Summary

Description
English: The chaotic movement of 3 interacting particles.

This is an animation of the (not-reduced) three-body problem. The center of view is the mass center of the three particles.

Calculated numerically with Maple 10. Note: the 'n' parameter (currently '3') can be adapted at will.
