Kuiper Belt Object geysers, artwork
Kuiper Belt Object geysers. Artwork of erupting geysers on the surface of a Kuiper Belt Object. Overhead is a moon, with the Sun (yellow dot) in the far distance. The Kuiper Belt consists of a collection of small icy bodies that mostly orbit beyond the planets, but in the same plane as them. The Kuiper Belt extends outwards from the orbit of Neptune, past the orbit of Pluto to about two times the Sun-Pluto distance. The Kuiper Belt is believed to be the source of short-period comets. The ices include frozen gases that can erupt in geysers if warmed sufficiently by the distant Sun

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Lynette Cook showcases the mesmerizing geysers erupting on the surface of a Kuiper Belt Object. Set against the backdrop of a moon and the distant Sun, this illustration transports us to the outer reaches of our solar system. The Kuiper Belt, an expanse consisting of small icy bodies orbiting beyond Neptune, is beautifully depicted here. Stretching from just beyond Pluto's orbit to about two times the distance between Pluto and the Sun, this region is believed to be responsible for short-period comets that grace our skies. The frozen gases present in these objects can turn into vaporous geysers when warmed by the distant Sun. The artist expertly captures both the cold and ethereal nature of this landscape. With low temperatures prevailing in this part of space, it is truly remarkable to witness such dynamic eruptions occurring amidst its serene surroundings. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of how vast and mysterious our universe truly is. It serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about what lies beyond our own planet. This piece not only celebrates astrophysics and planetary science but also invites us to ponder on our place within this grand cosmic tapestry.
