2019 UO14 is the first confirmed Trojan asteroid to be found in the solar system.

Asteroids are space rocks that share a planet's orbit, either remaining ahead of or behind the planet.

Jupiter 's influence is responsible for the amount of Trojans in its orbit, and this influence interferes with Saturn 's ability to build its own Trojan family.

The team's research is available to view as a preprint on the paper repository arXiv.com.

The excitement level is up, and we'll be looking carefully to spot the next one.

The research was published in Physics World , New Scientist , Astronomy Magazine and All About Space .
