So, why aren’t these farflung KBOs considered part of the (much larger than expected) original Kuiper Belt? Well, there appears to be a gap of objects located between 55 AU and 70 AU from the ...

This region, known as the Kuiper Belt, is home to a diverse array of icy ... of planetesimal formation and the evolution of KBOs, as they highlight the complex geophysical processes at play ...

After exiting the Kuiper Belt it will enter the Oort Cloud ... It will, if possible, study other KBOs, though none are known near its trajectory, but from now on it’s expected to be focus ...

A new theory proposes that Pluto’s largest moon, Charon, was formed billions of years ago through a rare "kiss-and-capture" collision in the Kuiper Belt. This process involves two icy bodies ...

I perform observational research on Kuiper Belt Objects. And I had the privilege to intern at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory working on radical chemistry on KBOs. But I have strong interesting in ...
