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?

cassioli, did you read Brown's whole article around that? He makes some great points about how that style depiction of the solar system isn't helpful.
And he provides his own depiction, to boot. |

yes, indeed I was asking for a solar system poster based on his layout. But being not able to find it, I'm going to create it by myself. |
