Apparently jupiter has cooties

You see it right? Illuminati

Wankel rotary

Why it do?

Look At Mercury Go!

Fun fact, those green guys out at L4 and L5 are classified as Trojan Asteroids (no relation to the condom brand or horse).

How fucked we would be without Jupe...

Sweet rotary engine animation, +1

Illuminati confirmed.

Our solar system is a rotary. A Wankel.

The solar system is a rotary engine?!

Reminds me of a rotary engine.

Reminds me of the soap suds going down the sink.

Tl;dw Jupiter's gravitational force is what moves the asteroids.
ffilm
If Jupiter was a bit larger, it might have become a star. As it is, it gives off more energy than it absorbs.
mpdavis73
Lagrange points... :D
YatekMorah
All 5, if I am not mistaken. You can even see why l4 and l5 are "stable" :)
Bibulus
Just 4 and 5, called the Greeks and the Trojans. L1 is closer than the Hildas (red) get, L3 is farther, and there isn't anything shown at L2
Bibulus
Though the Hildas do get close to L3
YatekMorah
Well, my practical knowledge of those comes from KSP and Children of the Dead Earth. Orbiting L4/5 is pain in the ass

I don't know much about astrophysics, but that gravity math just looks wrong.
GeekusPrimus
Behold the magic of highly coupled differential equations: intuition goes out the window.
Rednelo03
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilda_group This clears it up a bit... the group looks like a triangle, but made of individual circles.

Then you should get a massive boner from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKKg4lZ_o-Y
toropazzoide
When I saw this gif for the first time, my inner world was crushed by discovering that the asteroid belt isn't a circle ring but a triangle.
JustADumbRename
Also remember, they are very far away from eachother and if you sat on one you'd likely not see any other ones as more than a dot.
JustADumbRename
No Star Wars dodging involved
AchilleonV
The orbits are not perfect circles so... it's just a representation of Jupiter's affect on the asteroids.
cpizza12
effect
AchilleonV
Affect means to have an influence on.
cpizza12
So the correct word here is effect
toropazzoide
Yeah, but circle is shorter than elliptical and I ran out of characters :(
nerdbroz
It’s really a lot of overlaid elliptical orbits that are arranged by the position of Jupiter making it look triangular.
Poisonspit
Obligatory joke about Uranus.
ffilm
Studies indicate that there’s a large black hole at the very center of Uranus.
ffilm
NASA refuses to send a manned mission to Uranus because of the deadly noxious gasses and crappy surface.
ffilm
Does Uranus have any scars from unexpected impacts?
ffilm
Could a single-cell organism survive the pressures of Uranus?
ffilm
In addition to the two large moons on either side of Uranus, there’s a ring of debris that can never be wiped away.
ffilm
Cold nights, there’s nothing like a couple hot toddies, turning off the lights, breaking out the BIG 'scope & having a quick peek at Uranus.
ffilm
Who was the first person to observe Uranus?
ffilm
What is the escape velocity of Uranus?
ffilm
They say just one breath of the gasses from Uranus could kill a man.

Pink dots are Hilda asteroids in 3:2 resonance with Jupiter. Green dots are Trojan asteroids at the Jupiter-Sun L4 and L5 lagrange points.

Is the asteroid field flat to a degree, or spherical ?
jolem53
Jupiter has saved our butts so many times. Thanks, Jupiter.
Munchman347
That's because Jupiter always has a lot of Trojans...

Fun fact: if you slow that scene down you can see that one of the asteroids is someone's dirty shoe
danthorg
A myth from the early 90s. Dare u to try to find a closeup
Skippy76
or to put it another way Jupiter has saved Uranus
logjamin
How?
Jaketh
It's has an immense gravitational pull that captures many objects what would otherwise enter the inner solar system.
vindik8or
This is a myth. It diverts towards us as much as, if not more, than it saves us from.
jolem53
Gravitational force pulls in stuff that would otherwise slam into Earth.
vindik8or
This is a myth. It diverts towards us as much as, if not more, than it saves us from.
derrymerbles
It’s also the reason we don’t have another planet or two in our solar system. It prevents massive collisions between asteroids
bluemofia
Astrophysicist here: That's incorrect. Jupiter causes asteroids, as it's gravity disrupts what normally would be circular orbits. Yes, it1/?
bluemofia
"absorbs" some asteroids, but for every 1 it absorbs, it throws hundreds in all directions, including at Earth. The math works out that 2/?
bluemofia
most objects will approach Jupiter as hyperbolic orbits, which means they won't be captured because they are traveling faster than 3/?
bluemofia
escape velocity. Furthermore, the asteroid belt has resonance zones (zones of unstable orbits) where anything that goes in there, is 4/6
kurzonmorris
lol i read that as "goes in there, is 4/6" and i was confused cause thats bad maths lol great comments btw
bluemofia
thrown either into or out of the solar system by Jupiter's gravity. If Jupiter wasn't there, it would continue in circular orbits, and 5/6
vindik8or
This is a myth. It diverts towards us as much as, if not more, than it saves us from.
jolem53
Don’t disrespect Jupiter.
vindik8or
Respecting Jupiter involves accepting that it could destroy us on an astrophysical whim.

When I look away, Mercury and the rest seem to slow down compared to when I look at them.
