First ever quadruple Asteroid system discovered in our solar system!
A team of researchers from Thailand and France have discovered the first known quadruple Asteroid system in our solar system. A third moon has been spotted orbiting the main-belt asteroid Elektra which was already known to have two moons in its orbit. As per the data collected by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile in 2014, a third moonlet was hidden earlier. However, a new data-processing algorithm developed by Anthony Berdeu of the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand takes a fresh look at observations of Elektra from 2014.
