Description

Eris is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO)
Discovered : 2005

Current distance from Earth : 14.2 billion Kilometers (94.98 AU)
Diameter of Eris : 2326 km 
Current magnitude : 18.8 Mag
Orbital period : 557 years
Due to the enormous current distance of 14.2 billion kilometers, Eris has a very slow motion across the sky(0.0229 arcsecs/minutes), currently almost three times farther away than Pluto.

Eris is the ninth-most massive known object orbiting the Sun, the most massive and second-largest known dwarf planet in the Solar System.
The next perihelion (closest approach to the sun) occurs in December 2257
Until 2018, Eris was the most distant known object in the solar system (except for a few long-period comets).
