New results from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Explorer, or WISE, reveal that the Jovian Trojans -- asteroids that lap the sun in the same orbit as Jupiter -- are uniformly dark with a hint of burgundy color, and have matte surfaces that reflect little sunlight. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Yes, but are these colors Sharia-compliant?

Because that’s NASA’s focus these days...

?? I wonder how all these objects of differing mass and size can maintain the same orbit around the sun as their parent planet?? I would think that gravitational pull would differ.
