⟨butcher6994⟩ But where?
<queqiao->
⟨butcher6994⟩ Also how does one describe such an orbit?
<queqiao->
⟨daverec1525⟩ Equipotentials, as that OP suggests, seems like a nice way to describe it, especially when seeing the ‘peaks’ of that orbit reach the same or similar equipotential levels making up that local system.
<queqiao->
⟨daverec1525⟩ Plus it’s also in the reference frame where the two larger bodies in that image appear stationary.
<queqiao->
⟨daverec1525⟩ * ‘appear stationary’.
<queqiao->
⟨daverec1525⟩ Equipotentials, as that OP suggests, seems like one part to describe it, especially when seeing the ‘peaks’ of that orbit reach the same or similar equipotential levels making up that local system.

⟨sichelgaita⟩ We should really have a blurb in the wiki on that "new" frame (the lagrangian one). This would be a nice illustration of its use. But we are extremely lazy when it comes to writing documentation.

⟨butcher6994⟩ Fair enough. Feel free to use that picture.
