Beyond Neptune lies the Kuiper Belt, a vast expanse of icy bodies that may hold clues to the solar system’s formation. These ...

It is even suspected that there are tens of thousands of objects with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers. "Surprisingly, many of these so-called trans-Neptunian objects move on eccentric ...

Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) are celestial bodies located in the outer solar system, beyond the orbit of Neptune. This region, known as the Kuiper Belt, is home to a diverse array of icy bodies ...

The organic material found in a few areas on the surface of dwarf planet Ceres is probably of exogenic origin. Impacting ...

Artistic representation of the distribution of trans-Neptunian objects in the planetesimal disk, with overlaid representative spectra of each compositional group highlighting the dominant ...

It’s also thought to be populated by comets and some odd objects that astronomers call Trans-Neptunian Objects. One of the TNOs is Sedna, an icy, reddish object that rotates every 40 Earth-days.

The Planet Nine theory was based on several trans-Neptunian objects, those that are beyond the eighth planet, with highly “tilted” orbits compared to the ecliptic plane. This seemed odd and ...

When astronomers found a large world farther out than Pluto, it became one of the final nails in the coffin of our ninth ...

Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, holds fascinating clues about the origins of organic molecules in ou.

Given the typical orbit of an observatory about L2, the observational baseline of ~1.5 × 10⁶ km between L2 and Earth results in an instantaneous parallax of ~10″–100″, even for the most distant of ...
