Hi all, I just added a new feature to the site. You can now contribute compute via your browser to help find novel orbits. If you find a linearly stable orbit, you get to name it!https://www.threebodyorbits.com/huntAlso thank you so much for all the positive feedback, I truly appreciate it. If you have any additional suggestions please let me know

Cool, are any of these particularly stable? Like, is there any choreography that could plausibly survive in practice?
