---------------------- 2410 - PLANETS - a new look at our solar System
-
- Most of us picture our Solar System as we learned it in grade school science class. Nine planets in organized circles neatly stretching in radii from Mercury to Pluto.
-
-
- Here is a new map of the solar system showing the precise orbital paths of more than 18,000 near celestial objects. Can you even find Mars on this map?

-
This map shows the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune in chaotic detail.
-
- It shows each asteroid at its exact position on New Years' Eve 1999. It includes everything we know of that's over 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) in diameter totaling about 10,000 asteroids. It also includes some 8,000 randomized objects of unknown size.
-
- This is our solar system in macro with as accurate data as we have to date.
-
- Note the Kuiper Belt (the outermost ring of green asteroids) on the bottom of the map.
-
- Also notice that Pluto is shown inside Neptune's orbit. It turns out that about 10% of the time, Pluto is actually closer to the Sun than Neptune.
