A team of astronomers have found results that show that the "Trojan asteroids" orbiting Mars formed from a cluster of parts that had been separated from it in the past.
While many theories confirm that the "Trojan asteroids" orbiting Mars arose from the formation of the solar system and settled in that area of the universe, astronomers from the United States have come to hypotheses that show the opposite of that information.
"The VLT spectroscopy of eight Trojan asteroids showed that their composition is very similar to that of Mars, and the elements on it have the same origin as the elements of the red planet," the scientists said in an interview with Nature Astronomy. "The rocks on the surface of Mars and those asteroids are rich Pyroxene, peridot and agate, and many other minerals and precious stones that exist on a number of planets of the solar system.

"We think that these asteroids are objects that separated from Mars in the past, as a result of a large meteoroid collision, and began to spin in orbit, did not come from the belt asteroids between Mars and Jupiter as scientists had thought in the past.
Martian asteroids are a group of objects that share the same orbit of Mars around the Sun and can be found around the Lagrange points that lie in front of and behind the Red Planet. These celestial objects are the focus of many astronomers, many of whom differ from the origin of their origin.

Ever since Stephen Hawking announced that humans have 100 years to move out from earth I have been thinking about the different options that are available nearby. Mars does seem an option but only in a controlled environment.
I believe there is an option that is available millions of light years away and the technology to travel long distances fast is not going to be available in the near future. If something can be created for beaming humans down wherever possible it will prevent the human race from becoming extinct.
Thanks for putting out this useful information!

Thanks! I didn't know about those new VLT results.
Maybe could you consider adding to your post a few more references soi that people could click and get more information? (In other words, citing your sources :). Thanks in advance four your consideration!

Great article!
I wonder if the moons of mars are part of the same asteroids?
...upvoted and resteemed!
