Kuiper belt: Objects and some facts

It was back in the past year when Pluto was discarded from the solar system. The reason was that the researchers and astronomers found many of the same looking objects around it. It was very difficult to include billions of them into the solar system and was easy to discard Pluto from it. The icy objects beyond the Neptune planet was previously coined as Pluto but the whole belt of that objects are now collectively called as Kuiper object. The whole of this object forms a belt and thus known as kuiper belt. This belt are known to be the orbit of Neptune.
Since this term and the concept was first given by the dutch astronomer Gerard kuiper thus is then named after him. It is extended somewhat like 45 degree across the sky. The kuiper belt objects are mostly composed of volatile substances and gases. Some of this gases include methane, ammonia and water. It is regarded as the basis series for the three dwarf planets they are Pluto, makemake, haumea.
        On behalf of this thing it was first proved due to the visitation of far comets to the solar system but though it was not confirmed because our universe is infinite and they may come from any part of the universe. This was find out finally in the year 1992 when researchers observed a slow moving object that is heading further far away and thus it was concluded to be Kuiper belt. However all the theory of Kuiper didn't go well right about it. The scientist told many of the theories about the kuiper they have predicted that there are more than one hundred thousand objects on the belt of kuiper and all of them are of very heavy size but our bad fortune, we are only able to find out nearly one thousand kuiper objects by far. In the same manner another thing that the scientist predicted was this objects wouldn't last long and they got succeed in it. They just fuse and collide with each other giving a huge bulk of dust and by this collision they would have no more existence in the future. It is located at the 30-40 amu from the earth and sun.
        It contains many comets and contains previous icy objects which were formed at the time of the solar system so could be used to study about the estimated age of the solar system and that of the planets.
