The Kuiper Belt is a region located around the planets of our Solar System whereby icy comet-like objects and bodies are found. The largest object found in the Kuiper Belt so far is the dwarf planet Eris.
The Oort Cloud is a collection of an estimated one trillion long-period objects that surround, enter and leave our Solar System. Many of theses objects are left-over comets of Neptune and are on their way to the stars.
In 2003 when the object or planetoid Sedna was discovered, it was photographed as being the most distant object in the Solar System at 90 times further away from the sun than Earth was (90 AU’s).
