But the lightnings in space subsided by degrees; its accidental brilliancy died away; the asteroids dispersed in different directions and were extinguished in the distance.
The total mass of the asteroids cannot exceed one-fourth that of the earth, and is probably much less.
A vast number of asteroids has been discovered, and the width of the zone occupied by them found to be much more extensive.
Between Mars and Jupiter lay a broad belt in which the asteroids swung.
We’ll duck behind Vesta or another of the big asteroids and hide so their screens won’t pick up our motion.
One theory said the asteroids were formed when a planet exploded.
In making this suggestion, the author is well aware that Ephemerides of the four chief asteroids have been given annually in the Greenwich Nautical Almanac; but for the object proposed they are utterly useless.
Eight bodies, uncomfortable and pain-wracked, floated in space, chained to tiny asteroids that drifted slowly in their orbits under the constant pull of the sun.
We picked up the whole lot of them last week; they're occupying the asteroids now.
The evidence, except as to the asteroids and Mercury, is not favorable to the planetesimal hypothesis, unless we make special assumptions as to the distribution of materials in the spiral nebulae.
Of the physical composition of the asteroids and of the character of their surfaces we are entirely ignorant.
This object was at first regarded merely as forming an addition of no special importance to the 432 asteroids whose discovery had preceded it.
William Herschel sanctioned this theory, and suggested the name asteroids for the tiny planets.
From then on the finding of asteroidsbecame a commonplace.
They had now a straight stretch of over three hundred million miles, and had to cross the orbits of innumerable asteroids on the way.
Our little solar system contains, as we know, about one thousand planets, satellites, and asteroids large enough to be dignified by the name of heavenly bodies.
If the zone of asteroids had a common point through which they all successively passed, they could be unhesitatingly asserted to be the remains of an exploded planet.
At first sight, and to ordinary careful inspection, this differs from the zone of asteroids in being a solid lump of matter, like a quoit.
Saturn's ring is, in fact, a very concentrated zone of minor asteroids, and there is every reason to conclude that the origin of the solar asteroids cannot be very unlike the origin of the Saturnian ones.
No more asteroids were discovered till 1845, but there are now several hundreds known.
I should keep well within the limit of that early excess now, and should not liken the creation of Shakespeare to the creation of any heavenly body bigger, say, than one of the nameless asteroids that revolve between Mars and Jupiter.

Asteroids plunged down upon them, wiping them out.
Don't they say that the mountains on the moon were made by asteroids falling on it?

Yet there are the orbits of one hundred and ninety-two asteroids so interlaced that, if they were made of wire, no one could be lifted without raising the whole net-work of them.
The chain of asteroids is an illustration of meteoric bodies on a large scale.
They are too distant from one another to exchange signals, except, perhaps, the fleet of asteroids that sail the azure between Mars and Jupiter.
The forces which produced this difference in the period of rotation may have contended for the mastery in that part of our solar system where the asteroids are found; and the disruption may have resulted from such conflict of forces.
Two other asteroids were found in this year; and two in 1851.
But the stony asteroids provide them with their oxygen.
It is certainly an uncomfortable idea to suppose that the asteroids are the fragments of a former world, perhaps accompanied with satellites which have been scattered either by internal convulsion or external violence.
