| DescriptionOort cloud Sedna orbit.svg | These four panels show the location oftrans-Neptunian object90377 Sedna, which lies in the farthest reaches of theSolar System.[1] Each panel, moving clockwise from the upper left, successively zooms out to place Sedna in context. The first panel shows theorbits of the innerplanets andJupiter; and theasteroid belt. In the second panel, Sedna is shown well outside the orbits ofNeptune and theKuiper 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 theSun. The final panel zooms out much farther, showing that even this largeelliptical orbit falls inside what was previously thought to be the inner edge of the sphericalOort 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 theecliptic does exist. |
