New Kuiper Belt Discoveries Challenge Solar System Formation Theories

Astronomers using the Subaru Telescope and New Horizons spacecraft uncover unexpected objects far beyond Neptune.

11 new objects found beyond the previously known edge of the Kuiper Belt.
Discovery suggests the primordial solar nebula was larger than originally thought.
Findings could align our solar system's structure with other planetary systems in the galaxy.
Research indicates a possible new population of Kuiper Belt objects between 70 and 90 astronomical units from the Sun.
Ongoing observations aim to confirm these findings and understand their implications for planet formation.
