The Kyper Belt is the region far outside the orbit of Neptune where objects, also known as transneptunian objects, orbit the sun. These objects can differ from dwarf planets, like Pluto, to asteroids or other debris. Their origin is believed to be that they are leftovers from when the solar system was very young and were thrown out there by the gravity of the current planets.

How old is Triton?
Defining the age of a moon is very difficult, especially Triton. Because Triton is more than likely, a captured KBO (Kyper belt object) it can be said to be part of the original formation of the Solar System at about 4.6 billion years old. However, it's surface is relatively young - in astronomical terms - with regions varying from 50 million years old to just 6 million years old. I think a lot depends on "what" part of Triton!
