Kuiper is an outer region of the Solar System that extends from the orbit of the planet Neptune, called Edgeworth , about 30 ...
A vast region of our solar system, called the Kuiper belt, stretches from the orbit of Neptune out to 50 or so astronomical units (AU), where an AU is the distance between Earth and the sun. This ...
Astronomers have discovered a new, previously unnoticed concentration of icy bodies in the Kuiper Belt, dubbed the 'inner ...
The Very Large Telescope's SPHERE instrument captured unprecedented images of 51 dusty rings shaping young planetary systems.
Astronomers have spotted an intriguing cluster of objects in the Kuiper belt, an enormous, donut-shaped region of icy objects beyond Neptune.
Fresh mapping of the outer solar system has revealed a previously unseen pattern in the Kuiper Belt, the icy ring of debris beyond Neptune that has long been treated as a relatively simple torus of ...
According to Princeton researchers, the classical belt's structure should be understood as consisting of three major ...
"Similar to the asteroid belt, the Kuiper Belt is a region of leftovers from the solar system's early history. Like the asteroid belt, it has also been shaped by a giant planet, although it's more of ...
Observations with the instrument SPHERE at ESO's Very Large Telescope have produced an unprecedented gallery of "debris disks" in exoplanetary systems.
Traces of comets and asteroids in distant solar systems: In young planetary systems, mutual collisions between asteroids or ...
Using the SPHERE instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope, astronomers have created an extraordinary set of images showing debris disks in a wide ...
In young planetary systems, mutual collisions between asteroids or comets generate large amounts of dust, forming a "debris ...
