The animation shows five planets traveling along the circles. Different sized objects scattered around the Kuiper belt are highlighted in blue and labeled Scattered disc.. Some astronomers think a huge collision in its early days might have done that. Standing next to him is Moby. It was named after the Roman god of the sea, probably because its so blue.

Check your students' knowledge and unleash their imaginations with Creative Coding projects. TIM: But scientists are pretty sure that both of the Voyager probes have passed the termination shock, and are closing in on the heliopause.
