The Science Asylum | Are Orbits like this even POSSIBLE?! @ScienceAsylum | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 6 hours ago
We like to imagine of gravitational orbits as the conic sections: circles, ellipses, etc. That's only for two-body problems though. Let's take a look at three-body problems (and beyond) using Newtonian mechanics as well as General Relativity. How weird can orbits actually get?
