Amazing picture thread

[dirk diggler]

The graph is really about those tiny red and green spots. Most interesting and I must say surprising to me.

If the center dot is the Sun then it's basically saying Earth orbits the Sun once per year.

Spot on.

Or am I being a spastic?

No comment.

Yep, being an utter spastic. Night shift. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Asteroids That Orbit The Earth...



One of the reasons we prepare - hopefully...

Could you tell me, how you found this? I would like to know more about the source. I cannot get to any other content of that blog using the URL.

I never expected the asteroids to follow that kind of trajectory fixed to the Trojan/L-points of Jupiter.

Go to images.google.com and paste the URL - quite a few hits like this one:

Thanks, very useful. So the green ones are the Trojan asteroids which I knew. The red ones are the Hilda group, which I had never heard of. But they are not the whole asteroid belt, only a small subset of it linked to the Jupiter gravity by a resonance.

The main body of the asteroid belt is much larger and looks the way I expected it to look and it is also a number of separate groups as shown in this gif:

On the top left is the name of each group displayed when it shows.



Some of these groups do cross the earth orbit. They are the ones that can be dangerous.

A Single Thread Wrapped Around Thousands of Nails

I was thinking about posting this one this morning, but then I got caught up in something that I had to get done. It's pretty amazing how someone can think of that and then create it to look so real.

A green for the thread and for the one who started it.

In this lovely portrait/landscape photo by Adam Stevens, we see what I believe is a Highland Cow with its rocking horns and unruly hair. The beautiful surrounding landscape is somewhere near Cornwall, UK.
Highland cattle are a Scottish breed of cattle with long horns and long wavy coats which are coloured black, brindled, red, yellow or dun. The breed was developed in the Scottish Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland and have since been exported to the rest of the world since the early 20th Century.
