科学家估计柯伊伯带很有可能存在有几万个大小超过60英里(100公里)的冰矮天体，还有数量在万亿以上的彗星。

Scientists estimate the Kuiper belt is likely home to hundreds of thousands of icy bodies larger than 60 miles (100 km) wide, as well as an estimated trillion or more comets.

"I group Pluto with the other icy bodies in the Kuiper Belt," said Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of New York City's Hayden Planetarium. "I think it's happier there, actually.
