We now know of more than a thousand Kuiper Belt Objects.

我们现在知道了一千多个存在于柯伊伯带的物体。

There are a handful of Kuiper Belt Objects aligned in a similar way.

有少数柯伊伯带物体是以类似的方式排列的。

While we know of lots of Kuiper Belt Objects, we don't know of any Oort Cloud objects for sure.

虽然我们知道很多柯伊伯带的物体，但我们还不知道任何奥尔特云中确定的物体。

Then, out beyond the orbit of Neptune is a collection of rocky ice balls, called Kuiper Belt Objects.

还有，在海王星的轨道之外有一系列冰块岩石组成的球状物，叫做柯伊伯带。

They're not really a separate class of object — they're still Kuiper Belt objects, but a fun and interesting subset of them.

它们并不是一个独立的物类——它们仍然是柯伊伯带的物体，但它们是一个有趣的子集。

These may be captured asteroids, or even Kuiper Belt Objects, giant chunks of ice that we'll learn about very soon in a future episode.

它们可能是被捕获的小行星，甚至是柯伊伯带的巨大冰块，我们将在以后的课程中了解它们。

" They're going to detect thousands more Kuiper belt objects, " says Lawler.

“他们将探测到数以千计的柯伊伯带天体， ” 劳勒说。

But if you go even farther out, starting tens of billions of kilometers from the Sun, that disk of Kuiper Belt Objects merges into a vast spherical cloud of these ice balls called the Oort Cloud.

但如果你走得更远，从距离太阳几百亿公里外的地方观察，这片柯伊伯带就汇成了一个由冰球组成的巨大的球状云团，这被称为奥尔特云。

Unlike the orbits of the planets and the Kuiper belt, which are pretty flat like a disk, it's a giant spherical shell surrounding the Sun, planets and Kuiper belt objects like a big bubble with thick walls around our solar system.

与行星和柯伊伯带的轨道像圆盘一样平坦不同，它是一个巨大的球壳，围绕着太阳，行星和柯伊伯带的物体就像一个巨大的气泡，围绕着我们的太阳系。
