They unexpectedly found that the number and colors of these objects followed the same relationships as their larger family members.
TNOs are typically small, faint, icy bodies orbiting the Sun beyond the orbit of Neptune.They offer the best view into an early stage of planet-building, when a disk of dust and pebbles in orbit around the Sun coalesced into city-sized “planetesimals,” but had not yet merged into full-sized planets. Beyond Neptune, this second stage never happened, leaving behind a frozen population of planetesimals. For the complete material, the listing points back to the source inside the network.
