Asteroids come from the asteroid belt in outer space.

“Asteroids come from the asteroid belt in outer space.”

Yep. Jupiter’s gravity occasionally sends hunks of rock from the asteroid belt our way. The only thing this study seems to have done is narrow it down to one part of the asteroid belt.

To be fair, they only said that “scientists think they know...”.

Scientists say that a lot and they turn out to be wrong a lot.
