I found this photo of the computer generated map of objects orbiting earth. It is a saturnian ghost image of the shape of saturn with it's rings?

Also, figuring a way through all this stuff must be quite a chore for computers to navigate through too to get out beyond all this for travel to the moon or other planets or to the sun for research, especially since a lot of it is orbiting the earth at different distances from it. Also because of each objects weight it might have to travel at different speeds at different altitudes in order to remain in orbit and not either fall to earth or float out further into Space.
