An atlas of periodic solutions to the three-body problem
by Rob Beschizza from Boing Boing on (#78YKY)
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
