Hubble and Webb reveal distant solar system objects hold cosmic memory
Original: Hubble and Webb find that far-out # solarsystem objects 'remember' the past Used # NASA 's Hubble & # JWST to study some
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope studied trans-Neptunian objects, the icy bodies beyond Neptune. The survey found fewer small TNOs than expected, and their colors follow the same relationships as larger bodies, suggesting these distant objects preserve traces of conditions from the solar system's early formation.
Why now: New findings from Hubble and Webb observations challenge expectations about the population and history of icy bodies beyond Neptune.
