kuiper belt map?, does it exist? Options

[Guest_cassioli_*]

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?

This is my "work in progress" solar system:

Any suggestion?
I'd like to add some boxes with details about minor bodies. Maybe I could add major moons of each planet.

I like the approach - it is very effective at conveying a sense of the relative scale of the various important bodies in the system.

I'd make a couple of suggestions:
Use a solar image of just a fraction of the solar limb as a backdrop, but keep it to the same scale so it is almost a vertical slice to convey just how huge the sun is and keep a solar prominence in the frame, that works very nicely IMO. I'd also prefer to see a presentation that kept the body sequence intact in terms of overlay position - I think the presentation would be better with Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Eris, Haumea, Makemake clearly positioned "behind" Saturn and the order of the inner planets showing Mercury\Venus\Earth\Mars in that sequence from foreground to background.

Also I'd broaden the spatial part of the chart that shows the absolute range from Sol out to the Kuiper belt bodies so that it covers the entire width of the image - the basic idea is excellent though as it fills in the missing impression of distance that the to-scale primary images cannot convey.

They are just opinions though - I really do like this approach, excellent work.

One final thing - if you can apply some anti-aliasing to the images it would make the full resolution version look _much_ better.

I cam't understand why my graphic program keep cuting circles in such an imprecise way: the size of each of those "pixels" is actually some dozens of pixels!!!
