Venus Ping!..................
The headline is wrong. The article says the asteroids are in the same orbit as Venus, not orbiting the planet.
Not news ... for a long time assteroids have been orbiting Uranus
One more truck of flaming grant money, please.
I believe there are asteroids called Trojans which have orbits tied to Jupiter, either 60 degrees ahead or 60 degrees behind Jupiter. So it would make sense for the same thing to happen with other planets, although Venus' relative proximity to the sun may make it harder to keep the asteroids under control.
Does the earth have any asteroids like this?
Am I the only one to suggest that NASA is Fake News, and is really just a huge money sucking vortex.
Swarming like flies on honey. And no one ever noticed this before?
As you would expect from a mass hurled out of Jupiter - it would have a lot of debris surrounding it - cf Velikovski
Almost as if Venus came through the solar system as a comet and swept up some asteroids in its wake.......paging Dr. Velikovsky.....
What is on the far side of the sun - and possibly in earth’s orbit? Might “physics” require at least some object - Orbital Opposites - that affect the shape of the orbital path?
For example, with not counter-balance on the far side, the orbit is less round; but with some object as a counter-balance, then the orbit is more round?
I have no clue, obviously - never thought of the matter, before.
A Venusian asteroid belt? That’s a fascinating prospect. Also a little disturbing. How ironic would it be if after all these years we’ve been looking towards the outer solar system for near Earth asteroids as threats, we get slammed by one from the inner solar system that we didn’t even know existed.
Just my luck...
A Venus with roides...
Roll over on your tummy honey
You’ll be more comfortable...
Ah, yes the moons of my delight!!!
