A new study explains the unusual acceleration behavior of the near-Earth asteroid 1998 KY26, which disproves previous explanations, and a Japanese spacecraft will soon visit it. #Asteroid #1998KY26 #Weltraum (translated)

Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have dismissed the theory that the asteroid 1998 KY26 is a dark comet, suggesting instead that it is likely a dehydrated asteroid, while the Japanese agency JAXA will send the Hayabusa2 probe in 2031 to investigate further. #1998KY26 #Cometas #Asteroides (translated)

A study published in Icarus questions the hypothesis of hidden ice in asteroid 1998 KY26, suggesting that its strange movement is likely due to factors such as solar radiation pressure and heat emitted by the asteroid itself. #Asteroidi #Nasa #Hayabusa2 (translated)

Asteroid 1998 KY26, measuring just 11 meters in diameter, continues to surprise scientists due to its inexplicable acceleration and rapid rotation, which has led to speculations about its origin, including the idea that it could be a missing Soviet probe, with answers expected in 2031 when the Japanese probe Hayabusa2 approaches to study it. #Asteroide1998KY26 #Hayabusa2 #ExploraciónEspacial (translated)

The asteroid 1998 KY26, which will be visited by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft in 2031, exhibits a mysterious acceleration behavior in vacuum that has led astronomers to reconsider its nature, ruling out the possibility that it is a disguised comet due to insufficient temperature to maintain ice. #Asteroidi #Spazio #CometeOscure (translated)

The mysterious asteroid 1998 KY26 is accelerating uncontrollably in a way that poses challenges for scientists in explaining it, and a new study suggests that the necessary water ice cannot survive long-term inside the body, while the anticipated Japanese probe Hayabusa2 could provide answers. #asteroid #věda #výzkum (translated)

The mysterious asteroid 1998 KY26, whose acceleration has been the subject of study, does not appear to be a 'disguised' comet due to its high temperature, which makes the preservation of the ice necessary for gas emissions unlikely. #KY26 #Hayabusa2 #cometoscure (translated)

Japońska sonda Hayabusa 2 pomyślnie przeleciała obok planetoidy Torifune, wykonując szereg zdjęć i zbierając dane naukowe, co stanowi pierwszy etap jej nowej misji rozszerzonej, mającej na celu zbadanie kolejnej planetoidy 1998 KY26 w 2031 roku. #Hayabusa2 #planetoida #badaniaKosmosu

Jaapani kosmosesond Hayabusa2 suundub asteroidile 1998 KY26, kuid uus teadusartikkel pakub välja, et see võib olla hoopis kaduma läinud Nõukogude kosmoseaparaat. #Hayabusa2 #asteroid #kosmos
