Astronomers discovered a new asteroid sharing Earth’s orbit – here’s why it matters Trojans might make good staging posts for future space exploration XL5, but no fireball 2020 XL₅ is being called a Trojan companion to the Earth by analogy with Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids. Jupiter shares its orbit with nearly ten thousand known asteroids, half of them ahead of Jupiter, and half behind. The first of those, discovered in 1906, was named Achilles after a central character at thesiege of Troyin Homer’s Iliad....

Astronomers may have witnessed the birth of a black hole Happy birthday! Explosive theories While stars collapsing to form neutron stars are now routinely observed throughout the universe (supernova surveys find dozens of new ones every night), astronomers are not yet entirely sure what happens during the collapse of a black hole. Some pessimistic models suggest the entire starwould be swallowed up without much of a trace. Others propose that the collapse to a black hole would producesome other kind of explosion....
