The artist's rendition shows the newly discovered planet-like object,
dubbed "Sedna," in relation to other bodies in the solar system,
including Earth and its Moon; Pluto; and Quaoar, a planetoid beyond
Pluto that was until now the largest known object beyond Pluto. The
diameter of Sedna is slightly smaller than Pluto's but likely somewhat
larger than Quaoar.
