YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWe like to imagine of gravitational orbits as the conic sections: circles, ellipses, etc. That's only for two-body problems though. Let's take a look at three-body problems (and beyond) using Newtonian mechanics as well as General Relativity. How weird can orbits actually get?
