An atlas of periodic solutions to the three-body problem

The three-body problem remains unsolved—we can't generally predict the motion of three bodies for all starting conditions using regular maths—but there are many solutions showing periodic orbits given specific conditions. Three Body Orbits is a beautiful "atlas" animating 3,942 of them. — Read the rest The post An atlas of periodic solutions to the three-body problem appeared first on Boing Boing.
