Scientists have discovered two asteroids that may actually be fragments of destroyed planets from our early solar system. These asteroids, (246) Asporina and (4125) Lew Allen, have similar spectral features to angrites, some of the oldest meteorites believed to have originated from planetesimals. This suggests that these asteroids could be some of the most ancient remnants of an early-formed planet in the early solar system.
The early solar system was a chaotic place, with many protoplanets forming and then colliding with each other. Some of these collisions were so violent that they destroyed the protoplanets, scattering their debris into the asteroid belt. It is possible that (246) Asporina and (4125) Lew Allen are fragments of one of these destroyed protoplanets.
If this is true, then these asteroids could provide valuable insights into the early solar system. They could tell us about the composition of the protoplanets and the processes that formed them. They could also help us understand how the planets in our solar system formed.
