Title: Resonances
Post by: atomic7732 on June 20, 2011, 07:39:15 PM: Resonances occur when a bigger planet has influence over a smaller body, where objects with orbits that you would thing could collide (same inclination), they in fact, cannot. Iwas just messing around, and I got this neat 2:1 resonance of Earth with a Jupiter. The Earth orbits once for every two orbits of Jupiter.

Shift + F can be used to find resonances with a rotating from to the selected body and it's parent.

They're partying.

The kidney bean shape means it's in a 1:1 resonance (and of course if the object is on an orbit, it is on the orbit with itself), and the 2 lobed shape means that it's orbiting 2 times! omg!

The frame spins fast. This causes objects not within around 2-3 SMAs of the object your rotating frame is to, to be spun around so quick that US's trail segments aren't updating quick enough. US believes that the object is going slow, so it updates every time it deems necessary to make a nice curved line (not that often).

(or at least that's my hypothesis)

I'd like to add that resonances can also occur between objects of similar mass, such as in the Io-Europa-Ganymede laplace resonance.

Post by: Dan Dixon on June 24, 2011, 02:57:19 PM: The crazy far out straight line trails are a bug with the Rotating Frame feature (Shift+F) that I've never fixed. Someday. :)
