New Data Reveals Massive Asteroid Collision in Beta Pictoris Star System

Broke On: Monday, 10 June 2024 Astronomers have identified a cataclysmic asteroid collision in the Beta Pictoris star system, which occurred approximately 20 years ago. The violent impact ejected an unprecedented amount of dust, around 100,000 times more than the dust released during the asteroid impact that caused the extinction of dinosaurs on Earth. Recent observations using the James Webb Space Telescope revealed a significant decrease in dust surrounding Beta Pictoris, which was explained by a massive asteroid collision between two large bodies within the system.
