Halo's Motion

In Response To: Re: Chaotic Motion? (Loren Petrich)

All I ask is that you disregard some of the contradictory information in some of the magazine articles and do your calculations based on the known facts (or at least the few that we've confirmed):
- jason jones has said that Halo is *approximately* 10,000 km (if he said miles, he probably meant km) in diameter. Approximately does not mean exact ...
- as has been figured out, the halo "hologram" is not quite accurate. the halo is of course too close to the large celestial body and is not at the proper position to be at the lagrange point.
- the axis of halo may not be correct in the hologram picture
- we have never stated what exactly halo orbits, except for how it behaves at the lagrangian point - in a halo orbit. If you figure how that works, it should be pretty easy to figure out that it can neither orbit either of the celestial bodies in the rest of the hologram.
The rest I leave up to you for now!
