USS J.F.K. Docking in Malta

This shot gives a good relationship of its size to something else like buildings, cars, etc...

Have you ever considered how big a U.S. carrier really is?

Astonishing!

Asteroids

Thanks to Kara

This video from NASA represents the changing state of the asteroid belt, since 1980.

I found it fascinating, particularly the formation of the complete green circle around the sun.

For those who understand chakras, then green is the colour of the heart chakra, the chakra of love.

There are many optimistic people saying that we are about to increase our levels of vibration to the extent that most people achieve the green level of conciousness, the level of love.

For me, this is just further confirmation of what is in store for us, if only we will get out of he way and let it happen.

It's last on the page because it takes a while to load, so I suggest going to page 2, and then coming back

View of the solar system showing the locations of all the asteroids starting in 1980, as asteroids are discovered they are added to the map and highlighted white so you can pick out the new ones.

The final colour of an asteroids indicates how closely it comes to the inner solar system.

Earth Crossers are Red

Earth Approachers (Perihelion less than 1.3AU) are Yellow

All Others are Green

Notice now the pattern of discovery follows the Earth around its orbit, most discoveries are made in the region directly opposite the Sun. You'll also notice some clusters of discoveries on the line between Earth and Jupiter, these are the result of surveys looking for Jovian moons. Similar clusters of discoveries can be tied to the other outer planets, but those are not visible in this video.

As the video moves into the mid 1990's we see much higher discovery rates as automated sky scanning systems come online. Most of the surveys are imaging the sky directly opposite the sun and you'll see a region of high discovery rates aligned in this manner.

At the beginning of 2010 a new discovery pattern becomes evident, with discovery zones in a line perpendicular to the Sun-Earth vector. These new observations are the result of the WISE (Widefield Infrared Survey Explorer) which is a space mission that's tasked with imaging the entire sky in infrared wavelengths.

Currently we have observed over half a million minor planets, and the discovery rates snow no sign that we're running out of undiscovered objects.

Orbital elements were taken from the 'astorb.dat' data created by Ted Bowell and associates at http://www.naic.edu/~nolan/astorb.html

Quite a few journalists, bloggers and tweeters are attributing this to NASA or Arecibo Observatory - while they do fine work they had nothing to do with this. If you write a story you can credit it to Scott Manley.

Thanks for the Interest!
