Scientific paper
The discovery of two objects beyond the orbit of Pluto has extended the heliocentric range of the planetary system and provided tantalizing hints that a large swarm of comets may exist in similarly distant orbits. This discovery has important implications for understanding both the origin of the solar system and the origin of the short-period comets. Subjects covered include the following: the big break -- finding 1992 QB; Kuiper's hypothesis -- an idea takes hold; the dynamicists debate; clues in a disk; Neptune the perturber; discovery of 1993 FW; and unlocking the secrets in primordial ice and dust.
