A Hyper-Velocity Impact In the Asteroid Belt?

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday January 19, 2010 @03:38AM from the i-played-that-game dept.

astroengine writes "Astronomers have spotted something rather odd in the asteroid belt. It looks like a comet, but it's got a circular orbit, similar to an asteroid. Whether it's an asteroid or a comet, it has a long, comet-like tail, suggesting something is being vented into space. Some experts think it could be a very rare comet/asteroid hybrid being heated by the sun, but there's an even more exciting possibility: It could be the first ever observation of two asteroids colliding in the asteroid belt."

A complete sentence? by AP31R0N · 2010-01-19 04:28 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Subby, what the fuck is so hard about forming a complete sentence? If you're going to resort to a lame ass question headline, could you at least make it a question that ASKS SOMETHING?
