New Horizons missionSpace

A new group of frozen objects orbiting the sun beyond the Kuiper Belt has been spotted by the Subaru telescope in Hawaii .
The telescope has been working with NASA 's New Horizons mission to find new targets for the spacecraft to investigate.
The new group isn't a mere extension of the asteroid belt, but a second belt may be called " Kuiper belt 2 ".
Astronomers will continue to use Subaru to track the 11 objects in this new belt to better define their orbits.
Given they were found in a small region of space, they probably are only the tip of the iceberg.
Their discovery is further evidence that there is still much to be discovered in the extreme depths of the outer solar system.
