Until recently, it was the most distant object known to orbit around the [[Sun]]. But on March 26, 2014, it lost that honor. Astronomers reported a new object, 2012VP113, that orbits slightly further away from the Sun even at [[apsis|perihelion]]. The astronomers who reported this object, expect to find many more at this and greater distances from the Sun.<ref name=examiner>Hurlbut TA, "Sedna has company, and lots of it," ''Creationism Examiner'', 26 March 2014. <http://www.examiner.com/article/sedna-has-company-and-lots-of-it></ref><ref name=Trujillo>Trujillo CA and Sheppard SS, "A Sedna-like body with a perihelion of 80 astronomical units," ''Nature'' '''507''':471–474, 27 March 2014 {{doi|10.1038/nature13156}}</ref>
