Scott Sheppard and colleagues of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE), University of Warsaw, Poland, have initiated the OGLE Carnegie Kuiper belt Survey (OCKS), the first southern sky survey for dwarf planets and bright Kuiper Belt objects. To date, only the Northern Hemisphere, where Eris and most other recently discovered dwarf planets reside, has been thoroughly searched for bright objects beyond Neptune. The team has been surveying for several months using the new wide-field imager on the 1.3-meter Warsaw telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. To date, they have discovered four new Kuiper Belt objects—one of which is the brightest Solar System object discovered in recent years. Another object is the southernmost outer Solar System object ever discovered, residing near -38 degrees in declination. For more information on the project, click here.
