If it has the right composition, it is probably cold enough, when away from the sun to be a high temperature superconductor, right? Thus it would expel the magnetic field and accelerate away from say - Jupiter, which has by far the strongest magnetic field in the solar system Here is an article on SC material found in meteorites Superconducting materials found in meteorites | | | | | | | | | | | Superconducting materials found in meteorites Discovery highlights capability of new, high-throughput screening method | | |
