How to explore Jupiter Trojan Asteroids 3D Explorer
Open the explorer and watch two asteroid swarms ride 60 degrees ahead of and behind Jupiter.
- Open https://freetoolonline.com/space-3d/trojan-asteroids.html and wait for the Sun, Jupiter, and swarms.
- See the blue swarm leading (L4, Greek camp) and the orange swarm trailing (L5, Trojan camp).
- Toggle the L4 and L5 markers to find the exact 60-degree points.
- Press Co-rotate to freeze Jupiter and watch the asteroids librate in tadpole loops.
- Read the facts panel: counts, the 5.2 AU orbit, and the stability limit.
