Title: Binary Planets with Moons
Post by: DJP02 on August 18, 2014, 01:22:52 PM

I have been trying to figure out but I seem to cant get an moon to orbit a binary planet around the star. :/. Its very hard, any help?

How far apart are the planets? If they are too close, gravitational forces will cause the moon to sling away or crash into one of the planets. I hope this helped! :)

it is the other way around, creepah.

The planets have to be really close to one another and the moon must be far far away. You can manually adjust the velocity of the moon so it will stay in orbit!

Well, you can select the two, put a barrycenter, and try to line it up...

That's a really cool idea you have, though!
