Astronomers have unearthed traces of nearly 2,000 new asteroids found by the Hubble Space Telescope but hidden in its files for 20 years.
Artificial intelligence has helped scientists discover a total of 1,701 new asteroid trails which could unlock the secrets of how Earth was formed.
Experts from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) in Munich, Germany, the Autonomous University of Madrid, and the Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy collaborated on the discovery.
