Scientists believe that the planets were formed from millions of objects orbiting the sun. Understanding the history of a planet like Earth requires understanding how things behave. Especially asteroid collisions. Asteroids are believed to be fossilized remains from the early days of the solar system. Such objects provide clues about how Earth and other planets formed 4.5 billion years ago.
One of the interesting ones is the asteroid Dinkinesh, which NASA's Lucy spacecraft revealed in November 2023. Dinkinesh is not alone but there is also one satellite named SLAM, which is connected to each other in a way that is connected to each other. It seemed as if two bodies were slowly merging into one. Written by Dinkenish and Salam It is considered the smallest asteroid from the main asteroid belt of our solar system. It is located between the planets. The diameter of the planets Mars and Jupiter is about 720 meters. Planet Salam consists of two waves similar in size, one of which is about 230 meters wide and the other is about 210 meters wide. It revolves around Dinkenish every few months.
Based on a detailed analysis of images taken by the Lucy spacecraft, scientists found large troughs and ridges on the surface of the Kenish soil. It was found that at some points the Kenish soil lost up to a quarter of its mass, and later, part of the mass settled on the surface of the Kenish soil and formed hills. While the other part is still hovering in orbit. Two moons formed, then collided with each other, giving birth to the asteroid Salam.
