Those of you following NASA's New Horizons know the interplanetary space probe made the farthest-ever flyby in human history on New Year's Day, when it circled Ultima Thule, an object in Kuiper Belt.

New Horizons, which performed history's first flyby of Pluto this past July, took four photos of a 90-mile-wide (150 kilometers) Kuiper Belt object called 1994 JR1 on Nov. 2, from a distance of ...

This photo of the Kuiper Belt object Ultima Thule (2014 MU69) reveals a new clue into the object's shape just ahead of New Horizons' closest approach on Jan. 1, 2019.

Each of those show a Kuiper Belt object: The one on the left is known as 2012 HZ84, and on the right is 2012 HE85. These new record-setting images are also the closest-ever images taken of KBOs.

Thirty years ago, astronomers found the Kuiper Belt, a region of space home to Pluto and other icy worlds that helped show how the solar system evolved.

New Horizons has been incredibly successful at exploring the outer solar system, providing the first detailed images of both the dwarf planet Pluto and a smaller Kuiper Belt object (KBO) called ...

So, after exploring Pluto in 2015, New Horizons, started on its secondary mission to explore 2014 MU69, a Kuiper Belt Object (KBO), which it should reach in 2019.

A new image of objects in the distant Kuiper Belt, shared by Nasa, is most distant picture ever taken. It was beamed back to Earth from the New Horizons spacecraft, which shot the data 3.79 ...

The mission provided detailed images and data of the object, which is located approximately 4 billion miles from Earth in the Kuiper Belt, a region of icy bodies beyond Neptune.

NASA's New Horizons division continues analysis of Pluto data, while planning probe's next fly-by destination, an object named 2014 MU69 in the Kuiper belt.

The Kuiper Belt showed higher levels of dust than models suggested. The dust is a symptom of its environment and could mean several things that the New Horizons team hopes to one day answer.
