Hi, sorry about the late response. The diagram is a bit confusing. Those flashes represent only the dates of impact events here on Earth. That may
sound like a strange thing to put into a diagram but I've done to show that there is a possible connection between them and the position of the Solar
System Barycentre when they occurred. The statistical probability of not a single one of these 39 events showing up on those Barycentre motion arcs
furthest from the Sun is very low. I haven't just selected those that form this "pattern". 34 or so are from a publicised list of impact events.
This list is too large to depict in a diagram, so I only used those events of 1kT or greater. Those added with an asterisk are similar events not on
published lists, which don't alter of the pattern, but which may be of interest in this context. For example, the Vitim Event. American scientists
estimated this one to have had an energy between 200 and 400kT of TNT based on military satellite data, however Russian scientists with access to the
site later estimated the blast to have been between 4 and 5kT because of the extensive tree damage over a wide area. They refer to this event as a
"mini Tunguska". Most people haven't even heard of it. That's why I felt it had to be included. anyway, thanks for your comment and question. I
was hoping to hear arguments as to other possible causes of this anomaly. For example, the Barycentre on outer arcs somehow bringing Earth into closer
proximity to the asteroid belt. This however can't be the cause, because not only the Sun, Earth, Moon and all the planets rotate around the
Barycentre, the Asteroids do too... Cheers, Tom
