" The finding could mean that many or most of asteroid-like objects hovering around Jupiter and known as Trojans are actually comets that originated much farther from the Sun and which were captured by the giant gas planet when the solar system was still young.
The findings were detailed in the Feb. 2 issue of the journal Nature."
