Yellow arcs indicate one movable satellite and one non-maneuverable object.
And red arcs represent two dead objects, which have no choice but to continue on an potentially inevitable crash course.
The visualisation is the creation of Professor Moriba Jah of the University of Texas, who specialises in tracking orbital debris.
He revealed the tool’s aim is to illustrate how objects narrowly miss other constantly, despite the vastness of space around Earth.
