The Kuiper Belt is indeed located within the Milky Way galaxy. It is a region of space that extends beyond the orbit of Neptune, approximately 30 to 55 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun.
This area is populated with various small celestial bodies, including dwarf planets like Pluto, Haumea, and Makemake, as well as countless other icy and rocky objects. The Kuiper Belt is analogous to the asteroid belt, but it is far larger and contains many more objects.
To clarify, when we refer to the Milky Way galaxy, we are talking about the vast collection of stars, planetary systems, interstellar gas, and dust that make up our galaxy. The Kuiper Belt is just one of many regions within this galaxy that contains fascinating structures and celestial bodies.
