Over 450 Previously Unknown Objects Have Been Discovered in Our Solar System
The outer reaches of the Solar System constitute a strange and mysterious place. Out past the orbit of Neptune, where it's cold and dark, a swarm of icy objects called the Kuiper Belt orbits the Sun, thought to be more or less unchanged since the Solar System was born.
Because it's so dark and far away, and the objects so small, it's hard for astronomers to discern what exactly is out there. This makes the results of a recent search quite marvelous. Using data from the Dark Energy Survey, astronomers identified 815 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), of which 461 are newly discovered.

the universe as well as the subsoil and the depths of the sea hide many secrets that scientists have to discover, I think there is much more than what we see and we have every time they discover something something else appears, it is a very interesting topic.
I wish you a happy wednesday
The universe is far more mysterious than most people, including scientists, want to admit.
I think I have received more education on astronomy from Steemit than in class. This is the kind of content my steemit friend @mauromar shares. The enlightenment is appreciated.
Thank you! I'm always very curious to know what's really out there!
Is it giving us information about any change in our solar system?
I have heard that there are many changes taking place in our solar system, but I don't know if what is being discovered in the Kuiper Belt has anything to do with it.
