Annefrank Asteroid Flag, 5535

Flag of 5535 Annefrank

This asteroid was discovered in 1942 by Karl Reinmuth. The name was chosen more than 50 years later, to honor Anne Frank - a young girl who died in a concentration camp during World War II.

On November 2, 2002 the spacecraft Stardust encountered the asteroid Annefrank. Data and particles from asteroid Annefrank 5535 returned to earth in Utah on January 16, 2006. Asteroid Annefrank orbits in the main belt. She was discovered on March 23, 1942 during the tragedy of the WWII.

Ann Frank's personal diary was published after her death and stands as a testimony to tragedy and inner light that can be found in the human heart. Her diary was first published in 1947 and later into English in 1952.

Vesta Flag, of the Main Asteroid Belt

Asteroid Vesta Flag

Vesta is one of the brightest asteroids in belt, you can even seen it in the sky with the naked eye from time to time.

Vesta is nearly spheroid almost putting it in the dwarf planet category, but not quite.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft entered orbit last month on July 16, 2011.

433 Eros Asteroid Flag

Picture of Eros

Like the great monolith from 2001 a Space Odyssey, Eros tempted mankind to reach up and out towards new frontiers, by using the magnificent power of the mind.

Eventually Asteroid Eros 433 (S-Type) became a perpetually parking space for NEAR Shoemaker Spacecraft.

Coincidentally this ship made the first soft landing on an asteroid on February 12, 2001. The Near Shoemaker spacecraft worked on the asteroid for 16 days, until February 28, 2001.

Greek Image of the Erotic God

In honor of the grand event in humanity, this asteroid certainly deserves a flag of its own. It was originally named after the the Greek God of erotic passion. The Romans were so enchanted by this Eastern God of the Greeks that their own God of Love came into reality - Cupid.

Jupiter Flag, King of the Planets

Flag of Jupiter

The flag of Jupiter has a metallic brown background. There are four white stripes that represent the four major moons discovered by in 1610 by Galileo Galiei.

The symbol of Jupiter is a combination of three symbols - the astrological symbol for Jupiter, the open Egyptian Eye, and finally the Chinese Symbol for the planet. The red disc in the hybridized eye is reflective of Jupiter's Giant Red spot.

The coincidence that the largest planet of our solar system aligns with the paramount god of Roman Mythology is uncanny. This distant planet has acted as our cosmic guardian by sweeping up potentially deadly asteroids or comets that could have destroyed life on earth.


Jupiter is the proverbial eye of the solar system on constant watch, defending earth from asteroids, comets, and rouge planets. Jupiter seems to have its own life force and an eye focused on defense of earth.
