Scientists discover Uranus has a dancing partner
- Scientists have discovered a minor planet, 2015 OU₁₉₄, in a gravitational partnership with Uranus, locked in a 3:4 mean motion resonance, preventing them from colliding or drifting apart.
- This stable relationship has lasted for at least a million years and is predicted to continue for another 500,000 years into the future, suggesting it formed early in the Solar System's history.
- The discovery sheds light on the complex dynamics of the outer Solar System, as no objects have been found in resonance between Uranus and Neptune before.
- Additional candidates, like 2013 RG₉₈ and 2014 NX₆₅, show similar stable resonances with Uranus and Neptune, hinting at common gravitational partnerships in the region.
