Israeli team explains properties of most distant object in outer space

Israeli scientists have developed a model to explain the unique properties of the most distant object ever imagined in the Solar System, shedding new light on the formation of Kuiper Belt objects – asteroid-like objects at the edge of the Solar System – and helping scientists better understand the early stages of the Solar System’s formation.

The research, led by a team from the Faculty of Physics at the Technion – Ph.D. student Evgeni Grishin, postdoc Dr. Uri Malamud, and their supervisor Professor Hagai Perets – in collaboration with a German research group in Tübingen, was recently published in the British multidisciplinary scientific journal Nature.
