Is this currently the farthest known object in the solar system? The Voyager 1 page says it's "more distant from the Sun than any known natural solar system object" (at 105AU), but surely this comet is farther out by now, isn't it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.94.7.6 (talk) 03:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC) OK, I ran the numbers. Assuming the elements are correct, this comet is currently at 250.574AU from the sun's center, certainly more distant than Voyager 1 or Eris and probably any other known long-period comet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.94.7.6 (talk) 04:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
