Stupid question

[rinoa79]

Hi of all,
I think I will do a stupid question...
But I didn't understand if Celestia applies the three-body problem for its calculations.
Please, can somebody explain me?
Thanks in advance,
Mary!

Hi. No. For the sake of fast computing, all orbits in Celestia are elliptical 2-body orbits (typically for stars, planets, moons, spacecraft in low orbit...), or sampled orbits (usually for spacecrafts in complex interplanetary flight).
Cheers,
Guillermo
