Linkage.
They've found yet another KBO (Kuiper Belt Object), but this one has a twist; it's orbit isn't very eliptical, quite different than the norm. It seems with each passing month we find all kinds of cool new things out there. Really, we've found so much out about the hinterlands of the Solar System over the last few years, and continue to find out new things. Wow.

That's very interesting. It doesn't look like it was something the solar system packed up from the outside, but the high angle orbit is rather strange. I'll have to follow more news on this object.
