In Response To: Halo orbit simulation (Mike) On the page you said you haven't watched it long enough to see if it's stable, well it certainly is not, it ends up being pulled by the giant's gravity into a spinning frenzy :) > For anyone who still isn't sure what a "Halo orbit" > means (and how something can orbit an empty point in space), > I've written a planetary simulator to demonstrate exactly what's > going on. > It's a Java applet at: > http://www.ai.mit.edu/people/wessler/halo / > Two halo orbits are demonstrated: one very close to L5, and > another that makes a really weird-looking wide shape around L4. > I plan to expand this a bit with some explanation of why this > works later, but for now, enjoy the applet. > Please send comments to wessler@ai.mit.edu. > Happy New Year! > Mike
