P/2010 A2: Unusual Asteroid Tail Implies Powerful Collision
P/2010 A2 is an unusual object with a comet-like tail, first discovered by LINEAR. Hubble Space Telescope observations revealed a 140-meter nucleus offset from the tail's center and no discernible gas. This structure suggests a powerful collision between asteroids created this unique object.
