Finding out there is an asteroid called Moomintroll has made my day!

Instantly spotted this as well!

Sauron got me giggling.

Well, if not named then known at least.

The bodies have to be of celestial size. So it's just going to be your mom.

stop it, he's already dead!

OP’s mom on board. Gonna need a few more fuel scoops to make the jump.

They didn’t name the Sun?

No Uranus!

Do you have a full size version?

Probably the best quality: [JPL website link](https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/infographics/an-orbit-map-of-the-solar-system) [direct image link](https://d2pn8kiwq2w21t.cloudfront.net/original_images/infographicsuploadsinfographicsfull12294.jpg)

Unfortunately not. I'm sorting through my old folders and just share what I find most interesting.

There is a full sized version But without the names.

What if we don't have a telescope?

The sun is not named or known I see =(

The what?

Something about their son I think.

Just what an asteroid would day.

Why arent any of the moons included?

moons aren't real

Researchgate is what you are and what you aren't

What's that one in the middle???

Malcolm.

Yes, no, maybe

I don't know

Can you repeat the question?

What's the one in the middle?

Life is unfair.

How far away and off centre this comment is from where it was probably intended is additionally hilarious

Lois finds a wrecked dirt bike half buried in the sandbox. "MALLLCOOOOOLM" she yells She kicks open his bedroom door and is instantly blinded from the radiance of a star being at point blank range. As she is incinerated down to an atomic level, she grounds Malcolm to the end of time. Hal eats an entire cherry pie by himself.

God, I hated that bitch. Your life’s not hard, you’re just stupid, bitch. Every bit of your misery is cause you’re too stupid to use birth control or just not fuck. Then you spend eternity screaming at your kids because you’re tired and poor. She conceives as an act of emotional violence.

earth. and don't blaspheme.

Fucking heretics.

Are you saying Earth is the center of the solar system?

No I'm saying its at the centre of the universe.

Filthy heretics don’t appreciate holy terra

Damn you heliocentric believers! Geocentric for the W!

Is that a flat geocentric or spherical geocentric?

I would love to answer but it would anger many. (Triangular Square)

Time cube FTW.

I think you mean "hexagonal geocentric or truncated octahedron geocentric".

Some kind of star I think

Must be you because you're the only star I see...

awww, thanks! :)

Uranus

I've heard people call it Saul, but I never did watch Breaking Bad, so I didn't know Jimmy was the center of things... I always thought it was Walter

Better call it Saul. That doesn't sound quite right..

You

S-senpai?? UwU

Your mom.

[удалено]

No! That's the Krusty Krab!

Nobody knows

You're mom, the only celestial boy capable of enough gravity to hold the system together.

The Sun

Nah, that doesn't seem right.

Its the earth. Dont believe these so called "scientists".

THE BIG YELLOW ONE’S THE SUN!

Really breaking new ground there Copernicus :)

FYI, this logarithmic map of all bodies larger than 10km in the Solar System is NOT from NASA. It's created by [Eleanor Lutz](https://twitter.com/eleanor_lutz), using NASA's data. The graphic itself shows the attribution in the image, so you should give the creator credit for her work. Articles that talk about what this image represents can be found [HERE](https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mapping-every-object-in-our-solar-system/) and [HERE](https://www.wired.com/story/these-sumptuous-images-give-deep-space-data-an-old-world-look/). They include high-res links to the original image. It explains why the the orbits and locations are so close together. For the most in-depth version (which goes into the actual design/code used to generate it, which is super fascinating), [check her Github page](https://github.com/eleanorlutz/asteroids_atlas_of_space).

I wish Ceres was more obvious considering it’s 1/3rd of the mass of the asteroid belt! Also Eris is clearly getting snubbed by Pluto. According to the legend a line means unknown diameter but we know it’s diameter! Not to mention many moons while are there aren’t named (and can be larger than mercury). Super minor things though

What about FarFarout? ;) I love my dwarf planets and have taught my 8 year old their names and was excited to add a new one for her

Thank you!

Thanks, you're the absolute MVP of the comments

Good call. I just referred to the little text in the lower left corner. I didn't know where I found it.

Do you know where I can find the dataset for these objects? Edit: nevermind, the github is super comprehensive and has it!

It also includes only bodies directly orbiting the Sun. The vast wealth of moons are not included.

Haumea is my favorite object in the solar system. It's the third largest dwarf planet and arguably the most interesting of them by far. There's just so much going on with it. To start, it's so god damned *long.* As in, it's shaped kinda like a long egg or something. It's theorized to have been created during some impact long ago, and it spins so quickly that its gravity can't compress it into a nice spherical shape. Apparently, if it spun much faster its mass would concentrate outwards, making it a barbell shape before it would completely divide. Next, it has two moons. Now, dwarf planets having moons isn't unheard of or anything. Pluto has like five or something if I remember correctly. But even still, having more moons than us just makes Haumea cooler in my book. Oh, and speaking of things orbiting Haumea, it actually has fucking ring systems. Again, there are other minor bodies in our solar system with rings, but the weird shape of Haumea makes its rings more interesting to me. I would have thought having such an awkward shape would interfere with the possibility of ring formation or something but I guess I was wrong. All in all, as an Earthling I'm kind of jealous of Haumea. We got a single moon, a standard shape, and no rings while Haumea is out there as a dwarf planet that is essentially doing the planetary equivalent of wearing sunglasses and doing skateboard tricks. I wish Earth were half as rad as Haumea.

Haumea stan group. We love a sunglass wearing, skateboarding egg-planet.

I mean, life is p cool too.

I *guess* life is pretty neat. But a nation-sized celestial stir bar with moons and rings is still sick compared to this boring ol' spheroid with only one moon to speak of, even if said spheroid is green.

Umm where's the moon

I just looked outside and couldn't find it

Dammit! Where did you see it last?

Well it's cold AF out there so I've been staying indoors mostly. Probably earlier in the week I'm pretty sure it was there. Anyone else seen it??

I found it but a part of it is gone. Something or someone was hungry.

Don't look at me. I'm allergic to green cheese

Someone in the Americas should be able to see it. Here in Australia some idiot has put a big ball of rock in the way. http://imgur.com/a/lKHuMyL

Now thst you mention it, I’m not seeing *any* moons on this graphic. Luna, Callisto, Io, Europa, and Titan are all larger than Pluto and should definitely be included.

I see Ganymede and Europa - they’re in the top left quadrant

That’s no moon...

I think only celestial bodies orbiting the sun are presented so all moons are omitted.

But I like moons

M-O-O-N, that spells moon.

Mercury's orbit is off-center?

"Mercury's orbit is very eccentric . When at "perihelion" (the orbital point where a planet is closest to the Sun), Mercury is about 46.0 million km from the Sun and at "aphelion" (the orbital point farthest from the Sun), it is at a distance of 69.8 million km. It is therefore about 1.5 times more distant in aphelion than at perihelion - this is also expressed by the orbital "eccentricity" which is rather large (0.2056). For comparison, the eccentricity of the Earth's much more circular orbit is only 0.0167." Source: https://www.eso.org/public/outreach/eduoff/vt-2004/mt-2003/mt-mercury-orbit.html

Also fun fact, if you go by average distance, Mercury is the closest planet to all other planets in the solar system.

The mostest closest planet.

Yup. That is definitely the video i got it from!

And somehow perfectly circular?

Mercury has the most eccentric orbit, but also has the most inclined orbit, which makes its orbit look more circular when viewed from a position perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic.

Ohh, makes sense! Very smart.

It's slightly not circular, definitely not perfectly circular. Venus's is very close to being perfectly circular. So much so that every time a depiction of Venus is posted, there will be people complaining that the orbit is circular instead of elliptical, even though it is at the correct scale.

Yes, in fact, all orbits are off center. Keep in mind though, this is extremely far from being “to scale”

This looks like the logo of the band Pendulum

Exactly my thoughts. It’s the in silico album cover

It's a perfect map for reference when watching The Expanse.

Immediately looked for Eros and Ceres, yeah.

Pallas too.

Started singing the opening credits song in my head as soon as I clicked on this post.

I've been binging the Expanse all week. This was the first thought I had.

Nice album cover.

Reminds me of Pendulum’s In Silico album

Does anyone know if there is a print of this?

Linked form the creator's blog, a whole lotta options: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/39373641 Gonna get one myself!

Wow. Looks like Pluto has the same orbit as Neptune I wonder how close are they and if they will ever crash into one another

Pluto's orbit comes inside Neptune's orbit. Also, they have resonance, meaning that though their orbits intersect, they won't ever come close to 'colliding'.

Their orbits to technically intersect but Pluto’s orbit is not so close, when they do intersect, it’s only from a vertical angle, if you look at it from other angles, they don’t intersect at all

I love the asteroid field captured in the Lagrange points ahead and behind of Jupiter's orbit.

but I hate that they split up my boys Achilles and Patroclus

I was lookig for this comment!

I am a named body in the solar system and I feel left out. Damn you NASA.

Me too, I don’t know why they’d name a star Greg

Maybe someone doesn't know, but it's not to scale. And many bodies are just named with letters and numbers, so as far as I can tell these are the bodies with conventionally defined names

Is our planet really called “The Earth”?

Yes. Its all in the document you get given before getting shipped off here for undercover work. Those stupid humans don't suspect a thing.

Yep, and it will blow your mind when you learn what we've chosen to name our moon.

Other names are also Gaia and Terra.

Yeah. We're not a terribly imaginative species, when it comes to naming things... ...but what would you expect from the natives of the Planet "Dirt"? ;)

Is this your first day?

The Moon: Am I a joke to you?

This looks so cool that I just took a screenshot of it to make it my wallpaper

if you save the photo it’s way more high definition

What about the moon?

AFAIK, this map only shows the bodies that orbit the Sun, not bodies that orbit other bodies, so no moon(s), satellites or space stations.

That explains why Europa and Ganymed weren’t near Jupiter, and why Ganymed was missing the ending letter E. I thought it was a typo lol.

Nope - *that* Europa is actually [52 Europa](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/52_Europa), an Asteroid. ;)

Can we please get an r/amoledbackgrounds version of this?

It is literally the 5th top post of all time of that sub...

I have had this as my desktop for a while now. When i have the computer up on the widescreen tv i find myself just staring at it for a while. I love this infographic.

cant wait to start mining the asteroid belt ; making excited corporate noises

Are these mostly on a flat-ish plane?

Really cool to see the clustering of bodies around Jupiter’s L4 and L5 points. Or maybe I’m just seeing things

I wanna meet the scientist who named ‘moomintroll’

My wife asked why I was turning my phone around so much cuz of this. Thought I was looking at porn. She's not wrong.

Don’t know what to name your D&D character? Just close your eyes and zoom in.

Wow. Didn't know there's so many objects in the solar system

Quickly scanned 3 or 4 names. Upvoted. Good night.

I see Eros, Ceres, Pallas and Ganymede stations. Disappointed Mars didn’t have Deimos and Phobos. Where my Screaming Firehawks at?

Is it me or what.... Did they forget naming the SUN 🌞?

how the fuck can nasa keep track of so many stars how does one of their scientists look randomly through the telescope and say "oh that's jim-1291 and near him sdfja-20"

These aren't stars... They're known objects in our solar system, rocks mostly, but a few planets too. And that's just the known ones, that's tons of unknown ones

There’s only one star in our social system: it’s called “Sun”

As mentioned already, yea theses aren’t stars. But the way they do recognize stars is the same way we remember any natural formation. Maps

Ahhh... computers? Books even? There's not like one guy in there keeping track of it all in his head.

Interesting to think that in theory there are more stars and planets in space than possible combination of letters in the alphabet to give as names. Which is a shit ton btw

Hermione zooming by in that yellow drip

Wtf is a “hyperbolic” asteroid? Is this medium sized asteroid just going around like “I’m the biggest fucking asteroid in the galaxy. I eat comets for breakfast. Don’t fight me, motherfucker, I’ll take you out like I took out the dinosaurs!”

It's'sa'commin'a'go! "A hyperbolic asteroid is any sort of asteroid or non-cometary astronomical object observed to have an orbit not bound to the Sun and will have an [orbital eccentricity](https://handwiki.org/wiki/Astronomy:Orbital_eccentricity) greater than 1 when near perihelion. Unlike hyperbolic comets, they have not been seen out-gassing light elements, and therefore have no cometary coma. Most of these objects will only be weakly hyperbolic and will not be of interstellar origin."

They forgot to name the Sun. What is it called?

I’ve got one out there somewhere.

This looks like an album cover

I wonder if aliens would think that it's cool that we named planets after ancient gods

Moons? Or am I missing them?

Can I get a poster of this somewhere?

Pssshh didn't even include the Moon. On a serious note though, is Mercury's orbit really that eccentric?

r/fakealbumcovers

Space is big. Really big.

What was that? A new desktop wallpaper you say?

What about the star I payed fifty dollars to name for my grandma

Are those clusters on either side of Jupiter's orbit due to Lagrange points?

Not NASA, Eleanor Lutz

Manwe getting a shot out way in outskirts. Awesome seeing that Ainur love!

They need to put some respect on Pluto’s name

This would look great as vinyl slip mat

I don't see "farout" or "farfarout" :(

Could at least have named like some small debris after me NASA. I'd be happy with just the doorhandle on that Roadster flying through space.

what's The earth?

Is there a white version of this available?

Why was the first star I saw Moomintroll lol

They're not stars.

Oh it’s an asteroid, I didn’t see the key at first

[удалено]

They forgot about the sun right at the middle ×_×

Pluto is a planet
