Their research, published in Nature Astronomy, has revealed that the carbonate minerals found on an asteroid were formed from reactions with water that was originally present as ice in the early solar system.
The rocky, carbon-rich Ryugu is the first C-type (C stands for "carbonaceous") asteroid from which samples have been gathered and studied, said study co-author Kevin McKeegan, a distinguished professor of Earth, planetary and space sciences at UCLA.
Ringed Planet That Defies Known Physics Discovered in Outer Reaches of Our Solar System
It turns out that Saturn isn’t the only married planet in the solar system. A European telescope has found a new dwarf planet right here at home, and it too has a ring.
The largest object found to orbit our sun since Pluto was discovered in 1930, Quaoar is the third-largest dwarf planet or planetoid of the 3,000 that orbit the sun out beyond Neptune.
Will Pluto and Neptune ever collide? | Astronomy.com
With Pluto spending 20 years of its 248-year orbit within the orbit of Neptune, you might expect that at some point, the two worlds could catastrophically collide.
Pluto’s orbit experiences two effects that keep the dwarf planet safe: Its point of closest approach to the Sun oscillates in the vertical direction and also in the radial direction. These orbital effects are called latitudinal libration and azimuthal libration, respectively.
Quantum Telescopes Could Offer Clearer Views of Our Solar System and Beyond
For astronomers, one of the greatest challenges is capturing images of objects and phenomena that are difficult to see using optical (or visible light) telescopes .
Examples include the Event Horizon Telescope, which relies on observatories from around the world to capture the first images of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center of the M87 galaxy, and of Sagittarius A* at the center of the Milky Way.

NEM 2.0 required solar owners to switch to time-of-use energy plans. Typically, time-of-use rates are higher when demand is also high. For example, rates are highest from 4 to 9 p.m., when many residents are home and using electricity. Overnight from 12 a.m. to 6 a.m.
