Discover an asteroid outside the Solar System

Astronomers have discovered an asteroid outside the Solar System through large telescopes and telescopes located at the Cerro Paranal observatory, 1,200 kilometers north of Santiago, Chile.

According to a reporter in South America, in the May 10 announcement, the Southern European Observatory (ESO) said the "unique and mysterious" asteroid is called 2004 EW95 , 4 billion kilometers from Earth and many the ability to form in the belt between Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid may also have been pushed billions of kilometers from where it began to form until the area now discovered.

The discovery of the asteroid 2004 EW95 played an important role in helping astronomers discover the early formation of the Solar System.

The team of scientists at Queen's University Belfast, UK, said the object in the upper Kuiper belt is the first planet discovered in the icy periphery of the Solar System and very rich in carbon. Scientist Tom Seccull, the lead researcher, hypothesized the possibility of another moving planet pushing 2004 EW95 into the current orbit in the early days of the Solar System's formation.

With modern devices, the team observed details of the light reflection model from 2004 EW95, thereby hypothesizing the composition of the asteroid.

The Kuiper belt is a halo-like glacier that opens from Neptune to about 55 times longer than the Sun than the Earth. It is thought to be a remnant of collisions that lead to the formation of asteroids.
