interesting
The two little moons are locked in a 'resonance' where they eternally avoid collision with each other in Neptune's gravitational field ...sounds almost supernatural. Cool stuff.
Thanks for posting that Nikola. |

Resonance in three of Jupiter's moons;
I thought those interested in astrophysics might like this depiction. Neptune's moons follow a sine vs. cosine wave orbital resonance which gets a little technical: however, the graphic is really neat to watch. Thanks to Nikola for posting and to Tom who made me think of my astrophysics.
