Asteroids may help deliver chemical ingredients for life in planetary systems outside our own!
ExoasteroidsAbout Exoasteroids
Do you ever wonder what the future holds for our solar system? The Sun will eventually become a dense, planet-sized object called a white dwarf. That means studying the white dwarfs we see in the sky can provide a glimpse into our own solar system's fate! Help astronomers discover debris disks and asteroids around white dwarfs using images taken by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope.
