Astronomers discover trojan asteroid near Jupiter's orbit for the first time

Astromers have detected an object near Jupiter's orbit which appears to be a cross between an asteroid and a comet. According to reports, Institute for Astromy at University of Hawaii's Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) has revealed that y have found a new asteroid with a  comet-like tail orbiting in same path used by Jupiter to revolve around sun. As per reports, se objects are kwn as active asteroids. se objects appear to be asteroids at first and n develop activity such as tails which looks quite similar to comets. According to reports, y are generally kwn as Trojan asteroids and it is first one of its kind to be seen with a comet-like-tail.

Trojan asteroid spotted

Trojan asteroid was reportedly first spotted in  June 2019 and dubbed as 2019 LD2. se asteroids take same path as a planet, but remain 60 degrees ahe of or behind along orbit. As per reports, planets such as Earth, Neptune and Jupiter do have more than one Trojan asteroids. According to reports, scientists have found that Jupiter Trojan asteroids revolve around sun in two large swarms, which includes one behind planet and ar one ahe of planet.

Third exoplanet orbits Kepler-88

Meanwhile, a new discovery has been me by a team of astromers at University of Hawaii Institute for Astromy where y found that a previously undetected third exoplanet orbits Kepler-88. Kepler-88 is a star that is similar to sun of our solar system and was discovered in year 2013. However, Kepler-88 is a star in constellation of Lyra and its 3rd exoplanet has been found after Kepler-88 B and Kepler-88 C. Re on to kw more about it.
research was led by author Lauren Weiss, a Beatrice Watson Parrent Postdoctoral Fellow at UH ifA, and her team. research found out that Kepler-88 D has a mass three times mass of Jupiter. It has also been found that Kepler-88 D has been more influential in history of Kepler-88 system.
