Thank you so much for this interesting and informative article. I really appreciate the overview of the different hypotheses as they were clearly laid out for the lay person, of which I am one.

The Kuiper Belt goes out to about 50 AU from the sun. But the Oort Cloud goes to maybe 200,000 AU. That's getting pretty close to another star, so if that star has an Oort Cloud ... Of course, the Oort Cloud may not, you know, actually exist ...

My very deep appreciation for these women and men scientists that have dedicated there lives to investigating and discovering the "great unknown."
Congratulations on your current and future successes.

This is an extremely well-written scientific article that is able to capture the nuance of different researchers’ hypotheses.

Really informative article. I really hope the flyby will be a success, and every new bit of information we get about Ultima Thule over the next couple years will continue to amaze us, just like last time with Pluto and its moons. Nearly two years seems like a long time, but I'm sure it will be worthwhile. This is a really good opportunity to learn about these far out objects. I hope the mission scientists may choose another Kuiper Belt Object in the future before New Horizons runs out of power. Kudos to the scientists, engineers and all those involved. And many thanks to Science Times for the detailed coverage.

Thank you Mr. Chang; enjoyed your explanations of the various theories and predictions of this "fantastic voyage". What a breath of fresh air (ice?) from earth-bound topics. And look forward to seeing the exciting NASA coverage, as well as reading more of your articles and analyses.
