wow, this is amazing. Learned quite a bit just by looking at the orbits of various objects. Especially pluto. Didn't realize pluto had such an odd orbit relative to the ecliptic plane of the other planets and planetoids. I'm assuming that's due to Neptune?

Not only tilted, but far less "round" than Neptune's orbit, which occasionally results in Pluto being actually closer to the Sun than Neptune (every 500 or so years). They also kinda "dance" with each other around the Sun in a 2:3 ratio (2 x Pluto's year / 3 = Neptune's year).
