2013 UH15 is an extreme Trans-Neptunian object in the Solar System, discovered at Las Campanas Observatory on October 29, 2013.
It is one a small number of detached objects with perihelion distances of 30 AUs or more, and semi-major axes of 150 AU or more.[1] Such objects can not reach such orbits without some perturbing object, which lead to the speculation of planet nine.
