It initially puzzled astronomers due to its comet-like tail and unusual structure.

Astronomers believe that P/2010 A2 is the result of a collision between two asteroids. This event likely occurred at speeds exceeding 5 kilometers per second (about 18,000 kilometers per hour)

Asteroid P/2010 A2 is a unique celestial object located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

It was discovered on January 6, 2010 by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project.
