NASA 's Hubble finds Kuiper Belt duo may be trio.

Team of researchers say it is likely a stable trio of icy space rocks.

If confirmed as the second such three -body system found in the region, the 148780 Altjira system suggests there could be similar triples waiting to be discovered.

Altjira is 10 times larger than Arrokoth at 124 miles ( 200 kilometers ) wide.

NASA 's James Webb Space Telescope is also joining in on the study of the system.

An eclipsing season, where the outer body passes in front of the central body, is giving scientists a great opportunity to learn more about it.
