What is the Kuiper Belt ?Hahn, Joseph M
The icy bodies in the Kuiper Belt are called "Kuiper Belt Objects" (I know, creative), or KBOs for short. Pluto is the best-known KBO, and one of the reasons it was demoted from being a planet was that thousands of other KBOs have been discovered orbiting in the same region. Only P...

less than 200 years and exist in the Kuiper Belt just beyond Neptune, while long-period comets take longer to orbit the Sun and exist in the Oort Cloud even farther away. With an orbital period of about 71 years, the dubbed "devil comet" has made a closer-than-ever pass-by of Earth...
We’ve all seen lighthouses on Earth, a spinning light atop a tower that is meant to keep ships from coming to close ashore at night. These lighthouse | Space
found at an accelerating rate, and by the early 1850s, the term "asteroids" gradually came into common use. So too did the term "Asteroid Belt", though it is unclear who coined that particular term. However, the term "Main Belt" is often used to distinguish it from theKuiper Belt. ...
