NASA Reveals What's HIDING in the Kuiper Belt? What is the Kuiper Belt? First proposed by astronomer Gerard Kuiper, The Kuiper Belt is an asteroid belt at the edge of our solar system. Gerard Kuiper proposed the Kuiper Belt long before Pluto was discovered. The Kuiper Belt consists of rocks, ice, and a few dwarf planets, including Pluto. The other dwarf planets found included Eris, Makemake, Quaoar, and Haumea, all dwarf planets. The most mysterious Kuiper Belt Object discovered so far is the 'space snowman', Arrokoth. NASA New Horizons probe witnessed the Arrokoth flyby and took some amazing images of the mysterious Kuiper Belt Object. What else did New Horizons see in the Kuper Belt? In this video, we explain the Kuiper Belt and take you inside the Kuiper Belt, to meet the objects discovered in the Kuiper Belt, and show you why the Kuiper Belt is important. Enjoy the great Kuiper Belt facts!
