Summary

Description
English: This diagram shows one complete orbit of asteroid 2015 BZ509 in a rotational frame, where Jupiter is stationary. The view is from the north looking south onto the Solar System. The dot in the middle is the Sun, the green circle is the orbit of Earth, the black circle is the orbit of Jupiter, and Jupiter is the red circle (not to scale). The orbit of 2015 BZ509 is shown in blue when it is above the plane of the orbit of Jupiter, and it is shown in magenta when it is below the plane of the orbit of Jupiter. Due to perturbations each orbit takes a slightly different path, so the end points of one orbit do not match.[1]
Italiano: Il diagramma mostra un'orbita completa dell'asteroide (514107) 2015 BZ509 in un sistema di riferimento eliocentrico, solidale con Giove (nel quale cioè Giove appare fisso nello spazio). L'orbita viene osservata dal polo nord celeste. In verde è mostrata l'orbita della Terra ed in nero quella di Giove, la cui posizione è indicata col pallino rosso. L'orbita dell'asteroide è mostrata in blu quando è al di sopra del piano orbitale di Giove e in magenta quando è al di sotto.[1]
