What’s Inside the Kuiper Belt? 🪐 Frozen Edge of Our Solar System #Space #Astronomy Beyond Neptune lies the Kuiper Belt, a vast icy region stretching from 30 to 55 astronomical units from the Sun. This distant disk contains comets, dwarf planets like Pluto, and frozen debris left over from the formation of our solar system.
