A strange asteroid-comet could be key to understanding the birth of the solar system

A strange asteroid-comet could be key to understanding the birth of the solar system

A large asteroid-comet hybrid that orbits between Neptune and Jupiter is an intriguing oddball as far as cosmic rocks go. Chiron, as the strange centaur is called, is what astronomers call a minor body. Based on observations by the James Webb Space Telescope, it has a mixture of ice and gases that could teach us

Webb gives the best glimpse ever into the icy planetesimals of the early solar system

Webb gives the best glimpse ever into the icy planetesimals of the early solar system

Detecting molecules on distant objects in our Solar System has been complex due to Earth’s atmospheric and instrumental limitations. However, the James Webb Space Telescope’s near-infrared observations have revealed new molecular details on trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). Studies by researchers at the University of Central Florida offer new insights into the formation and evolution of the
