Lost in space (artist's impression)
This video shows an artist’s impression of the exiled asteroid 2004 EW95, the first carbon-rich asteroid confirmed to exist in the Kuiper Belt and a relic of the primordial Solar System. This asteroid orbits the Sun in the icy outer reaches of the Solar System due to past interactions with migrating planets.
