Astronomers believe that there are 12 unknown large bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune. According to them, it is probably the second Kuiper belt.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, researchers beyond the Kuiper belt have managed to identify 12 new and large objects. With this new discovery, we can conclude that the solar system still has more unknowns than expected. According to the researchers, the new findings indicate that the second Kuiper belt is probably located in this region, which extends far beyond the first example and extends to the edge of our star.
It seems that the Sun has more influence than the 8 planets that revolve around it, and beyond Neptune and about 100 astronomical units or 100 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun, its influence has continued. Just at the edge of the solar system, or the boundary of the solar bubble, there is the sun’s weak gravity on a reservoir of comets and asteroids. The distance of this part with the name of August Cloud is about a thousand astronomical units and maybe more.
While identifying a new target location for the New Horizons spacecraft, researchers managed to discover 12 supermassive objects at a distance equal to 60 AU from the Sun. The research team of this project used data from the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii as well as artificial intelligence data to discover these objects.
