A Space Rocket Traveling Through Asteroids

A large rocket travels through a quiet zone of space filled with asteroid rocks. Spaced-out asteroids move alongside distant stars throughout the surrounding expanse.

Understanding Asteroids and Deep Space

Most asteroids in our solar system orbit the sun in a region between Mars and Jupiter known as the asteroid belt. Unlike in movies, real asteroids are millions of miles apart from one another, making navigation through the belt relatively safe for space probes. Asteroids are leftover material from the formation of the solar system over four billion years ago.

Natural Colors of Space Rocks and Starry Skies

  • Spacecraft exterior: reflective titanium gray, white, or high-visibility yellow
  • Asteroid surfaces: charcoal black, dark slate gray, or metallic brownish tones
  • Distant stars: pinpricks of bright white, soft blue, pale yellow, or light red
  • Open space sky: midnight black or deep indigo blue

Questions and Answers About Asteroids

What are asteroids made of?
Asteroids consist primarily of rock, clay, nickel, and iron, depending on how close they formed to the sun during early solar system history.
Why do stars shine in different colors in space?
A star's color indicates its surface temperature; blue stars are extremely hot, while yellow stars like our sun are medium temperature, and red stars are cooler.
