I just read about new WISE mission been launched to look for objects in KP and over there, and this question came to my mind: does it exist a map of kuiper belt objects? I have not so much clear how Pluto is located up there; I always imagined it just as a planet alone in its orbit, but , as far as I can understand now, there's actually something more similar to the asteroid belt among mars and jupiter; is this correct? Any picture of it?
