The ecliptic plane then contains most of the objects which are orbiting the sun. This suggests that the formation process of the solar system resulted in a disk of material out of which formed the sun and the planets.

Started in 2003, the CFEPS project has surveyed approximately 400 square degrees of sky lying within a few degrees of the ecliptic. This survey resulted in approximately 200 KBOs being discovered. More significantly, through the investment of hundreds of hours of follow-up resources (approximately 5-times those...
