'''Gerard Kuiper''' was an American [[astronomer]] who lived from 1905 to 1973.
He is known for finding moons of [[Neptune]] and [[Uranus]], Neried and Miranda respectivly.
He hypothesised the existance of a cometary debris outside the known solar-system. This was confirmed in 1993.
The existance of the [[Kuiper belt]] and the [[Oort Cloud]] is still an item of debate among astronomers.
