Astronomers analyzing archival data from the Subaru Telescope have discovered a dozen previously unknown objects orbiting beyond 60 astronomical units (AU), suggesting that the Kuiper Belt may extend farther than previously believed. The findings, which have not yet been peer-reviewed, also indicate a potential gap between two distinct belts. Observations from the New Horizons space probe support these findings, as higher-than-expected levels of space dust suggest a larger population of space rocks. New Horizons is expected to reach 60 AU in October 2024, potentially allowing for a closer study of these newfound objects.
