NASA’s Hubble Finds Kuiper Belt Duo May Be Trio

TL;DR


Summary:
- NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered that a pair of distant Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) may actually be a trio, suggesting that some KBOs may have undiscovered moons.
- The two KBOs, named 2002 VE95 and 2013 SY99, were previously thought to be single objects, but Hubble observations revealed a possible third object orbiting one of them.
- This discovery provides new insights into the formation and evolution of these distant solar system objects, which could help scientists better understand the early history of the solar system.
