Astronomers have uncovered a distant celestial body that may be a new dwarf planet, orbiting the Sun from more than twice the distance of Pluto. Found by researchers at the Institute for Advanced ...

Because the Kuiper Belt was thought to end at a distance of about 48 AU, the Solar System used to seem small compared to exosolar systems, where there are still objects floating around 150 AU from ...

Their unique nature has to do with their relative distance from both the Sun and the “first” Kuiper Belt, which lies roughly 35 to 55 astronomical units (AU) out from the center of our Solar ...
