These animations required me to learn the #mathematics of #CelestialMechanics and I had to find out what terms like #MeanAnomaly, #EccentricAnomaly and #TrueAnomaly are. It also requires the #NumericalSolution of one algebraic equation, which was fun to investigate. All the details are on the #Wikipedia page for Kepler’s Laws here:
