Summary

Legend

Red = The Sun
Aquamarine = Giant Planet
Green = Kuiper belt object
Orange = Scattered disc object or Centaur
Pink = Trojan of Jupiter
Yellow = Trojan of Neptune

Axes list distances in AU, projected onto the ecliptic, with ecliptic longitude zero being to the right, along the "x" axis).

Positions are accurate for January 1st, 2000 ( J2000 epoch) with some caveats: For planets, positions should be exact. For minor bodies, positions are extrapolated from other epochs assuming purely Keplerian motion. As all data is from an epoch between 1993 and 2007, this should be a reasonable approximation.

Data from the Minor Planet Centre or Murray and Dermott as needed.

In the Kuiper Belt, radial "Spokes" of higher density, or gaps in particular directions are due to observational bias (i.e. where objects were searched for), rather than any real physical structure.
