astronomers
An astronomer studies outer space, including galaxies, stars, planets, and other celestial objects. They use telescopes and other tools to observe and analyze the universe, including the solar system. Their research helps us understand the origins and makeup of various celestial bodies.

No. The Kupier belt is a collection of icy objects in the outer solar system.
It's an object in outer space; that's basically what astronomy is about - studying objects in outer space.
Its gravity keeps them in their orbits, just like all the objects in the solar system.
It doesn't have one. The NGC numbers are used to describe objects in outer space - as seen from Earth. Nor are individual objects in our Solar System included, as far as I know.
An astronomer is a person who studies outer space, including the stars, planets, galaxies, and other celestial bodies. They use observatories, telescopes, and other technologies to conduct their research and study the universe.
Pluto and most objects in the outer solar system (ex. asteroids, comets, meteors, etc.)
A spinning cloud of dust began to compress to form the sun; small planetary objects formed; hydrogen and helium became concentrated in the outer solar system to form the outer planets.
Objects in the Kuiper Belt, including dwarf planets like Pluto, are thought to have formed farthest from the Sun. These icy bodies are located beyond Neptune in the outer regions of the solar system.
When observers see objects beyond the outer reaches of our solar system, they may have spotted a new dwarf planet, a trans-Neptunian object, or a distant Kuiper Belt object. These observations could help expand our understanding of the outer regions of our solar system and the diversity of objects that exist there.
