Summary

Description
English: Orbits of 96 of 109 known distant minor planets and extreme trans-Neptunian objects (eTNOs) with aphelion distances Q > 200 AU as of January 2021 (JD 2459215.5). Orbits are from JPL's Small Body Database based on the epoch 31 May 2020 (JD 2459000.5). The remaining 13 minor planets are excluded from this diagram as their orbits are too uncertain, having uncertainty parameters U > 7. Orbits colored red are eTNOs with longitudes of pericenter aligned with the hypothetical Planet Nine while those colored blue are eTNOs anti-aligned with Planet Nine. Orbits colored pink are the three known sednoids (Sedna, 2012 VP113, Leleakuhonua) and orbits colored brown are scattered centaurs and damocloids with perihelion distances within Neptune's orbit (q < 29.9). For comparison, the predicted orbit of Planet Nine (a~500, e~0.25, i~20) is shown and labeled.
