2019 UO14 is the first ever confirmed Saturnian trojan,[1] orbiting the Sun around the L4 Lagrangian point. It was discovered on 23 October 2019 by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope at Haleakala, Hawaii.[2] The object was captured probably a few thousand years ago, and will remain there for 1,000 more years until influences from other outer planets remove 2019 UO14 from its current trojan orbit.
