Hubble Reveals Pluto-Sized Collision Created Cosmic Cat's Tail

Astronomers using Hubble identified a 'cosmic cat's tail' as debris from a collision between two Pluto-sized bodies, highlighting the gravitational influence of massive planets on distant icy objects. The finding is based on telescope observations and modeling, with the exact collision timing and composition still uncertain. This advances understanding of planetary system dynamics and Kuiper Belt-like processes.
