| Jovian moons | Tony | 06/03/2015 02:49:18 pm | At least 62 moons orbit Jupiter.
This simulation gives you a view from Saturn of Jupiter's system.
The inner moons follow circular orbits around Jupiter interior to Io's orbit. They orbit in Jupiter's equatorial plane.
The four Galilean moons are the most well-known. They are visible through binoculars.
The Himalia group of moons orbits Jupiter at distances of around 11-12 million kilometers.
The Ananke group of moons orbits Jupiter in a retrograde direction at a distance of about 21 million kilometers. The Carme group also orbits Jupiter in a retrograde direction from about 23 million kilometers.
The Pasiphaë group contains Jupiter's most distant moons.
Themisto and Carpo do not belong to any group. Carpo orbits Jupiter in a prograde direction at the inner edge of the Anake group. Themisto orbits just outside the orbit of the Galilean moons. |

| Europa_capture | Tony | 08/05/2015 07:44:57 pm | In this simulation, inspired by a question on the forum, several objects are placed in orbits very similar to Europa's orbit around Jupiter.

Notice that the satellites get captured through Europa's Lagrange 1 (L1) and Lagrange 2 (L2) points.
Following capture, they either collide with Europa, or complete a few orbits and escape. |

Press "P" to begin the simulation. |
| outermost_moons | Tony | 10/28/2015 08:30:01 pm | What is the farthest a moon can orbit the Earth? In this simulation, the real moon is the color teal.

| halley | Tony | 01/12/2016 10:04:01 pm | Halley, being a comet is often outgassing when close to the Sun. This affects its trajectory. But more significantly, its trajectory is affected by perturbations on its eccentric orbit by the planets. This simulation considers only those perturbations to explain why Halley's comet does not return on an exactly regular basis. |

The timing in the two simulations is a few minutes off.
My simulation does not take into account the precession of the Earth. This may put London in a slightly different position on the globe, and explain the difference.

Such a planet could exist for a few years, but its orbit would not be stable. It would quickly fall into a tadpole orbit or a horseshoe orbit, where it would make repeated scary close-passes to the real Earth every few centuries. |

| LunarParallax | Tony | 02/04/2017 11:14:16 am | The Moon does not travel against the background stars in a straight line unless you're at the North or South Pole. The vertical movement of any location on Earth due to Earth's spin causes the Moon to trace a sinusoidal path.
Try adjusting the Latitude to see how it affects this apparant path. |

Here's the view from Nashville, Tennessee, as if you were on a see-through Earth with no atmosphere.
The wavy motion is caused by Nashville's up/down motion due to its latitude and the tilt of the Earth. |

It will pass 43840 km above Earth's surface on Oct 12, 2017 05:42:11 UTC with a speed of 7.645 km/s.
Earth's gravity will bend its orbit.

2017 FW17 available on 17.Sep.2017
This is the "moment" when the object entered the solar system about 170K years ago
The uncertainty is still very high but the simulation shows that the object might be an old comet. This agrees with another sinulation where 100 clones were generated and 47 out 100 clones appeared to have a cometary origin. |

Distance to Earth's center:
93184 km
Speed at closest approach:

The asteroid's size is exaggerated. |
| 2017TC1 | Tony | 10/08/2017 02:34:47 pm | The uncertainty in its orbit is high, but the nominal orbit of 2017 TC1 shows it is 3:1 resonance with Jupiter, and it comes VERY close to the Sun.
3:1 is a Kirkwood gap. Perhaps this is why it is almost empty. Jupiter excites them until they crash into the Sun. |

Neptune was moving very slowly against the sky because it was about to begin retrograde motion.
He observed Neptune again on January 27. He believed it was a star, and thus was not credited with its discovery. |

Hawaiian and reflects the way this object is like messenger from the distant past reaching out to us ('ou means reach out

This view is in a rotating frame that holds Earth stationary in its orbit.
Objects like this get captured and escape through Earth's L1 and L2 points.
The orbit is still very uncertain, especially if is artificial. And orbits like this are very chaotic. So this should simply be viewed as a possible orbit.
The Moon and a geostationary satellite are included. |

| Gravity Simulator--Slingshot | | 12/21/2019 09:32:28 am | To vary the pattern or interactions, go to Objects, Edit Objects (elements), select Comet, and slightly tweak the semimajor axis or the eccentricity. Small changes in the initial conditions will produce radically different patterns of interactions. |
| Slingshot Effect Simulation | | 12/21/2019 09:48:10 am | To change the pattern of interactions, go to Objects > Edit Objects (elements) > Comet and tweak any of the orbital parameters (semimajor axis, eccentricity, etc.) slightly. Small changes in the initial conditions result in very different patterns of interaction. |
