Collection of Remarkable Three-Body Motions

written by Eugene Butikov

Available Languages: English, Russian

A collection of EJS models showing the motions of three or more bodies attracted to one another by gravitational forces. The Java applets on this website allow us to observe fascinating trajectories of three-body motions that delight the eye and challenge our intuition. However, among the great variety of extremely complex motions there exist a finite subset of very simple regular motions. Some of these regular motions are also illustrated in this collection.

EJS applets on this site were created with EJS version 2.0 and are not compatible with the latest version of EJS.

Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5 of Java Applet Plug-in.
