Thank goodness we're coming out of the asteroid field.

And this is the planet's tropical zone.

Location Delta Vega. Class M planet.

It basically tells us this is the distribution of planets in size.

That's Altair4, the bright speck below the star.

It passed directly through Earth's orbit. We were in that that spot six hours earlier.
