Discoveries visualized in the inner Solar System. Main belt asteroid discoveries, shown in green, reside between the orbits of Mars (red) and Jupiter (brownishgray). The Jupiter Trojans, shown in orange, lead and follow Jupiter. In light blue are Near Earth Objects (NEOs) discoveries. Occasionally, regions of bright green, blue, and yellow, show the observatory’s lineofsight when these particular discoveries were made.
