Preamble:
As an open planet, there are many mysteries in the universe waiting to be discovered and answered. For human beings, there is nothing more attractive than the solar system, the cosmic home in which they live. With the continuous development of science and technology, human exploration of the solar system has become more and more in-depth, many mysterious places have been gradually revealed, and some never-before-seen scenes have also been carefully included. Some new things about the edge of the solar system have attracted widespread attention, so you might as well follow in the footsteps of the editor to uncover these mysteries and explore the infinite mysteries of the universe.
1. Astronomical telescopes looking at celestial objects do not reveal more details
For a long time in the past, human understanding of the universe mainly came from the observation of astronomical telescopes, after all, for the earth, without this astronomical observation platform, other observation methods are somewhat difficult. Although astronomical telescopes can visualize the celestial objects in front of people's eyes, they cannot bring more details to human beings.
Second, the Voyager 1 probe has turned off most of its functions and is unable to observe the edge of the solar system
In order to gain a deeper understanding of the composition of the solar system and the view at its edge, humans have also sent probes to conduct close-up exploration. With the help of the Voyager 1 probe, we have a preliminary understanding of the edge of the solar system, which has gradually approached its limits over time, and has now shut down most of its functions, and can no longer provide humans with a view of the edge of the solar system.
3. The New Horizons probe arrived at the Kuiper Belt at the edge of the solar system and photographed the magical asteroid
Just when people were a little frustrated about the exploration of the edge of the solar system, a new probe was born: the much-anticipated New Horizons probe. Unlike previous probes, New Horizons did not selectively turn off some functions because of the long travel time, but kept itself in good condition, which also laid a solid foundation for its exploration work.
Not long ago, the New Horizons probe successfully arrived in the Kuiper Belt at the edge of the solar system, and photographed a miraculous asteroid here, bringing a new hope to people's exploration work.
4. The Kuiper Belt is a disk-like region at the edge of the solar system that contains a variety of small celestial bodies
In fact, the Kuiper Belt is a disk-like area at the edge of the solar system, which contains a variety of small celestial bodies, most of the asteroids and dwarf planets live here, which can be said to be the "gathering place" of extraterrestrial bodies.
5. The asteroids in the Kuiper Belt are remnants of the formation of the solar system, but there are still giant gas planets in its periphery, which raises questions about whether the edge of the Kuiper Belt is empty
According to scientists' research, the asteroids living in the Kuiper Belt are actually remnants of the formation of the solar system, and they have been living here quietly and without much disturbance. Still, scientists have discovered an interesting phenomenon in the Kuiper Belt, which is that although the asteroids in the Kuiper Belt are remnants of the formation of the solar system, there are still giant gas planets in their periphery, which raises questions about whether the edge of the Kuiper Belt is really empty.
6. Gerard Kuiper proposed the existence of another group of celestial bodies outside Neptune
To understand the Kuiper Belt in depth, it is necessary to mention Gerard Kuiper, the first scientist to propose the Kuiper Belt. A long time ago, people's understanding of the solar system was still at a relatively low level, and it was not until Gerard Kuiper proposed that there was a group of celestial bodies outside the orbit of Neptune, that people gradually discovered this mysterious realm, that is, the Kuiper belt.
7. The celestial bodies in the Kuiper Belt are mainly composed of ice, which are large and small
For the Kuiper Belt objects, scientists have carried out detailed understanding and exploration, and finally found that the objects here are mainly composed of ice, and most of the objects are relatively small, and when other probes have not had time to bring more information about the Kuiper Belt to mankind, many people's impression of this place is still stuck on Pluto and other dwarf planets.
8. Dwarf planets such as Pluto are also present in the Kuiper Belt
Pluto, which is no stranger to you, is the most famous dwarf planet in the solar system and a member of the Kuiper Belt. In fact, not only Pluto, but many other dwarf planets also live in the Kuiper Belt, but they are not as famous as Pluto, but they are also worthy of our attention and study.
9. The end of the world is a strange asteroid discovered by the Chinese
Speaking of asteroids in the Kuiper Belt, we have to mention the ends of the earth that have recently attracted much attention. In fact, the end of the earth is a strange asteroid discovered by Chinese scientists, which can be said to be an important symbol of China's scientific and technological strength to the international community.
10. The New Horizons probe successfully flew by Pluto and took pictures of it
The end of the earth has become a topic that more and more people talk about, because it contains so many mysteries and wonders, all thanks to the New Horizons probe. In the past period, New Horizons has successfully flown Pluto with its unremitting efforts and brought real photos of Pluto to mankind, which also gives more friends the opportunity to learn about this dwarf planet up close.
11. The ends of the earth are made up of two colliding asteroids of Pluto
Through careful observation and study of Pluto, scientists have discovered an amazing secret, it turns out that the end of the earth is not a complete asteroid, but composed of two collision asteroids of Pluto, which also brings us a unique opportunity to observe the formation of the asteroid and the figure of Pluto.
12. The possible presence of organic matter at the ends of the earth further confirms the theory of the origin of extraterrestrial life
The figure at the ends of the earth has also opened the eyes of scientists, because there may be some organic matter in its body. These organic matter are not products of the earth, but come from extraterrestrials, and they may be part of the origin of organic matter in the universe, which also provides some confirmation for the origin of extraterrestrial life.
Epilogue:
It can be said that New Horizons' close-up observation has brought us infinite surprises, and also allowed us to have a deeper understanding of the Kuiper Belt and the ends of the earth, and these discoveries have also added a new touch to the mysteries of the universe. I believe that in the near future, mankind's exploration of the universe will become more and more exciting, and we look forward to more detectors to bring us more surprises.
