Scientists have found a small and icy object in the Kuiper Belt, designated 2023 KQ14 and nicknamed 'Ammonite'. It is far beyond Neptune and is currently orbiting the Sun. Ammonite, a name based on fossilised sea creatures, has been classified as a sednoid, not a planet or dwarf planet. The object is estimated to be 300-700 km in diameter.
