Animated Minor Planet Orbits

One of my favourite things about the Wikimedia Commons is that they're constantly being updated, which means new animated gifs! Today's subject is Animated Minor Planet Orbits.




What I love the repetition and subtle differences. Although they are diagrams, they're very aesthetically pleasing, and could easily be viewed as abstract works. They'd even make a great collection of digital pogs!

This last one is pretty great as well, I especially love the file name - HildasOrbitWithLagrangePointsLousy.gif. I've opted to manually enlarged it here, after having developed an appreciation for clearly enlarged pixels thanks to Tom Moody.
