Asteroid Discovery from 1980 - 2011 (4K HD version)

[aserna32]

I have gear that can play this in original format!! All I can say is now. . .I want this software! :O Is this from a Simulator or a software tool? !WOW!

[tmargo]

Beautiful work! I work at UCSD and have several 4K projectors (2 Sony SXRDs & 4 JVC D-ILAs) installed both permanently and some on long-term loan. We host the annual CineGrid workshops (cinegrid.org) here which showcase the latest & greatest in next generation digital cinema. we are also a CineGrid Exchange node which is a repository of excellent content for these emerging media. I would love to get a copy of this as a 4K TIFF sequence to view here. Please PM me to discuss further & coordinate.

Since someone asked, here is my (unconfirmed) hypothesis about the color coding. White obviously represents new asteroid discoveries, but for the others I'm only speculating. It seems the colors are classified based on how close their orbit gets to the sun. Asteroids who orbits are always farther out than Mars's orbit are colored green. Asteroids that sometimes get as close to the Sun as Earth's orbit or closer are colored red. Asteroids the sometimes fall between these two are colored yellow.

@thenonsequitur my science teacher showed this a couple weeks ago. green means just regular and non-threatening asteroids. Yellow mean potentially threatening to earth. Red mean treatening to earth. just remember the chances of one of the threatening ones hitting Earth is very, very slim. :) hope this helped

That's intense!

[henrypostulart]

Stunning in original resolution!

After waiting all the way to 2011, you only get to see all the asteroids for a fraction of a second? You really should keep the full set of asteroids spinning for at least a few more seconds.

[szyzyg]

@Nomoreidsleft They stay on screen - perhaps your brightness is too low?

[Nomoreidsleft]

@Nomoreidsleft Nope, as soon as the counter reaches 2010 553087, you start fading to black. My suggestion is to keep it displayed for a longer time so that we can see the full set of asteroids, that you were building up until.

Btw, I'm playing it full screen (1680x1050) using original resolution, with a integrated Intel GMA G33, and it runs pretty smoothly. No one really has a 4K capable screen right now.

MUSIC??? WHAT'S IT CALLED I LOVE IT!

[mcextreme239]

playing smooth in original 

[MrMelville100]

Hi. Yes the white dots are as they are discovered and the green ones are ones already discovered.

[dilibau]

I still don't get it... are the white luminating dots actual discoveries of asteroids in the respective time frame? cuz that would seem a lot of discoveries ...

[lustreboy]

so what do the red and green colours represent? those in spable orbits and those going off kilter?

great vid!

[bhabooshka]

I watched this full screen and the text in the end seemed spinning.

[dasvenson09]

so much for space being empty

[irishfinger]

@dasvenson09 Well. It is considerably empty, when compared to what we're accustomed to here on earth. I mean, Hundreds of thousands of kilometres between two objects in space, and it's not too common to find things very close together unless gravity is pulling em together. Overall, space is not empty. From our point of view, things are just so far apart up there that it seems relatively empty.

Impressive video. Did someone know what's the song?

[Er4clito]

If you see all the video you can read it... however it is "Dance Monster" by Kevin Macleod

[szyzyg]

@Er4clito It is slowed down by 50% though, and re-edited a bit.

[jumpjack3]

are data and software used to build up this video available to the public?

[CERNalf]

Well I have a planetarium... but the 2048 version is sufficient. Is it possible to have it? with which license?

Thank you very much,

Alf

[EdouardDubois]

Dude... 

[lovebarokv]

after view it with trifonic its not the same anymore

[Mavi222]

@lovebarokv exactly! Trifonic gives it better mood!

[tenacious1884]

original format seems just like slideshows in my pc xD

[harrytwinotter]

Thanks. I used it to give my new HD computer monitor a workout.

[cench]

another amazing video, thx.
