James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes discover tiny new worlds deep in our solar system
THE TAKEAWAYFor the first time, scientists combined the power of NASA’s Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes in search of far-flung bodies deep in our solar system.While observing deep in our solar system, experts discovered Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs), small, faint, icy bodies orbiting the sun beyond Neptune, according to NASA.Generally, TNOs are 100 million times fainter than objects visible to the unaided eye. They can be solar system space debris, celestial bodies and minor planets.NASA
