Asteroid – A Celestial Enigma

Asteroid – A Celestial Enigma Space is full of mysteries, and one of the most fascinating ones is the asteroid. These rocky, metallic objects have been zooming around the solar system for billions of years, minding their own business—until, of course, they crash into a planet. Then, suddenly, everyone cares! What Exactly is an Asteroid? Asteroids are basically space rocks. Some are tiny, no bigger than a pebble, while others are massive enough to cause global chaos (looking at you, dinosaur-extinction asteroid). They mostly hang out in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, which is kind of like a cosmic parking lot filled with space debris.
