Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The lead author of a new study points out that asteroids are \u201cremnants from the formation of our solar system\u201d, and thus provide us with an opportunity to \u201clearn more about the conditions when our planets were born\u201d.<\/p>\n

Over a thousand previously unknown asteroids have been discovered thanks to the Hubble Asteroid Hunter, a citizen science project set up to analyse archival data from the Hubble Space Telescope in order to visually identify such chunks of space rock,<\/p>\n

According to a press release published on the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics\u2019 website, the astronomers involved in the study found some 1,701 asteroid trails in the Hubble data from the last two decades, with only a third of these trails being attributed to the known objects, thus leaving 1031 unidentified trails.<\/p>\n

Most of the data that the researchers were looking for was apparently removed from other observations as “noise”, with Kruk remarking: “One astronomer\u2019s trash can be another astronomer\u2019s treasure”.<\/p>\n

The astronomers are now expected to determine the distance to these newly found asteroids and study their orbits during the course of their follow-up work.<\/p>\n
