egg changed the topic of #principia to: Logs: https://esper.irclog.whitequark.org/principia | <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly…

⟨egg⟩ left to right: 1. rotating-pulsating […] ⮪ The sensitivity of these equipotentials to the tiniest changes in angular velocity is frightening: in the fourth graph I add the moons other than the moon, nudging the angular velocity by 15″.

⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ That honestly confuses me even more. All the major planets from Mercury to Saturn looked like plot 4 without any primary adjustments.

⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ (Also, how does one obtain dark mode _Mathematica_?)

⟨kingparity⟩ no wonder why trajectories doesn’t render for me with principia lol

⟨PrinceZola⟩ ⟪rnlahaye⟫ No. See https://github.com/mockingbirdne[…] ⮪ was a solution for aero forces dependent on orientation implemented in the mean-time?

⟨Δv1㎧⟩ Putting this here because of its potential interest to users of this channel, like cats.

⟨egg⟩ Yes, this seems interesting to cats.

⟨egg⟩ ⟪Al₂Me₆⟫ Makes sense. But would you think it's […] ⮪ I wonder whether we could have some other way of moving the camera; the target-based system can be messy, especially in this new frame where there are interesting places where there is nothing to target, and where, if the secondary is a system, all nearby celestial bodies move in the reference frame. It would be nice to be able to have the camera fixed in the reference...

... frame at some arbitrary position, rather than just maintaining a fixed orientation but following a moving target.
