Swirl006

In this series, the initial velocity of the satellite varies from 0 to 1900 meters/second along the positive X axis at 100 m/s intervals. The two large bodies, each with mass of the Earth, orbit around the origin in a stable configuration two Earth-Moon distances apart with a tangential velocity of 506 m/s The satellite, with the mass of the Moon travels through the system affected by the gravitational pull of the other two bodies until it escapes the system. When the satellite escapes or has remained in the system long enough, the pixel at its start point is assigned a color. The color is darker the longer it remains in the system.
