Sedna…Awesome

Posted by: JT in Science

When you start to read this stuff, it’s tough to stop. It just doesn’t any less fascinating. Imagine what it would be like (minus the cold, if one could even observe what it would be like) to see space from Sedna’s aphelion, which apparently is so far from the sun that if you were on the surface of the planetoid you could blot out our sun with the head of a pin.

Sedna\'s orbit in relation to other major bodies in and around our solar system.
