3 Body Problem - Solutions!

To be clear, there is not universal way to solve a 3 orbiting bodies problem, but there are possible solutions.  Some are quite "creative" and mesmerizing to watch!

BTW - These all assume the 3 bodies have the same mass.  I am pretty sure the solutions would still work, just with different spacings / slightly different paths (?)

This is supposed to be an animated gif.  Is anyone seeing that (WAY more interesting animated!)

Here is a short video version (with a strange hitch in the middle):

Not animating for me, but still looks cool.

OK, It might be too large.  I will try a video version.

Looks like the problem is the gif is way to big.  It's 50 megs!  Even an half-size with the frame rate knocked down is 10 megs.
