Summary
Hubble and James Webb have revealed surprising clues about tiny icy worlds at the edge of the Solar System. Studying objects as small as 5 kilometers across, astronomers found that these distant bodies preserve ancient colors and compositions while showing far fewer small objects than current models predict. The findings offer a rare glimpse into the original building blocks of the planets. Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos.
