Orbits of the large cubewanos compared with Pluto. Originally plotted by a program written by Eurocommuter.

Redrawn using real arcs (instead of lines 1px long) by Ysangkok.

  • Orbits
    • 2005 FY9 in blue
    • 2003 EL61 in green
    • Pluto in red
    • Neptune in grey (shown as a circle to represent the ecliptic)
  • Orbits plotted in brighter colours above the ecliptic and darker below.
  • Major axis drawn showing perihelia (q) and aphelia (Q) and the dates of the passage.
  • Bodies
    • Relative Sizes (not to scale with the orbits), colours and albedos illustrated
    • The bodies' positions as of April 2006 (move less than 1 pixel in a year).
  • Orientation
    • The Sun in the centre.
    • Yellow segment points toward the vernal point.
    • View from ~5° degrees above the ecliptic, longitude ~60°.
