Discover the mystery of Jovian Trojan

American scientists have found a new clue to the mystery of the Jovian Trojan, a group of asteroids orbiting the Sun in orbit like Jupiter.

The asteroids are unusual in that they move in groups, with a group leading in the orbit in front of the giant gas planet, and the second group trailing behind.

The data collected by NASA's WISE transmitter revealed details of the colors of Trojans, important clues that help determine their composition and origin, according to the Dynamics Lab in Pasadena, California. .

The findings suggest that Trojans are not like asteroids from the main belt between Mars and Jupiter, or the family of objects located in the Kuiper belt, in a frigid region near Pluto.

'Jupiter and Saturn today have stable trajectories, but in the past, they have been constantly fluctuating and blocking the path of any asteroid that has the same orbit as you,' Space.com quoted Tommy Grav. , an expert who participated in the WISE mission at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson.

Grav said, Jupiter then controlled the Trojan asteroids, but the scientific community did not know the origin of these groups.

New research shows that they can be produced in this area, not pulled from other places like the Kuiper belt.

If so, then asteroids can be formed from the original material in the area around Jupiter.

Other planets in the solar system also entail the Trojan asteroids in their orbit, including Mars, Neptune and even Earth.
