While no spacecraft
has ever studied the Kuiper Belt up close as of now, New Horizons will explore
it once it studies Pluto in 2015. Even
though scientists are waiting for the information delivered by New Horizons,
they continue to study the data they currently and try to verify theories about
the space.
The Kuiper Belt can be separated into reduced divisions. The
classical Kuiper Belt is the more densely inhabited sector of the Kuiper
Belt. The classical Kuiper Belt is found
between 42 and 48 au from the Sun. The space is unaffected by Neptune’s
gravitational effect for the most part and because of this the objects there
can continue to be unchanging in their orbits.
