kuiper Belt, a vast reservoir of small, icy bodies beyond the gas giant planets.

Dässile was first detected in 1993 by a team of astronomers led by Brian G. Marsden. The initial observation was made using the 1.20-meter Schmidt telescope at the Palomar Observatory in California, USA. Further observations and follow-up measurements were conducted to refine the object's orbital elements and determine its size.

Dässile is estimated to be between 200 and 400 kilometers in diameter, making it a relatively small object in the Kuiper Belt. Its surface is believed to be composed primarily of water ice, mixed with darker organic material. Dässile's motion is highly eccentric, with a perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) of approximately 29 astronomical units (AU) and an aphelion (farthest distance from the Sun) of around 44 AU.

Scientific study of Dässile has been limited due to its location and distance from Earth. However, its observation remains an important contribution to the understanding of the outer Solar System and the diverse nature of the Kuiper Belt's inhabitants. Further research is necessary to uncover the secrets hidden within this enigmatic TNO.
