This is an orbit diagram for the outer solar system. The
Sun and Terrestrial planets are at the center. The orbits
of the four giant planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and
Neptune, are shown by purple solid circles. The Kuiper
Belt, including Pluto, is shown by the dotted light blue
region just beyond the giant planets. Sedna's orbit is
shown in orange while 2012 VP113's orbit is shown in
red. Both objects are currently near their closest
approach to the Sun (perihelion). They would be too faint
to detect when in the outer parts of their orbits. Notice
that both orbits have similar perihelion locations on the
sky and both are far away from the giant planet and
Kuiper Belt regions. Credit: Scott Sheppard and Chad
