These are the discovery images of 2012 VP113,
affectionately called 'Biden' because of the VP in the
provisional name. It has the most distant orbit known in
our Solar System. Three images of the night sky, each
taken about two hours apart, were combined into one.
The first image was artificially colored red, second green
and third blue. 2012 VP113 moved between each image
as seen by the red, green and blue dots. The
background stars and galaxies did not move and thus
their red, green and blue images combine to showup as
white sources. Credit: Scott Sheppard and Chad Trujillo
