Asteroid 6478...Gault was discovered last December and labelled as an active asteroid that left not one, but two trails behind it, just like a comet. Now, the same asteroid has been caught switching colours, from red to blue in near-infrared spectrum by astronomers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), United States. This is the first time in the history of extraterrestrial materials that that astronomers have seen any shift in colours in an asteroid.
Gault now glows in a blue tinge as a result of a less irradiated layer of the asteroid coming to light. According to the study’s co-author DeMeo, a change in the spectrum can be achieved with only a thin layer being removed. "It could be as thin as a single layer of grains just microns deep,” he explained.
The thing with Gault is that it is a rocky asteroid, found within the asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter. It’s a relatively average rock measuring around four kilometres that orbits the Sun from 344 million kilometers away. Now most comets are typically just loose bundles of ice and dust originating from cooler regions in the solar system. As they approach the Sun, they start getting hotter and their surface starts to melt away. The melting ice is what creates the comet’s characteristic tail.

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
Great. Even the asteroids are turning blue just before 2020.
Asteroid Zartan.
A gay asteroid.
Trying to make a rainbow.
Gays own the rainbow.
It’s a trans asteroid
God gave Noah the rainbow sign
No more water but the fire next time
Some call it Gault's Gulch.
Let's build a space ship and name her Ayn Rand, and head out soon!
Gays own the rainbow.
I disagree....God gave His believers the rainbow. It’s ours.
Who in the world spells “colors” with a “u”?
I mean, besides that band from Chicago with their Colour My World song.
Should have been Colour My Wourld.
What the heck was their name?
It’s right on the tip of my tongue.
They were from Chicago.
Lynrd Skynrd?
You must be thinking of Boston. Or maybe Kansas.

BTW, most of the English speaking world, except for us revolutionaries, spell "color" with the extra "u". It's Trump's fault for the difference, mind you.
In Scriptures, yes.
How do we claim it back in public?
Another person on Free Republic challenging my knowledge of Geography.
OK.
So I confused Hawaii and Rhode Island.
So what?
It’s an easy mistake.
Now you want me to think that Boston is Chicago.
Well, I know darn good and well that Boston isn’t Chicago.
It’s almost Schenectady, but not quite.
Did you know that most of the members of Kansas moved to LA and started a new band? Someone asked their name and they said, “Toto. We’re not in Kansas anymore.”
Who is John Gault?
Changed its hue as it neared Uranus.
Cloaking device?
