Detailed explanation-1: -Pluto was the first Kuiper Belt object to be discovered, in 1930, at a time before astronomers had reason to expect a large population of icy worlds beyond Neptune. At the time, scientists had not yet developed ideas about the outer solar system that suggested Pluto might have a lot of company.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sedna (provisionally designated 2003 VB12) was discovered by Michael Brown (Caltech), Chad Trujillo (Gemini Observatory), and David Rabinowitz (Yale University) on 14 November 2003.
Detailed explanation-3: -Is Sedna a Kuiper belt object? NO. Sedna never enters the region of the Kuiper belt. The Kuiper belt is an icy asteroid belt just beyond Neptune.
Detailed explanation-4: -Both the Oort Cloud and the Kuiper Belt are thought to be sources of comets.
