The Gaia Telescope Discovers Hundreds of Asteroids with Moons

ESA's Spacecraft Reveals Potential Planetary Systems

Gaia's Discoveries Shed Light on Asteroid Evolution

The European Space Agency's (ESA) Gaia telescope has made a remarkable discovery, spotting 352 asteroids that appear to have moons.

Previously, Gaia had only explored binary asteroids (asteroids with moons), but this latest discovery suggests that moons may be more common among asteroids than previously thought.

If the findings are confirmed, the number of asteroids with moons will nearly double, providing valuable insights into how these small celestial bodies form and evolve.
