Earlier, this office reported findings concerning the outer reaches of our solar system, this is a continuation of that report. The Kuiper belt is believed to extend from an area just outside the orbit of Neptune to a distance of more than a few hundred times that of the Earth’s distance to the sun.

Research into the composition of the materials inside the Kuiper belt show objects [of which it is believed Pluto, its moon: Charon, and Neptune’s moon: Triton, were members] of sizes ranging from 125 miles across.

But the Kuiper belt is not so unusual, with it’s dusty belt, our solar system is really no different than is Beta Pictoris, or Vega, or the many other systems in the Milky Way, this due to the belts very existence.

Though not as massive as once considered, the Kuiper belt is a museum of materials preserving evidence of what our solar system was like back in the days of its earliest creation.
