We now like to think of the reconnaissance of Pluto as just the start of something, as the beginning of the exploration of the “third zone”.
If the first and second zones encompass the rocky inner planets like Earth and the outer gas giants like Saturn, then this third sector covers all the smaller bodies like Pluto that orbit billions of km from the Sun. And they are legion.
This third zone, known as the Kuiper Belt, probably contains hundreds of thousands of objects 100km and more across. Pluto, at about 2,300km wide, just happens to be the current “King of Kuiper Belt”.

NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft is about to show us an alien world for the first time. At precisely 7:49 am ET on Tuesday, the probe will become the first spacecraft to fly by Pluto. All this data will be enormously valuable to scientists as they seek to understand our solar system and how it formed billions of years ago. More than anything, this mission is about broadening our horizons — taking in just a little bit more of the impossibly vast universe we live in.
