1. Kuiper

   Kuiper is a small lunar impact crater in a relatively featureless part of the Mare Cognitum. It is a circular, cup-shaped feature with only some minor wear. This crater was previously identified as Bonpland E before being renamed by the IAU. The lava-flooded crater Bonpland lies to the east at the edge of the Mare Cognitum. To the east-southeast of Kuiper crater is the crash landing site of the Ranger 7 probe, the first American spacecraft to photograph the Moon. Gerard Kuiper was the Project Scientist for the Ranger program, and this feature was named for him after he died in 1973.

Examples of Kuiper in a Sentence

1. Kathrin Altwegg:

   This probably rules out Kuiper Belt comets from bringing water to Earth.

2. Antranik Sefilian:

   The problem is when youre observing the disc from inside the system, its almost impossible to see the whole thing at once. While we dont have direct observational evidence for the disc, neither do we have it for Planet Nine, which is why were investigating other possibilities, nevertheless, it is interesting to note that observations of Kuiper belt analogues around other stars, as well as planet formation models, reveal massive remnant populations of debris.

5. Jim Green:

   The Voyagers and Pioneers flew through the Kuiper Belt at a time when we didn't know this region existed, new Horizons is on the hunt to understand these objects, and we invite everyone to ring in the next year with the excitement of exploring the unknown.
