Скачать или смотреть New Earth-Moon orbits discovered: stable multi-orbiters

This is an actual freefall path through space: a natural solution of the three-body problem, where a spacecraft alternately circles Earth and the Moon with no engines, just gravity.

What you’re seeing is shown in the rotating frame: a perspective that turns with the Earth–Moon system so both bodies look fixed. In the usual inertial frame, the Moon moves in its orbit, but the spacecraft’s motion is harder to interpret. The rotating frame reveals the hidden structure of these orbits, making their repeating pattern clear.

These orbits could reshape space travel, enabling new ways to explore, supply, and connect Earth and Moon. What you’re seeing isn’t science fiction, it’s physics, etched into nature’s laws.
