 Xena's highly elliptical orbit takes it to the far edges of the Kuiper Belt. It will take approximately 250 years for Xena to reach its closest approach to the Sun, and 560 years for it to complete an orbit. (NOTE: Inner solar system orbits are not visible at this scale. There are so few objects at the far edges of the Kuiper Belt that its boundaries are not visible here.)  Space Telescope Science Institute, Graphics Dept. |
