Discovered November 10, 2018
I wonder where it's located in the zodiac? Can't find any information yet.

*Australian accent* "Faaaaar out, mate".
Bummer that it doesn't have a number yet. Seems like it needs anxiety meds. Too unstable to be numbered, lol.
^Apparently it is an asteroid but behaves like a comet.
Figures.

Btw, do you think that instability would show up in its discovery chart? Can we use the date given on Wikipedia or some other date (for instance, the day it'll get its number)?

2018 VG18is not an asteroid. It's a transneptunian object under the distant minor planet class
all asteroids are minor planets, but not all minor planets are asteroids asteroids and distant minor planets are two different minor planet classes
all minor planets were thought to be asteroids until the first centaur, Chiron was discovered in 1977 then in 1992, the second centaur, Pholus and the first transneptunian object found since Pluto, 1992 QB1 were discovered
