NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captures 'one galaxy and two asteroids'

NASA’s Hubble Telescope recently shared an im portraying sparkling stars of a ‘dwarf galaxy’ located around 15 million light-years away. While in picture or galaxies’ appear to be ‘sprinkled across frame’, scientists ticed that towards lower right corner of frame, two elongated streaks, trails of asteroids, are faintly visible. While sharing im on Twitter, Hubble informed that ‘citizen scientists’ captured ‘one galaxy and two asteroids’. 

Hubble also wrote, “At first sight, im portrays sparkling stars of red dwarf galaxy AGC111977. But, towards lower right corner of frame, trails of two asteroids are visible”.

According to a press te released by European ncy, Hubble observed trails of asteroids in solar system, which were crossing ir ways in foreground of stars and galaxies. ‘citizens scientists’, who are volunteers who inspect ims from iconic telescope as part of Hubble Asteroid Hunter Citizens Science project, uncovered two asteroids that are located at different distances from us. researchers also revealed that asteroids intersecting streaks suggests that y actually do t collide.

As per press release, observation was part Hubble Asteroid Hunter program in collaboration with ESA and Zooniverse. 'citizen scientists' volunteered to identify asteroids that h been serendipitously observed by Hubble Telescope. Around 9,000 volunteers from around globe provided two million classifications of 140,000 composite Hubble ims, finding 1,500 asteroid trails. 

ESA authorities also informed that “ team is working to identify asteroids that were uncovered as part of project—including two pictured in this im—to possibly match m with kwn asteroids in Mir Planet Center database, and calculate ir distances from us”.
