(523622) 2007 TG422 (provisional designation 2007 TG422) is a trans-Neptunian object on a highly eccentric orbit in the scattered disc region at the edge of Solar System. Approximately 260 kilometers (160 miles) in diameter, it was discovered on 3 October 2007 by astronomers Andrew Becker, Andrew Puckett and Jeremy Kubica during the Sloan Digital Sky Survey at Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico, United States.[1] According to American astronomer Michael Brown, the bluish object is "possibly" a dwarf planet.[7] It belongs to a group of objects studied in 2014, which led to the proposition of the hypothetical Planet Nine.[10]
