Gerard Kuiper, often referred to as the "father of modern planetary science," was a Dutch-American astronomer who made significant contributions to the study of the solar system, particularly in relation to planetary atmospheres and the icy bodies in the outer solar system. He is best known for his work on the Kuiper Belt, a region of the solar system beyond Neptune that contains many small icy bodies, including dwarf planets like Pluto.
