Hubble and Webb find that far-out solar system objects 'remember' the past

For the first time, scientists used the combined power of NASA's Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes to study some of the most far-flung bodies in our solar system, trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs).

AI Summary

Scientists combined observations from NASA’s Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes to examine distant trans‑Neptunian objects (TNOs) for the first time. The study revealed that some of the smallest and faintest TNOs have been directly imaged. The team found fewer small TNOs than models had predicted. Additionally, the colors of these small bodies followed the same color‑relationship patterns observed in larger TNOs, suggesting a shared compositional or evolutionary link.
