Discovered on Oct 21, 2014 by David Gerdes and associates at the Cerro Tolodo Observatory in northen Chile, "Dee Dee" or 2014 UZ224 is a distant dwarf planet twice as far out as Eris making it the most distant sizeable Kuiper object thus far known. It has a highly eliptical orbit of 1130.83 years and a semi axis AU of 110. It has an estimated diameter of 635 km or 395 miles. It is inclined at 26.78 degrees from the ecliptic and will reach perihelion or closest point to the Sun on April 23rd, 2142.
Dee Dee orbit spanning the Signs Dee Dee spends about half of its outward orbit in Aquarius and Pisces (about 500 years) and only 16 years each in Virgo and Libra! It is currently(2026) in mid tropical Taurus. Dee Dee or 2014 UZ224 has a stable orbit that is evenly spaced out from Pluto outwards. Pluto 250 yrs x 2 = Eris 500+ years X 2 = Dee Dee 1000+ years. Also, each of these bodies has its perihelion (often an indicator of rulership) in successive signs; Pluto has its perihelion in Scorpio, Eris in Libra, and Dee Dee in Virgo. Is Dee Dee the ruler of Virgo, despite its small size? If not, then some other larger body with a 1000+ year orbit would fit the bill. Below is an ephemeris or tables of 2014 UZ224 from 1600 AD to 2500 AD.
