The Kuiper Belt
The Kuiper Belt is a region of the Solar System beyond the orbit of Neptune. It contains a population of icy bodies and is associated with the outer solar system and trans-Neptunian objects.
The Kuiper Belt is discussed in planetary science, solar system dynamics, and studies of small Solar System bodies.
Status
The Kuiper Belt has been characterized through telescopic surveys and spacecraft observations. Models of its structure, population distribution, and dynamical history continue to be refined.
