       Webb Space Telescope 'Unexpectedly' Spots Faraway Aste,
       considered small, is about the size of the Colosseum in Rome.

       Imagine spotting Rome's Colosseum from 62 million miles away.
       That's basically what the James Webb Space Telescope did when it
       detected a previously unknown asteroid. The object—likely the
       smallest observed to date by Webb—is an estimated 300- to
       650-feet long.

       data from the calibration
       of the Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI), the group stumbled upon
       what the European Space Agency (ESA) calls "an interloping
       asteroid." "We—completely unexpectedly—detected a small asteroid
       in publicly available MIRI calibration observations," according
       to Thomas Müller, an astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for
       Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany.

       The measurements are some of the first MIRI measurements
       targeting the ecliptic plane and our work suggests that many new
       objects will be detected with this instrument." Scientists found
       this majorly minor planet hiding among calibration images of the
       main-belt asteroid (10920) 1998 BC1, which astronomers
       discovered 25 years ago. During recent analysis of the MIRI
       data, the team identified the squatter in the same field of
       view. The Colosseum-sized planetoid, according to NASA and ESA,
       may be an example of an object measuring fewer than 0.6 miles in
       length within the main asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter.
       Additional observations are needed; if confirmed, this new
       discovery could help pave the way for better understanding the
       formation and evolution of our solar system. RECOMMENDED BY OUR
