Pluto is no longer considered a true planet by astronomers, but has been demoted to the status of a dwarf planet; one of 44 similar objects discovered to date in our Solar System. Call me sentimental, but I have kept it in our model for old times sake. For more on why Pluto is no longer a planet, Read this article.
The solar system does not end with Pluto but, in our model, continues for over 1,000 miles. The Kuiper Belt, and beyond that the Oort Cloud (containing dust, and many small icy bodies) are vast, extremely distant regions that extend past the orbit of Neptune to the outer edges of our Sun's gravitational influence.
The nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is 4,000 miles away (Bedford, NH to Rome, Italy in our model).
