Our World From The ISS Image locations (latitude and longitude) are approximate, based on (1) description in tweet text, (2) general "look" of geography, and (3) "reasonable fit" in Google Earth &/or ArcMap. The routine is: (1) read tweet from @Cmdr_Hadfield, @AstroMarshburn, or related to ISS Missions 34 & 35; (2) determine lat-long; (3) fill-in a Google Drive spreadsheet with date, tweet description (& date-time Atlantic), tweet source, tweet URL (same as clicking the short URL in the tweet), photo URL (by right-clicking the photo, one can "copy image URL"), and lat-long; (4) when this map opens, it reads the spreadsheet and displays a click-able satellite icon at each lat-long.

Asteroid (and Comet) groups The main asteroid groups are distinguished by colours introduced in a legend at the top left corner of every image. Asteroids positions are computed for Apr. 7, 2004 and their orbital elements are taken from the MPCOrb database. There are three general representations of the groups below: views of the solar system with respect to an external observer, animations showing the particular groups individually, and positions of asteroids in an orbital elements space, respectively. For clarity, all pictures and animation are separated for inner and outer part of the solar system. The pictures are thumbnails only - clicking on them will open large versions. Many thanks to Gérard Faure and Bill Allen for their remarks and recommendations to this web. Inner solar system - views from outside Two groups at these views have specific distribution in space - Trojans and Hilda group.Trojan asteroids lie in regions around Jupiter-Sun Lagrangian points, 60° ahead and behind of Jupiter.
