Tel Aviv, Israel (SPX) Sep 14, 2010Though it was once believed that all asteroids are giant pieces of solid rock, later hypotheses have it that some are actually a collection of small gravel-sized rocks, held together by gravity. If one of these "rubble piles" spins fast enough, it's speculated that pieces could separate from it through centrifugal force and form a second collection - in effect, a second asteroid. Now resea ... more

It was long theorized that these "rubble pile" asteroids, if they spun fast enough, could throw off material through centrifugal force to create a second collection of rocks - a "separated" twin - that would spin around the sun in the exact same orbit. Now researchers at Tel Aviv University, using the school's Wise Observatory ... read more |
