Its 104° inclination and its retrograde motion suggest that it is the missing link between its source in the inner Oort cloud and Halley-type comets, thus providing further insight into the evolution of the outer Solar System. The object measures no more than 90 km across and with a semi-major axis of 45.462 AU takes a little over 306 years to complete an orbit around the Sun.The discovery of the object was announced on July 16, 2008, by the Canada France Ecliptic Plane Survey team led by Brett Gladman.
