Witt's Asteroids
Witt's Asteroids are a group of small celestial bodies located in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. They are named after the astronomer Hermann Witt, who discovered them in the early 20th century. These asteroids vary in size and composition, with some being rocky and others containing metals or ice.
The study of Witt's Asteroids helps scientists understand the formation and evolution of our solar system. By analyzing their orbits and physical properties, researchers can gain insights into the history of planetary formation and the potential for resources in space exploration.
