Hubble și Webb au descoperit 27 de obiecte dincolo de Neptun

The Hubble and James Webb space telescopes have collaborated to discover 27 new trans-Neptunian objects, revealing a more complex history than previously thought. These objects, all under 40 kilometers in diameter, retain their original surface characteristics, challenging existing models of their formation. The findings suggest fewer impacts in the outer Solar System than expected, or that impacts do not significantly alter the surfaces of these small bodies. The research highlights the capabilities of both telescopes in observing faint objects, marking a significant advancement in understanding the Kuiper Belt and beyond.
