Text:

These four panels show the location of [[trans-Neptunian object]] [[90377 Sedna]], which lies in the farthest reaches of the [[Solar system]]. Each panel, moving clockwise from the upper left, successively zooms out to place Sedna in context. The first panel shows the [[orbit]]s of the inner [[planet]]s and [[Jupiter (planet)|Jupiter]]; and the [[asteroid belt]]. In the second panel, Sedna is shown well outside the orbits of [[Neptune (planet)|Neptune]] and the [[Kuiper belt]] objects. Sedna's full orbit is illustrated in the third panel along with the object's location in 2004, nearing its closest approach to the [[Sun]]. The final panel zooms out much farther, showing that even this large [[ellipse|elliptical orbit]] falls inside what was previously thought to be the inner edge of the spherical [[Oort cloud]]: a distribution of cold, icy bodies lying at the limits of the Sun's gravitational pull. Sedna's presence suggests that the previously speculated inner disk on the [[ecliptic]] does exist. Image courtesy of [[NASA]] / [[Jet Propulsion Laboratory|JPL-Caltech]] / [[Robert L. Hurt|R.
