This problem has now come up again after scientists—using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the W. M. Keck Observatory—observed that the Kuiper Belt system Altjira could be a triple system.

It's a new type of three-body problem for astronomers, who used the Hubble Space Telescope to determine that twin asteroids in the Kuiper Belt could be triplets.
