It's big, so follow the link for the full sized image. LINK

It shows relative positions for various items in low, mid and high earth orbits, plus a cool look at the Earth and Moon relative to each other in distance. Had never seen this previously, and I'm a space nerd.

So I can assume there is nothing in HEO other than the moon?

HEO doesn't add a lot of value for the energy cost, other than raw distance, so it isn't used very much.

IBEX is in high earth orbit, presently.

It was a legitimate question.

Hubble is in LEO, just for the record.
