Hi, we've got three stories from curiosity.com to help you get smarter in just a few minutes.

I'm Cody Gough. And I'm Ashley Hamer. Today you learn about a world beyond Pluto that

astronomers just discovered, what neuroscience says about whether humans have free will and blue zones where people live longer.

Let's satisfy some curiosity on the award-winning curiosity daily.

Astronomers have just discovered a new planet beyond Pluto.

We're really not burying the lead here, are we?

Nope!

This discovery hasn't been published in a peer-reviewed journal yet, but the astronomical journal is considering the paper's submission that talks about this discovery.

And we found this planet by accident when we were looking for a different planet.

So let's back up. In 2016, astronomers got the idea that there might be a planet about as big as Neptune somewhere far away in our solar system.

They call this world Planet 9, and astronomers all over have been looking for it.

Nobody's found it yet, but it's probably worth remembering that space is, you know,

kind of big.

So it might take years and years of searching

before we confirm that Planet 9 exists. And in the meantime, we found

another tiny world out there. It's officially called 2015 T.G. 387, but astronomers took the T.G. part and ran with it so they gave it the nickname

The Goblin. The Goblin is a dwarf planet that orbits the sun 80 times

further away than Earth. One trip around the Sun on the

the goblin would take about 40,000 years. That's one long year. I mean the

last time the goblin was where it is now in its path around the sun. We

hadn't even invented civilization, let alone telescopes or spacecraft.

But check this out.
