Uncovering the Secrets of the Solar System: Q&A with Asteroid Experts
Space exploration has come a long way, and now scientists are set to unlock some of the secrets of asteroids. In a new project, a team of researchers have been able to get a better understanding of how asteroids form, and how they interact with the Sun. By studying the composition of asteroids and their orbits around the Sun, the team hopes to gain insight into the formation of the Solar System.
This week, we sat down with the team to find out more about their project and what they hope to learn from it. They told us that by studying the composition and orbit of asteroids, they can get a better understanding of how the Solar System and its planets formed. In addition, they hope to learn more about the origins of asteroids and how they affect the planets in the Solar System. Finally, by studying the composition of asteroids, the team hopes to gain insight into the potential for asteroid mining in the future.
