	Dave Jewitt: 1992 QB1 - First Object Discovered in Kuiper Belt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Jewitt, University of Hawaii; and J. Luu, University of California at Berkeley, report the discovery of a very faint object with very slow (3"/hour) retrograde near- opposition motion, detected in CCD images obtained with the University of Hawaii's 2.2-m telescope at Mauna Kea.
		Computations by the undersigned indicate that 1992 QB1 is currently between 37 and 59 AU from the earth but that the orbit (except for the nodal longitude) is completely indeterminate.
		Some solutions are compatible with membership in the supposed "Kuiper Belt", but the object could also be a comet in a near-parabolic orbit.

		Despite its unusual characteristics, Pluto's status as a planet was solid until 1992, when David Jewitt and J. Luu of the University of Hawaii discovered a strange object called 1992 QB1.
		QB1 is a small icy body, similar in size to an asteroid, orbiting one and a half times further from the sun than Neptune.
		QB1 was the first clue that more objects than Pluto might populate the distant reaches of the solar system.

	Kuiper belt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The belt and the objects in it were named after Kuiper after the discovery of (15760) 1992 QB No known object in the Kuiper belt is a remotely possible candidate to become a comet.
		The term trans-Neptunian object (TNO) is recommended for objects in the belt by several scientific groups because the term is less controversial than all others — it is not a synonym though, as TNOs include all objects orbiting the Sun at the outer edge of the solar system, not just those in the Kuiper belt.
		Among the largest are Pluto and Charon, but since the year 2000 other large objects that approached and even exceeded their size were identified.

		Reported on Sept. 14, 1992 by David Jewitt (Hawaii) and Jane Luu (UC Berkeley), 1992 QB1 is estimated to be about 20 times larger than Comet Halley.
		If, however, the trajectory proves to be parabolic, then 1992 QB1 may well have originated in the so called Oort cloud, an even more distant hypothetical staging area for long-period comets.
		If so, 1992 QB1 would present quite a spectacle for earthly observers by the middle of the next century, according to Brian Marsden of the Harvard/Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

	Is Pluto a Planet?
		In 1992, after some years of searching, Hawaii based astronomer Dave Jewitt and his collaborator Jane Luu discovered what would turn out to the first of many small, icy bodies in the outer solar system.
		Known initially by the temporary designation 1992 QB1, the new object was the first member of what has become known as the Kuiper Belt, a disk of icy planetessimals left over from when the outer planets formed 4.5 billion years ago.
		Brian Marsden, who was at the time head of the Minor Planet Center, remarked on this as early as 1992 when discussing the description of 1992 QB1 as the first Kuiper belt object.

		The first planet ever discovered beyond Pluto, 1992 QB1, is still an anonymous bit of organic material floating namelessly in the silent void of space.

	Kuiper Belt Observations, 15-9461
		The existence of the Kuiper belt - a reservoir of icy asteroid-like bodies left over from the formation of the outer solar system in the region beyond Neptune - was predicted throughout the 20th century.
		The discovery of 1992 QB1 and subsequent objects brought new excitement and funding into this field of research, generating widespread support from ground-and space-based observatories as well as NASA missions.
		The study of the Kuiper belt has ramifications well beyond simply exploring a newly discovered and mostly unknown population of the solar system; the Kuiper belt houses a vast reservoir of these interesting small bodies and is supplying important new clues to the formation of the outer solar system.

		It was only with the discovery of object 1992 QB1 that astronomers began to notice a new category where Pluto would be a natural fit.
		1992 QB1, the first of the previously-hypothetical "Kuiper Belt" objects, was in an orbit approximately 1.5 times further out than the orbit of Neptune, and began the category known as Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNO).

	Chiron and Friends - What Are The Centaurs
		So when Damocles was found Feb 18, 1991, and Pholus the next year (Jan 9, 1992), once again we had to rethink our conception of the solar system.
		And when 1992 QB1 (now designated 15760) was discovered (Aug. 30, 1992), out past Neptune --- the first of over 80 Transneptunians now known, the question arose: Could Chiron be an escapee from the Kuiper Belt?
		So the genuine transneptunians include what some call the "classical" members (though I prefer to call them "cubewanos", after their prototype 1992 QB1) and Pluto and the other "plutinos" in 2:3 resonance with Neptune, as well as the smaller number of other resonators.
