Tanga Belt Alpha

The Tanga belt alpha is an asteroid belt in the unclaimed Tanga system. Astronomers hypothesize that its asteroids are the remains of one or more terrestrial planets that broke apart when the star expanded into a red giant. Since then, the star has collapsed into a white dwarf, leaving a vast empty gap between the belt and its sun. Many of the asteroids, long-exposed to the heat of the white dwarf, have been sublimated into ovoid shapes.
