Cubewano
|
|
A cubewano is any substantial Kuiper belt object, orbiting beyond about 41 AU and not controlled by resonances with the outer planets.
The odd name is derived from the first trans-Neptunian object found, (15760) 1992 QB1. Later objects were called "QB1-os", or cubewanos.
Objects identified as cubewanos include:
| Our Solar System |
| Sun | Mercury | Venus | Earth (Moon) | Mars | Asteroid belts |
| Jupiter | Saturn | Uranus | Neptune | Pluto | Kuiper belt | Oort cloud |
