An atlas of periodic solutions to the three-body problem

Scientists have released a comprehensive atlas cataloguing thousands of periodic orbits in the classic three-body problem. Using high‑precision numerical integration and modern visualization tools, the team identified new families of stable and unstable trajectories, extending earlier work that mapped only a few dozen solutions. The database, made publicly available, aims to aid research in celestial mechanics and dynamical systems.
