A clip from April 2020 of adding trails to planetary bodies to create a visual representation of the movement paths. The planetary type bodies are moved using Newton's law of universal gravitation and some initial velocity (like a big bang).

\[ F=G{\frac {m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}},\]

The math holds up in the simulation. Had a lot fun experimenting with the mass of the bodies and changing the initial starting velocities in an attempt to create perfect orbits.
