AFAIK figure-8 is only stable configuration. others config like euler, lagrange configuration is can be easily broke by small disturbances.

figure-8 trajectory is very hard to calculate for me. all I can do is to search for a initial status (positon, velocity & relative positions) and let the simulator run by itself.

it’s chinese characters. they means: random, figure-8 orbit, euler orbits, lagrange orbit, pause/go.

8 figure is only known stable orbit which means it will keep the shape after small disturbances. Euler and Lagrange orbit will keep the shapes but they are not stable. I learned above from : https://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/~ateckent/vacation_reports/Report...

A simple 3-body problem simulator, having fun!
