1. We recently detected the farthest celestial body we have observed in the Solar System until now. This mass, named “Farout”, is the first of its kind discovered in a distance more than 100 times farther than Earth is from the Sun.
2. The metallic asteroids are composed of up to 80% iron and 20% a mixture of nickel, iridium, palladium, platinum, gold, magnesium and other precious metals such as osmium, ruthenium and rhodium. There are a few that are made up of half silicate and half metallic.
