Reconstruction of Guidebooks LUT series "Asteroids and comets"

[Croc]

I am completing a large reconstruction of the Asteroids and Komet series of guides.

I deleted the following files from their old version:

• TNOBox.lua
• TNO2Box.lua
• TNO3Box.lua
• TNO4Box.lua
• TNO5Box.lua
• DamCentBox.lua

Here is the new version of the Guidebooks. In the red frame guides to "Asteroids and comets":

New group of guidebooks "Trojans". This group includes:

• Jupiter's Trojans - 253 nominal asteroids
• Uranus Trojans - 1 asteroid (transferred from the UranBox.lua file)
• Neptune's Trojans - 22 asteroids (transferred from the NeptuneBox.lua file)

New files:

• Troyan1Box.lua
• Troyan2Box.lua
• Troyan3Box.lua
• Troyan4Box.lua

For Trojans, the color palette has been changed (brown font on a black background background) to white font on a gray background.

To be continued...

Another new group of guidebooks is System. This group includes:

• Asteroids with satellites (53 asteroids + 64 satellites)
• Asteroids with a common barycenter (22 pairs + 1 triple)
• The Quest for the Ninth Planet (17 asteroids). At the end of the table are single nominal giants (3 asteroids)

New files:

• AstSat1Box.lua
• AstSat2Box.lua
• SystemBox.lua
• NinthBox.lua

Note: The following are included in the SystemBox.lua file:

• Asteroid Belt (by Cham)
• Kuiper Belt (by Zemlyanin)
• Oort Cloud (by Zemlyanin)

To be continued...

The series "Asteroids and comets" opens with a group of asteroids "Classic":

• The first open asteroids (80 asteroids)
• Near-Earth nominal asteroids (Apollos, Atira, Atons) - 76 asteroids, including 65 nominal asteroids.
• Cupids and Mars crossers (73 asteroids, including 49 nominal asteroids).

Files:

• AstBelt1Box.lua
• AstAAABox.lua (old name - AstNameBox.lua)
• AmurMarsBox.lua

Note. Removed asteroids with satellites from AstAAABox.lua and AmurMarsBox.lua files. They are placed in the files AstSat1Box.lua and AstSat2Box.lua.

Completing a series of guides "Asteroids and Comets" group "Comets", consisting of 3 files:

• cometsBox.lua
• comets2box.lua
• comets3Box.lua

В этой группе 248 непериодических комет, в том числе 6 новых.
At the end of the comets3Box.lua file there is an interactive tablet for viewing fragments of comet D / 1993 F2 (Shoemakers - Levy9), that broke apart in July 1992 and collided with Jupiter in July 1994:

To summarize:
The Asteroids and Komet series consists of:

• 11 guides to 666 asteroids
• 3 guides to 248 non-periodic comets + shattered comet shots by Shoemaker-Levy 9.

The listed files are located in the SolarSystem folder along with the 9 files of the Planets and Moons guidebooks.
I decided to create two new folders instead of the SolarSystem folder:

• PlanetsMoons for planets and moons
• AsteroidsComets for asteroids and comets

Note. The update files will be published in the "Graphical interface Lua Universal Tools v5.0 beta - RELEASE! (New edition 12/14/2017)" topic.
