    In the universe, the solar system can be said to be a small part of human research, and in the past 70 years, scientists have been studying the outer solar system region in addition to the study of the interior of the solar system, because they have always believed that there are some "celestial bodies" outside, and for these small volume of "celestial bodies", this may be an important part of the formation of a new planet, in the early days, scientists believed that the radius of this part of the celestial body is about 1 to 10 kilometers (to miles), And in order to confirm their existence, scientists did not stop exploring, and finally got results.

    According to scientific reports, astronomers at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan have found evidence of the existence of these partial celestial bodies, and near the orbit of Pluto, they have found a representative of a small "kilometer-sized" Kuiper Belt "celestial body" with a radius of kilometers (miles) "diameter kilometers". Since this small "celestial body" cannot be directly observed, it is a small size and faint celestial body, so a "star occultation" mode is used to recognize it.

    During the entire observation, the astronomers selected 2,000 stars and observed them for a total of 60 hours with the help of two small 28-centimeter (11-inch) telescopes. It turned out to be evidence of a smile, known as an "MSI", and this "MSI" orbits the Sun at a distance of 32 astronomical units (AU). This actually puts it within the orbital range of Pluto, which is between 29 au and 49 au.

    For this discovery, it can be regarded as a feat in science.

    Of course, scientists have also obtained a lot of data on asteroids for the study of the Kuiper Belt, such as the "space rock" found outside the orbit of Neptune, which scientists believe is a remnant of the early solar system, and some dwarf planets such as Pluto (2,377 km) and 2014 MU69 (31 km). Pluto has been classified as a dwarf planet, not a planet belonging to the solar system, here we need to know that there are only eight planets in our solar system, of course, for whether Pluto is considered a "real" planet, return to the ranks of the nine planets, this is also a point of controversy, we will not discuss it here, of course, for this small celestial body, it is even more unlikely to be the ninth planet.

    Of course, for the discovery of these small celestial bodies, this may reveal some of the mysteries of the planets in our solar system, such as the earth, the formation of the earth still has no definite scientific basis, it is in continuous inference, and the kuiper belt (kuiper belt) is considered to be the starting point of the emergence of the planets, if we can track the discovery of Japanese astronomers, then it is possible to unravel the mystery of the formation of the earth in the future, of course, this study is still relatively difficult, We only hope that this data will break through in the future, thank you for reading!

    The mystery of the formation of the Earth is likely to be the formation of celestial bodies on another planet, which then slowly gave rise to life, and then finally became the Earth.

    It is very likely that the mystery of the formation of the earth is directly related to this celestial body, and it is possible that the sun and some celestial bodies collided in some way, and then a very large earth was formed, and then it was formed.

    This discovery does not solve the mystery of the formation of the Earth, which is one of the most common phenomena in the universe.

In fact, the diameter of the solar system is about 2 light years, and 1 light year is the radius of the solar system. At present, the fastest spacecraft capable of long-distance space flight is Voyager 1, with a speed of 17 kilometers per second, and it will take 10,000 years to break through the solar system at a distance of 1 light year. >>>More

The real edge of the solar system should also be being explored, the human earth is too small for the universe, and in fact, the universe is always in motion.

It's a gravitational shroud made of a huge gravitational force, so it surrounds the solar system.
