Extended Data Fig. 7: Change in orbital elements between 60 and 365 days before impact.
From: Direct measurement of decimetre-sized rocky material in the Oort cloud
Each clone is colour-coded individually and represents one sample within the orbital covariance matrix. Time is not shown on any axis, but the clones that start at t - 60 days are clustered at zero and spread out as we go further back in time, as the distance from Mars decreases and then increases again.
