[edit]DescriptionNASA’s Webb To Examine Objects in the Graveyard of the Solar System (51144478507).png |
Caption: This global color mosaic of Neptune’s moon Triton, likely a captured KBO, was taken in 1989 by Voyager 2 during its flyby of the Neptune system. Triton is by far the largest satellite of Neptune. Beyond the orbit of Neptune, a diverse collection of thousands of dwarf planets and other relatively small objects dwells in a region called the Kuiper Belt. These often-pristine leftovers from our solar system's days of planet formation are called Kuiper Belt Objects, or Trans-Neptunian Objects. NASA's upcoming James Webb Space Telescope will examine an assortment of these icy bodies in a series of programs called Guaranteed Time Observations shortly after its launch in 2021. The goal is to learn more about how our solar system formed. Read more here: www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2020/nasa-s-webb-to-examine-... |
