An international research team led by Queen's University Belfast has finally detected a population of Trojan asteroids around Neptune, filling a decades-long gap in our understanding of the outer solar system. First identified near Jupiter in 1906, Trojan asteroids share a planet's orbit around the Sun, clustered around stable gravitational points ahead of and behind the planet. While such families had been found for Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus, Neptune's Trojans remained elusive—until now. For the complete material, the listing points back to the source inside the network.
