Worth watching to the end since it gets really, really crowded in our little piece of space. Video created by Scott Manley, formerly of the Armagh Observatory in Northern Ireland. Just shows how much effort has gone into tagging asteroids in the last few years.

Amazing and almost hypnotic!
Over half a million of those things out there and still alot more to find I'd bet.

Thanks for posting Kieran. I have seen that before but I still don't get bored looking at the pace with which we have been able to discover these thing.
