Orbital Interests

Among all of the coding languages I am learning, I am having the most fun with Mathematica. Below are a few examples of the ways that I have been able to combine Mathematica and my physics knowledge to create interesting visuals. 

Each of these pictures and videos are representative of different types orbits!

Here is a simple elliptical orbit

Here it is but animated!

Here is a little bit more complicated of an orbital path

And again, here it is animated!

Here is a complicated flower orbit (the hardest for the computer to compute!)

And again...

Here are two objects orbiting around each other with a center of mass point between them.

And here is the same situation but from the perspective of the center of mass.
