Subaru Telescope uncovers “fossil” from the early days of our solar system
Scientists using the Subaru Telescope on Maunakea have discovered a new celestial object that could provide groundbreaking insight into the earliest days of our Solar System. The object, officially named 2023 KQ14 and affectionately nicknamed “Ammonite” by the research team, is believed to be a preserved relic—or “fossil”—from the Solar System’s infancy.

An ancient star system has been detected with the help of two Maunakea observatories on Hawaiʻi Island – W. M. Keck Observatory and Canada-France-Hawaiʻi Telescope – and the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy’s Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System on Haleakalā, according to a Keck Observatory announcement.
