A classical Kuiper belt object, also called a cubewano (/ˌkjuːbiːˈwʌnoʊ/ "QB1-o"), is a low-eccentricity Kuiper belt object (KBO) that orbits beyond Neptune and is not controlled by an orbital resonance with Neptune. Cubewanos have orbits with semi-major axes in the 40–50AU range and, unlike Pluto, do not cross Neptune’s orbit. That is, they have low-eccentricity and sometimes low-inclination orbits like the classical planets.
The name "cubewano" derives from the first trans-Neptunian object (TNO) found after Pluto and Charon, (15760) 1992 QB1. Similar objects found later were often called "QB1-o's", or "cubewanos", after this object, though the term "classical" is much more frequently used in the scientific literature.
The Kuiper belt/ˈkaɪpər/ or /'køypǝr/ (as in Dutch), sometimes called the Edgeworth–Kuiper belt, is a circumstellar disc in the Solar System beyond the planets, extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30AU) to approximately 50AU from the Sun. It is similar to the asteroid belt, but it is far larger—20 times as wide and 20 to 200 times as massive. Like the asteroid belt, it consists mainly of small bodies, or remnants from the Solar System's formation. Although many asteroids are composed primarily of rock and metal, most Kuiper belt objects are composed largely of frozen volatiles (termed "ices"), such as methane, ammonia and water. The Kuiper belt is home to three officially recognized dwarf planets: Pluto, Haumea, and Makemake. Some of the Solar System's moons, such as Neptune's Triton and Saturn's Phoebe, are also thought to have originated in the region.
The Kuiper belt was named after Dutch-American astronomer Gerard Kuiper, though he did not actually predict its existence. In 1992, 1992 QB1 was discovered, the first Kuiper belt object (KBO) since Pluto. Since its discovery, the number of known KBOs has increased to over a thousand, and more than 100,000 KBOs over 100km (62mi) in diameter are thought to exist. The Kuiper belt was initially thought to be the main repository for periodic comets, those with orbits lasting less than 200 years. However, studies since the mid-1990s have shown that the belt is dynamically stable, and that comets' true place of origin is the scattered disc, a dynamically active zone created by the outward motion of Neptune 4.5billion years ago; scattered disc objects such as Eris have extremely eccentric orbits that take them as far as 100AU from the Sun.

Kuiper Belt: The Mystery Of The Missing Planets
Don't miss our: 11 Facts You Need To Know About The Kuiper Belt
https://youtu.be/XhnoYmvAxV8
A little mystery, coupled with a great disappointment, surrounded the early years of this century in the search for new planets in the region of the solar system known as the "Kuiper Belt." This search led to the discovery of several large asteroids or planetoids.
Anyone who followed the events of those years will also recall that after a period of exciting discoveries, culminating in 2003 with the finding of the significant Eris – even hailed at the time as "the tenth planet" – the flow of good news from the Kuiper Belt almost suddenly ceased. Since then, only routine discoveries and no new Eris on the horizon... This, despite the discoverers expressing optimism earlier about the possibility that...

9. What Is The Kuiper Belt?
Despite it being a major part of our solar system, there are many who honestly don't understand the grand scale and scope of the Kuiper Belt. So allow us to give you some perspective on the matter.
The Kuiper Belt is a circumstellar disc in the outer Solar System, extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU) to approximately 50 AU from the Sun. It is similar to the asteroid belt, but is far larger—20 times as wide and 20 to 200 times as massive.
Like the asteroid belt, it consists mainly of small bodies or remnants from when the Solar System formed.
In many respects, the Kuiper Belt is the "end" of our solar system in terms of things like the physical objects that are there and reachable. The "edge" of the solar system is a slightly different matter as that would either be the Heliosphere (if you go by magnetic fields) or the Oort Cloud, which is where the suns' gravity reaches the end of its influence.
But either way, the Kuiper Belt is a major part of our solar system in the literal and figurative sense. Which is rather interesting when you think about it because for a very long time we didn't understand what was truly in that realm of space as a whole.
8. The Discovery Of The Kuiper Belt
To truly understand the Kuiper Belt, we have to dive into something you're very familiar with, Pluto.
After the discovery of Pluto in 1930, many speculated that it might not be alone. The region now called the Kuiper belt was hypothesized in various forms for decades. It was only in 1992 that the first direct evidence for its existence was found. The number and variety of prior speculations on the nature of the Kuiper belt have led to continued uncertainty as to who deserves credit for first proposing it.
But let's go back to the beginning and just break it down from there, shall we?
The first astronomer to suggest the existence of a trans-Neptunian population was Frederick C. Leonard. Soon after Pluto's discovery by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, Leonard pondered whether it was "not likely that in Pluto there has come to light the first of a series of ultra-Neptunian bodies, the remaining members of which still await discovery but which are destined eventually to be detected".
That same year, astronomer Armin O. Leuschner suggested that Pluto "may be one of many long-period planetary objects yet to be discovered."
This is fascinating for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which is that the discovery of Pluto should have been a finite discovery, or one that led to more study of the planet and what it could mean as a whole. Yet many scientists looked upon it and wondered if it was telling us everything we needed to know about the region.
In 1943, in the Journal of the British Astronomical Association, Kenneth Edgeworth hypothesized that, in the region beyond Neptune, the material within the primordial solar nebula was too widely spaced to condense into planets, and so rather condensed into a myriad of smaller bodies.
From this he concluded that "the outer region of the solar system, beyond the orbits of the planets, is occupied by a very large number of comparatively small bodies" and that, from time to time, one of their number "wanders from its own sphere and appears as an occasional visitor to the inner solar system", becoming a comet.
That's not a bad way to describe what the Kuiper Belt really is, and he was right that by modern classifications, the various items in the belt weren't able to go and become fully-fledged planets. But more on that in a bit.

Hey Guys! Here " other 10 facts about the Kuiper Belt" : https://youtu.be/XhnoYmvAxV8
The Kuiper Belt is a disc-shaped region located beyond Neptune, stretching from approximately 30 to 55 astronomical units (AU) away from the sun, with Earth being one AU. It is believed that this remote region is inhabited by numerous icy bodies, each larger than 100 km (62 miles), and an estimated trillion or more comets. Here are 11 facts you need to know about the Kuiper Belt.
---
11) We have already made a video about the Kuiper Belt.
---
10) The first KB object was discovered in 1992
Pluto, a dwarf planet, stands out as one of the more recognizable objects within the expansive Kuiper Belt. Comets originating from this region complete their orbits around the sun in under 200 years, aligning closely with the plane in which the majority of planets orbit. These Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs), believed to be remnants from the solar system's formation roughly 4.6 billion years ago, gained attention relatively recently.
9) We have been to the KB in 1983
NASA's Pioneer 10 spacecraft became the first to venture into the Kuiper Belt area in 1983, surpassing Neptune's orbit. However, it did not explore any of the icy worlds within this region since only Pluto had been identified at the time. Voyager 2 later visited Neptune's moon Triton in 1989, and Cassini visited Saturn's moon Phoebe in 2004, potentially originating from the Kuiper Belt and escaping its grasp. The initial spacecraft to truly investigate a celestial body in the Kuiper Belt was NASA's New Horizons, which conducted a close flyby of Pluto and its moons in July 2015.
---
8) Arrokoth can be found in the KB
Upon closer examination, the object that initially resembled a snowman is actually a combination of two smaller objects that have been fused together for billions of years. These celestial bodies have been adrift in space, patiently waiting for us to observe them.
Arrokoth's surface has a uniform appearance and exhibits a reddish hue commonly found among objects in the Kuiper Belt.
---
7) The KB hosts the farthest object from the Sun: Farfarout
In 2018, astronomers made a groundbreaking announcement about the discovery of the most distant resident within our solar system. This tiny dwarf planet, provisionally named 2018 VG18 and affectionately nicknamed "Farout" by its discovery team, is situated at a distance 120 times farther from the sun than Earth.
---
6) Eris, KBO that could have been a planet
In July 2005, scientists made a significant finding: a Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) initially believed to be around 10 percent larger than Pluto. This object, temporarily named 2003UB313 and later called Eris, follows an orbit around the sun that takes approximately 560 years, with its distance ranging from about 38 to 98 astronomical units (AU). (For comparison, Pluto's orbit spans from 29 to 49 AU.

Would you believe me if I told you that researchers have found a brand new and possibly independent planetary system at the edge of the solar system? NASA has now revealed what is really hiding in the Kuiper Belt and it shows us a world full of bizarre objects that may follow completely different laws than the rest of the solar system. Countless small planets, extreme trans-Neptunian objects and enigmatic asteroids open our eyes to a world that was previously almost completely in the dark.

Out beyond the orbit of Neptune sits a vast frontier: the Kuiper Belt… and scientists are itching to know what's out there.
Made up of millions of icy and rocky objects, including dwarf planets, the Kuiper Belt is becoming a main attraction for scientists and researchers alike.

The Kuiper Belt is one of the most distant objects in the solar system, but although our astronomical observation technologies have improved dramatically during the last decades, we are still not able to observe all the objects in this distant region of the solar system, is for this reason why the Kuiper Belt is one of the most mysterious places and in this video, we will show you ten impressive things you should know about the Kuiper Belt.
11. Does not contain any asteroids
When talking about the Kuiper belt, it is usually described as an asteroid belt similar to the one between Mars and Jupiter but located beyond Neptune.
10. It is larger than the asteroid belt
Although our telescopes do not allow us to see all of the KBOs, thanks to data collected by the Minor Planet Center of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, we know that the number of KBOs can be up to 200 times more massive than the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
9. The Kuiper Ice
As we said in point 1, KBOs cannot be classified as asteroids since they are located outside the asteroid belt. Still, in addition to not being in the exact location, Kuiper belt objects have another difference concerning asteroids.
8. Neptune, the orchestra director
Although the distances between the planets in the solar system are vast, the gravity of giant planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune can influence each other and generate something called "Orbital Resonance."
7 . It's huge!
The central yellow dot is the Sun, the red dots with letters are the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and the disk with blue and orange dots are the KBOs known to date
6. Uncertain origin
Just as the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter has an uncertain origin, the Kuiper belt has a, until now, unknown origin.

20 And Back - The Super Soldiers Defending the Kuiper Belt
On April 7, 2016, the team running NASA’s New Horizons mission were waiting nervously. The spacecraft was about to enter the outermost reaches of our solar system.
They'd aimed toward Pluto. Which lives in a region of the solar system called the Kuiper Belt.
Just before arriving at the dwarf planet, the team noticed an object nearby. And it was acting very strange. This object, whatever it was, was spinning faster than everything else around it.
Too fast. Artificially fast. And the object reflected light in an odd way.
New Horizons changed course to do a fly-by. They wanted a better look at this bizarre behavior.
But as the spacecraft approached the object, all communications went down. NASA wasn't able to see or hear anything.
The New Horizons spacecraft suddenly put itself into safe mode.
But nothing was broken.
Something or someone was blocking the signal.
Whoever it was did *not* want NASA to know they were here.
And that they’ve been watching us for a very. long. time.

Don't miss our: 11 Facts You Need To Know About The Kuiper Belt

A little mystery, coupled with a great disappointment, surrounded the early years of this century in the search for new planets in the region of the solar system known as the "Kuiper Belt." This search led to the discovery of several large asteroids or planetoids.
Anyone who followed the events of those years will also recall that after a period of exciting discoveries, culminating in 2003 with the finding of the significant Eris – even hailed at the time as "the tenth planet" – the flow of good news from the Kuiper Belt almost suddenly ceased. Since then, only routine discoveries and no new Eris on the horizon... This, despite the discoverers expressing optimism earlier about the possibility that this remote region could host dozens of other objects the size of Eris and Pluto.
Could it be that the Kuiper Belt mine had already exhausted its best pieces? Or perhaps, more simply, had people grown tired of searching? Or was there something else?
The suspicion lingers... So, what if we tried to uncover the truth together with the help of this super interesting video?
Are you up for it? Great, let's get started then!

9. What Is The Kuiper Belt?
Despite it being a major part of our solar system, there are many who honestly don't understand the grand scale and scope of the Kuiper Belt. So allow us to give you some perspective on the matter.
The Kuiper Belt is a circumstellar disc in the outer Solar System, extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU) to approximately 50 AU from the Sun. It is similar to the asteroid belt, but is far larger—20 times as wide and 20 to 200 times as massive.
Like the asteroid belt, it consists mainly of small bodies or remnants from when the Solar System formed.
In many respects, the Kuiper Belt is the "end" of our solar system in terms of things like the physical objects that are there and reachable. The "edge" of the solar system is a slightly different matter as that would either be the Heliosphere (if you go by magnetic fields) or the Oort Cloud, which is where the suns' gravity reaches the end of its influence.
But either way, the Kuiper Belt is a major part of our solar system in the literal and figurative sense. Which is rather interesting when you think about it because for a very long time we didn't understand what was truly in that realm of space as a whole.
8. The Discovery Of The Kuiper Belt
To truly understand the Kuiper Belt, we have to dive into something you're very familiar with, Pluto.
After the discovery of Pluto in 1930, many speculated that it might not be alone. The region now called the Kuiper belt was hypothesized in various forms for decades. It was only in 1992 that the first direct evidence for its existence was found. The number and variety of prior speculations on the nature of the Kuiper belt have led to continued uncertainty as to who deserves credit for first proposing it.
But let's go back to the beginning and just break it down from there, shall we?
The first astronomer to suggest the existence of a trans-Neptunian population was Frederick C. Leonard. Soon after Pluto's discovery by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, Leonard pondered whether it was "not likely that in Pluto there has come to light the first of a series of ultra-Neptunian bodies, the remaining members of which still await discovery but which are destined eventually to be detected".
That same year, astronomer Armin O. Leuschner suggested that Pluto "may be one of many long-period planetary objects yet to be discovered."
This is fascinating for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which is that the discovery of Pluto should have been a finite discovery, or one that led to more study of the planet and what it could mean as a whole. Yet many scientists looked upon it and wondered if it was telling us everything we needed to know about the region.
In 1943, in the Journal of the British Astronomical Association, Kenneth Edgeworth hypothesized that, in the region beyond Neptune, the material within the primordial solar nebula was too widely spaced to condense into planets, and so rather condensed into a myriad of smaller bodies.
From this he concluded that "the outer region of the solar system, beyond the orbits of the planets, is occupied by a very large number of comparatively small bodies" and that, from time to time, one of their number "wanders from its own sphere and appears as an occasional visitor to the inner solar system", becoming a comet.
That's not a bad way to describe what the Kuiper Belt really is, and he was right that by modern classifications, the various items in the belt weren't able to go and become fully-fledged planets. But more on that in a bit.

Hey Guys! Here " other 10 facts about the Kuiper Belt" : https://youtu.be/XhnoYmvAxV8
The Kuiper Belt is a disc-shaped region located beyond Neptune, stretching from approximately 30 to 55 astronomical units (AU) away from the sun, with Earth being one AU. It is believed that this remote region is inhabited by numerous icy bodies, each larger than 100 km (62 miles), and an estimated trillion or more comets. Here are 11 facts you need to know about the Kuiper Belt.
---
11) We have already made a video about the Kuiper Belt.
---
10) The first KB object was discovered in 1992
Pluto, a dwarf planet, stands out as one of the more recognizable objects within the expansive Kuiper Belt. Comets originating from this region complete their orbits around the sun in under 200 years, aligning closely with the plane in which the majority of planets orbit. These Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs), believed to be remnants from the solar system's formation roughly 4.6 billion years ago, gained attention relatively recently.
9) We have been to the KB in 1983
NASA's Pioneer 10 spacecraft became the first to venture into the Kuiper Belt area in 1983, surpassing Neptune's orbit. However, it did not explore any of the icy worlds within this region since only Pluto had been identified at the time. Voyager 2 later visited Neptune's moon Triton in 1989, and Cassini visited Saturn's moon Phoebe in 2004, potentially originating from the Kuiper Belt and escaping its grasp. The initial spacecraft to truly investigate a celestial body in the Kuiper Belt was NASA's New Horizons, which conducted a close flyby of Pluto and its moons in July 2015.
---
8) Arrokoth can be found in the KB
Upon closer examination, the object that initially resembled a snowman is actually a combination of two smaller objects that have been fused together for billions of years. These celestial bodies have been adrift in space, patiently waiting for us to observe them.
Arrokoth's surface has a uniform appearance and exhibits a reddish hue commonly found among objects in the Kuiper Belt.
---
7) The KB hosts the farthest object from the Sun: Farfarout
In 2018, astronomers made a groundbreaking announcement about the discovery of the most distant resident within our solar system. This tiny dwarf planet, provisionally named 2018 VG18 and affectionately nicknamed "Farout" by its discovery team, is situated at a distance 120 times farther from the sun than Earth.
---
6) Eris, KBO that could have been a planet
In July 2005, scientists made a significant finding: a Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) initially believed to be around 10 percent larger than Pluto. This object, temporarily named 2003UB313 and later called Eris, follows an orbit around the sun that takes approximately 560 years, with its distance ranging from about 38 to 98 astronomical units (AU). (For comparison, Pluto's orbit spans from 29 to 49 AU.

Would you believe me if I told you that researchers have found a brand new and possibly independent planetary system at the edge of the solar system? NASA has now revealed what is really hiding in the Kuiper Belt and it shows us a world full of bizarre objects that may follow completely different laws than the rest of the solar system. Countless small planets, extreme trans-Neptunian objects and enigmatic asteroids open our eyes to a world that was previously almost completely in the dark.
Out beyond the orbit of Neptune sits a vast frontier: the Kuiper Belt… and scientists are itching to know what's out there.
Made up of millions of icy and rocky objects, including dwarf planets, the Kuiper Belt is becoming a main attraction for scientists and researchers alike.
NASA 360 joins Dr. William B. McKinnon, Department of Earth and Planetary Science, Washington University, as he addresses an audience at the Planetary Science: Vision 2050 Workshop about the distant and alluring Kuiper Belt.

The Kuiper Belt is one of the most distant objects in the solar system, but although our astronomical observation technologies have improved dramatically during the last decades, we are still not able to observe all the objects in this distant region of the solar system, is for this reason why the Kuiper Belt is one of the most mysterious places and in this video, we will show you ten impressive things you should know about the Kuiper Belt.
11. Does not contain any asteroids
When talking about the Kuiper belt, it is usually described as an asteroid belt similar to the one between Mars and Jupiter but located beyond Neptune.
10. It is larger than the asteroid belt
Although our telescopes do not allow us to see all of the KBOs, thanks to data collected by the Minor Planet Center of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, we know that the number of KBOs can be up to 200 times more massive than the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
9. The Kuiper Ice
As we said in point 1, KBOs cannot be classified as asteroids since they are located outside the asteroid belt. Still, in addition to not being in the exact location, Kuiper belt objects have another difference concerning asteroids.
8. Neptune, the orchestra director
Although the distances between the planets in the solar system are vast, the gravity of giant planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune can influence each other and generate something called "Orbital Resonance."
7 . It's huge!
The central yellow dot is the Sun, the red dots with letters are the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and the disk with blue and orange dots are the KBOs known to date
6. Uncertain origin
Just as the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter has an uncertain origin, the Kuiper belt has a, until now, unknown origin.

20 And Back - The Super Soldiers Defending the Kuiper Belt
On April 7, 2016, the team running NASA’s New Horizons mission were waiting nervously. The spacecraft was about to enter the outermost reaches of our solar system.
They'd aimed toward Pluto. Which lives in a region of the solar system called the Kuiper Belt.
Just before arriving at the dwarf planet, the team noticed an object nearby. And it was acting very strange. This object, whatever it was, was spinning faster than everything else around it.
Too fast. Artificially fast. And the object reflected light in an odd way.
New Horizons changed course to do a fly-by. They wanted a better look at this bizarre behavior.
But as the spacecraft approached the object, all communications went down. NASA wasn't able to see or hear anything.
The New Horizons spacecraft suddenly put itself into safe mode.
But nothing was broken.
Something or someone was blocking the signal.
Whoever it was did *not* want NASA to know they were here.
And that they’ve been watching us for a very. long. time.

Don't miss our: 11 Facts You Need To Know About The Kuiper Belt
https://youtu.be/XhnoYmvAxV8
A little mystery, coupled with a great disappointment, surrounded the early years of this century in the search for new planets in the region of the solar system known as the "Kuiper Belt." This search led to the discovery of several large asteroids or planetoids.
Anyone who followed the events of those years will also recall that after a period of exciting discoveries, culminating in 2003 with the finding of the significant Eris – even hailed at the time as "the tenth planet" – the flow of good news from the Kuiper Belt almost suddenly ceased. Since then, only routine discoveries and no new Eris on the horizon... This, despite the discoverers expressing optimism earlier about the possibility that this remote region could host dozens of other objects the size of Eris and Pluto.
Could it be that the Kuiper Belt mine had already exhausted its best pieces? Or perhaps, more simply, had people grown tired of searching? Or was there something else?
The suspicion lingers... So, what if we tried to uncover the truth together with the help of this super interesting video?

A classical Kuiper belt object, also called a cubewano (/ˌkjuːbiːˈwʌnoʊ/ "QB1-o"), is a low-eccentricity Kuiper belt object (KBO) that orbits beyond Neptune and is not controlled by an orbital resonance with Neptune. Cubewanos have orbits with semi-major axes in the 40–50AU range and, unlike Pluto, do not cross Neptune’s orbit. That is, they have low-eccentricity and sometimes low-inclination orbits like the classical planets.
The name "cubewano" derives from the first trans-Neptunian object (TNO) found after Pluto and Charon, (15760) 1992 QB1. Similar objects found later were often called "QB1-o's", or "cubewanos", after this object, though the term "classical" is much more frequently used in the scientific literature.
The observations support the search for KuiperBelt objects (KBO) for New Horizons to explore next ... That’s because the team had to adjust for the speed of the Kuiper Belt objects ... The black dots represent classical Kuiper Belt objects.
There are the classical KuiperBelt Objects (KBOs) and scattered disc objects ... those questions is to study the surface properties of Kuiper Belt Objects and, in particular, icy rocks like Mors-Somnus.
