Is that the person who made the orbit animations for wikipedia finally publishing the tool?

⟨lpg4999⟩ > It uses ideas from the unpublished ad-hoc tool by Phoenix7777 used for creating many of the illustrations on Wikipedia.

⟨sovietonion1608⟩ what exactly is the Lunar Distant High Earth Orbit? and how does it differ from HEO?

<queqiao->
⟨Damien⟩ From the name I'm assuming it's an earth orbit, higher than the altitude of the moon. Possibly involving L2 but I'm not sure

⟨Damien⟩ Whereas a regular high earth orbit is lower than the moon
